evangelism

Ever had someone state emphatically that they do not have any spiritual beliefs at all?

You could try just talking them around but many people today respond better to visual communication as well as just talking.

Youth today have an attention span of about 1 minute. Just look at their browsing habits.

Someone that has just tried to shut you down and end the conversation probably can only stand about another minute or so before they walk off. What can you do in a minute?

The bible has many wonderful promises to equip us in doing our assigned tasks for the Kingdom (eg “Perform signs and wonders”, “that you will do even greater things” Mark 16:17,18 and John 14:12-14, etc.)  We do not seek out glory and power for ourselves but miracles can accompany disciples as they go out into the world and interact.  These can be very powerful tools in evangelism.  You can easily crash and burn as well!  Don’t let yourself be the Goat…

This is a little exercise that my friend Dave K. added to our Blind Spot Test ice breaker. (Like the Blind Spot test it can be used for ice breaking evangelism or discipleship.)

Someone put a black dot in the middle of a white A4 piece of paper and held it up. Dave was then asked to tell them what he saw. He replied “a dot?”.
