Natural Evangelism – Free Resource!

A substantial percentage of people in our churches feel consciously incompetent when it comes to personal evangelism. This in some way explains the popularity of out-the-box solutions like Alpha and similar programs. Its easier to push play on the DVD and allow some guru to do the work for you, you just get the people there right? Steve Ingram developed a course called ‘Mateship Evangelism’ to help his congregation realise that it can happen simply through natural relationships.

Looks like a worthwhile simple overview. My only criticism is to note that as is often the case in Christian circles, we cannot promote our own ideas or programs without putting down others. There is no need to take a cheap potshot at Alpha in the materials. Alpha is not meant to be a single solution — it is one more tool in the toolbox. It is effective and has its place. Extravagant love needs both to be for non-believers and our own brothers and sisters in Christ.
