Here are useful tools to share Christ with the lost
|
Jules Miller DVD: was a filmstrip that has converted many in the years. It has a timeline of the Old Testament to the New Testament, finally concluding with Christ, Salvation and His church. Expensive but worth the cost, for a priceless soul, that can be won, when inviting someone to see this DVD with you.
World Video Bible School has shorter and cheaper (then above) DVD material on salvation, the church, Bible authority. Clean cut and polished presentations you can watch with a friend or family member. Johnie Edwards "Home Bible Study" booklets are short and easy to use, and can be used to save and ground. Great conversion tool. See the page, "New Convert" to learn how to teach this in grounding AND in saving the lost. Bobby Bate's "Back to the Bible" booklets are simple to use and easy to teach. Can add some scripture to certain topic's like Bible authority. The content gives you such study flexibility and is broken down into parts for short or long studies. The content is good for all levels from Kids-adults. Even people with poor mental or educational issues, can find this booklet helpful. IN this regard, though the "Home Bible Study" booklet is more in-depth, this resource is good in dealing with people who may not handle the above material well. |

Also, Ricky shared his evangelism materials at the gospel meeting. He said when I asked him back then, that I could share such material if it would glorify God. Full source credit of materials and audio resources goes to Ricky Shanks.

Brent Hunter
Brent Hunter's written Bible based evangelism "reproduction" plan. "Be Fruitful and Multiply."
If followed as a lifestyle practice, teaching Christians and the converted to convert, with the principles of "Be Fruitful and Multiple," in the worksheet of the Bible standards in "Keys to Kingdom Growth," the NT pattern of successful soul saving will become a reality.

Concepts for church growth handout
The concepts of church growth needs to be regularly taught, led in practice daily and actively promoted in the Lord's body. Many of the churches are lacking in these qualities. Many congregations are dying out due to neglecting these NT principles. This must change in the kingdom!
