Evangelism Strategy

The Evangelism Strategy department seeks to assist churches in equipping Christians with evangelism strategies to share the Gospel of Christ through emphases on child evangelism, interfaith/apologetic evangelism and other various evangelism strategies.

Sharing the Gospel with Children
We provide resources and conferences to assist the local church in leading children to faith in Christ by training and equipping their church leaders in various facets of ministry, including Vacation Bible School. Experienced and skilled consultants throughout Florida help to provide clear and effective ways to share Christ on levels that children understand and accept. Simple child-like faith comes only after someone shares Christ with that child.

Interfaith/Apologetics Evangelism
We help connect churches, ministries and associations to quality resources and consultants in the various areas of interfaith and apologetics throughout our state. Florida’s interfaith/apologetic consultants have been trained through NAMB and other entities to assist older youth, college students and adults to both have confidence in what they believe and to share Christ with those of other faiths in our highly pluralistic culture.

Evangelism Strategy
We help churches and associations develop a climate/culture for evangelism and help to develop contextualized multi-facet strategies that assist churches in effectively sharing the Greatest News in their communities. Our staff can work with you in one of several different delivery systems to assist your church in developing an evangelistic climate and putting together a strategy around the 6 Essentials of Evangelism: Praying, Enjoy & Serve the Lost, Evangelism Training, Friendly Up the Church, Bridging & Harvesting Efforts, and Connecting and Deploying Disciples.
