Welcome to the Evangelism Library where you will find training and tools to help you be effective in sharing your faith in Christ. However, sharing Jesus is not about tools and methods; it's not about church visitation and programs; it's about that fact that you have been with Jesus and you are "unable to stop speaking the things which you have seen and heard" (Acts 4:20). When Moses came down from the mountain, having been with God, his face shined. This was the result of having been in God's presence. When a believer's heart is full to the brim with God's life and love, an overflow is inevitable. Sharing Jesus is simply the natural overflow of loving and walking with Him, but many times we make sharing Jesus much harder than it really it. The tips and tools you will find in this library are simple and easy and aimed at helping you to have confidence in sharing the good news with others.
Overflow Training Manual
The "Overflow" book contains four parts:
- Sharing Jesus--explains how to share your salvation story and the Plan of Salvation with special explanations on how to share with children.
- Making Home Visits--explains the basics of visiting in people's homes as well as the different kinds of visits one can make: evangelistic visits, Sunday School visits, ministry visits, church-strengthening visits, and hospital visits although these technically aren't a "home" visit.
- Sharing in the Decision Room--shows details about how a person can help share Jesus during church events and includes special chapters on dealing with assurance of salvation and explaining baptism to a child.
- Weekly Thoughts--includes twenty stories and key verses upon which a person can reflect for the purpose of stirring people with a passion for lost souls.
