45. Spiritual Revival
leads to
Key To Successful
Evangelism

46. KEY # 2
TRAINING AND
EQUIPPING

47. Churches grow
wheneach
member is trained
and equipped for
service.

48. The disciples were
equipped and trained by
the world’s greatest
teacher. Jesus spent 3
½ years training and
equipping His disciples.

49. In the book of
Acts they applied
the lessons Jesus
taught them.

50. The apostle Paul
encouraged every
pastor to equip
the believers for
the work of
ministry.

51. Ephesians 4:11,12
“And He Himselfgave
some to be apostles, some
prophets, some
evangelists, and some
pastors, andteachers for
the equippingof the saints
for the work of ministry
for the edifyingof the
body of Christ.”

52. Ministry of Healing, p. 149
“Many would be
willing to work if they
were taught how to
begin.
They need to be
instructed and
encouraged.”

53. Ministry of Healing, p. 149
“Everychurch
should be a
training school
for Christian
workers.”

54. “It’s members should be
taught how to:
•Give Bible readings,
•How to conduct and
teach Sabbath-school
classes,”

55. •How best to help the
poor and to care for
the sick,
•And how to work for
the unconverted”

56. “There should be:
•Schools of health
•Cooking schools,
•Classes in various
lines of Christian help
work.”

57. “There should not
onlybe teaching,
but actual work
under experienced
instructors.”

58. “Let the teachers lead
the way in working
among the people, and
others, uniting with
them, will learn from
their example.”

59. Gospel Workers p. 197,198
“If pastorswould give more
attention to gettingand
keepingtheir flock
actively engaged at work,
they would accomplish
more good, have more
timefor study and
religious visiting, and also
avoidmany causes of
friction.”

60. A worker who has
been trained and
equipped for the
work can
accomplish far
more than workers
have not been
trained.

61. Evangelism p. 474
“One worker who has
been trained and
educated for the work,
who is controlled by the
Spirit of Christ,”

62. Evangelism p. 474
“will accomplish far
more than ten
laborers who go out
deficient in knowledge
and weak in the faith.”

63. How can the
church
practically work
in an organized
way?

64. Evangelism, p. 115
“In our churches let
companies be formed
for service. The
formation of small
companies as a basis of
Christian effort is a plan
that has been presented
before me by One who
cannot err.”

65. Organizing Ministries
1.Bible study ministry
2.Literature ministry
3.Home group ministry
4.Visitation ministry
5.Health ministry

“Now there are diversities of
Gifts, but the same Spirit.
There are differences of
Ministries, but the same
Lord.
And there are diversities of
Activities, but it is the same
God who works all in all.”

68. 1 Corinthians 12:11
“But one and the
same Spirit works all
these things
distributing to each
oneindividuallyas
He wills.”

73. When church members
are:
•Equipped to serve and
•Form small groups
•To reach out to their
community, in Bible-
based ministries,

74. The church
will
explode in
growth.

75. The question is:

76. What is our church
doing to help each
member discover
their gifts and equip
each member for
service?

77. A revived church
equipped to witness,
is a church that is
ready for the 3
rd
key
to successful
evangelism.

78. KEY # 3
COMMUNITY
OUTREACH

79. Churches grow when
there is a planned process
of community outreach
meeting the physical,
mental, social and
spiritual needs of people.

80. Matthew 4:23
“Now Jesus went about all
Galilee, teachingin their
synagogues, preachingthe
gospel of the kingdom, and
healingall kinds of sickness
and all kinds of disease among
the people.”

81. Jesus lovingly met
people’s felt needs. As
their hearts opened, He
shared the eternal
principles of the
kingdom with them.

82. We will have success in
reaching the needs of
the people as we follow
the Savior’s example
and methods.

83. Ministry of Healing, p. 143
“Christ’s method alone
will give true success
in reaching the people.
The Savior mingled
with men as one who
desired their good,”

84. “He showedHis
sympathy for them,
ministeredto their
needs, and wontheir
confidence. Then He
badethem, “Follow
Me.”

85. Growing churches have
a variety of programs
that meet the needs
of varied people
groups.

86. Just as Jesus met the
physical, mental,
emotional and
spiritual needs, His
people, filled with
His love, do the
same.

87. What is the purpose
of medical
missionary work?

88. Evangelism p. 516
“Medical missionary
work gives
opportunity for
carrying forward
successful
evangelistic work.”

89. “It is as these lines of
effort are united, that
we may expect to
gather the most
precious fruit for the
Lord.”

