Previously I wrote regarding generally on the Great Commission Matthew 28:19-20. I wish to continue the thought on to the implied word of these verses… “HOW” Throughout Jesus’ earthly ministry he taught by using parables and direct examples in front of the disciples. As the few days surrounding the crucifixion and through Pentecost by the power Spirit the Disciples began to recall the tools they watched Jesus use to bring people to faith in himself.
I would like to review the several forms or techniques, used today by many in witnessing. This refers to the process we currently refer to Evangelism. Debating what evangelism is or is not will come at a later date but for now we will look at common tools and techniques for witnessing.
If there are additional methods or tools you would like us to review, please email them to http://www.messagetothelost@yahoo.com.
Be watchful and be ready and may God bless.
