Evangelism Made Simple! How to Reach Lost Souls
Is there anything more important than sharing the love of Jesus Christ with others? Simply the answer is "No ." Sharing the love of Jesus is the Christian apex (highest priority). The Christian apex states that placing a jewel in the crown of the Savior is the biggest reward for Jesus's sacrifice!
If evangelism is needed in a lost world, why do we hesitate as Christians? Naturally, we are all social beings who thrive on sharing positive experiences with others. However, when it comes to Jesus, we shy away from talking about our good experiences with the Lord to the world. Thankfully, at Harvest Church, we have been blessed to "Lift Up, Train Up, and Send Out" evangelists of all ages to preach the goodness of the Lord locally in Paterson, NJ.
At Harvest Church, all church members were blessed with an opportunity to receive evangelism training from Ms. Debra George, a soul winner in Christ who has saved many souls globally! At Harvest Church, we're all about sharing and spreading the love, so explore our guide on How to Reach Lost Souls from the training provided by Debra George!
Step 1: To be a Soul Winner You Must be Born Again!
To be "Born Again" is to experience renewal and spiritual birth with Jesus. If you are going to be a part of God's family, you have to acknowledge His son. Taking steps to be "Born Again" is accepting the Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. Once you recognize the work of Jesus and His sacrifice and open up your spirit to love Him and encounter His goodness, transformation occurs as the Blood renews you. So step 1 is opening up your soul and heart to Jesus Christ to receive him. You can't hit the streets without proclaiming yourself as a Child of God, so rebirth and renewal are necessary!
Biblical Support for a Rebirth:
Romans 10:9-10 - That if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.
2 Corinthians 5:17 - Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.
Prayer Rebirth:
Jesus, forgive me. Come into my heart, save me, Amen.
Once you read the scriptures and declared renewal you are now a child of God!
Now that you're renewed, it could be time to hit the streets! You can't hide the goodness of God's grace all to yourself now. Before you go out and save souls, hit the break to read the steps on How to Reach The Lost Souls.

“Jesus, forgive me. Come into my Heart, Save me, Amen.”

Short, Sweet to the Point and a Powerful Message on Salvation & Love!
Biblical Scripture For Evangelism:
John 3:16 : For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Step 4 : Gather Information to Be Consistent on the Saved Soul!
An exchange of name and number is sufficient for evangelism. Keep in touch with the person and take notes on what their prayer was about and what they needed. When evangelizing, a church flyer should be given and a token of support/thank you, whether it's a toothbrush, hat, sock, candy, food, etc. The soul must know how to connect with you and the congregation before you leave.
Step 5: Have a Good Time God is Smiling at You!
Remember you are doing the Lord's work, and be humbled. God chose you to evangelize and spread His message. When people see the Lord's love and your authenticity, the people will gravitate and listen to the message. God applauds your discipleship as His child.
Matthew 28:19-20: “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