90. If you want to have a
harvest it is
necessary to sow the
seed.
Therefore let’s look at
some principles of
community outreach

91. Principles of
Community Outreach
1.The narrow-few
principle

92. The narrower
your program
base the fewer
results.

93. The broader your
program base
greater the
results.

94. The more
contacts
The more
conversions.

95. Principles of
Community Outreach
2. The pathways
principle

96. Each program is a
pathwayinto the
community inviting
people into contact
with the church.

97. Principles of
Community Outreach
3.Felt-needs principle

98. When members discover
their spiritual gifts and
meet the felt needs of
othersthrough a
variety of ministries
lovingly leading them
to Jesus the church
grows.

103. Home Bible Groups are
meeting in church
members homes.
They are studying the
book of Daniel.

107. Broad-based
community programs
awaken spiritual
interest and prepare
the territory for
evangelistic
meetings.

108. We recommend that
your church attempt
to contact three times
its active
membership each
year in community
based programs.

109. By placing these names
on a data base and
developing an active
interest file along
with personal
relationships

110. you will have a
responsive
audience for
evangelistic
meetings.

111. God blesses:
•The prayers we offer
•The visits we make
•The literature we distribute
•The Bible studies we give
•The health programs we
conduct
•The evangelistic meetings
we hold

112. KEY # 4
REAPING
(PUBLIC EVANGELISTIC
MEETINGS)

113. Whenthe
gospel seed has
been sown, it is
time to reap a
harvest.

114. Churches grow
whenGod’s word
is preached through
evangelistic
proclamation.

115. The New
Testament Church
placed priority on
evangelism.

116. Acts 8:4
“Therefore those
who were scattered
went everywhere
preaching the word.”

117. 1 Corinthians 1:21
“For since, in the wisdom
of God, the world through
wisdom did not know
God, it pleased God
through the foolishnessof
the message preachedto
save those who believe.”

118. 1 Corinthians 1:25
“Because the
foolishnessof God is
wiserthan men, and the
weakness of God is
stronger than men.”

119. Why Evangelism?
Because
evangelism is
God’s means of
saving lost people.

120. Luke 19:10
“for the Son of Man
has come to seek and
to save that which
was lost.”

121. If God’s top priority
was to save the lost.
What should our
top priority be?
Evangelism!

122. Evangelism, p. 17
“Evangelistic work, opening
the Scriptures to others,
warning men and women of
what is coming upon the
world, is to occupy more
and still more of the timeof
God’s servants.

123. The question is:
Where do we
start?

124. Church Manual p. 131, 132
“The church board has
a number of important
responsibilities, but its
chief concern is the
work of planning and
fostering evangelism.

125. Church Manual p. 131, 132
“Because evangelismis the
primary work of the church, the
first itemon the agenda of
each church board meeting is to
relate directly to the
evangelizationof the
missionary territory of the
church.”

126. Church Manual p. 131, 132
“Once each quarter of
the year the entire
church board meeting
can well be devoted to
plans for evangelism.”

127. Churches Grow
when:

128. There is a rediscovery
of the primacy of
evangelism by pastors,
administrators, lay
people and youth within
the Adventist church
today.

129. Churches Grow
When:
•The calendar year is
organized around specific
reaping events
•There is an evangelistic
calendar

131. God promises to
grant a harvest
through biblical
preaching and
public evangelism.

132. STEP OUT
OF YOUR
COMFORT
ZONE!

134. Expect Miracles!
They will happen
as you step out in
faith!

136. Matthew 24:14
“And this gospel of the
kingdom will be
preached in all the
world as a witness to all
the nations, and then
the end will come.”

137. Once people have
heard and accepted
Christ and the ‘Three
Angel’s Message’
and been baptised
they need the 5
th
key.

138. KEY # 5
NURTURE AND
FOLLOW-UP

139. Churches grow
when new
converts are
nurtured and
taught to witness.

140. Whena new
convert is baptized
they are infants in
the faith.

141. Growing churches
nurture their
(infants) new
believers.

142. Follow-up of the
interest generated by
public evangelism is
an ongoing part of
the church’s
effective outreach.

143. Evangelism, p. 345
“When men and women
accept the truth, we are
not to go away and leave
them and have no further
burden for them. They
are to be looked after.”

144. They need nurture,
love and care if
they are to become
mature Christians.

145. Growing churches
are not only
concerned about
baptizing converts
they are concerned
about keeping them.

seeking to
understand where
they could use their
gifts in witness?

149. What if on multiple
nights of the week a
variety of training
classes were being
conducted to equip
church members for
service?

150. What would happen if
there were broad-based
community outreach
