Are you and your church up to the task of evangelism?
Churches are not evangelizing well and have lost sight of their primary purpose. While most pastors believe they should do outreach and evangelism, they feel their church will not want to participate.
Your church may be failing to…
❌ Evangelize regularly
❌ Uphold a growth strategy that involves the whole church
❌ Look like the neighborhood or city that it’s in
❌ Regularly go on prayer walks
❌ Reach the people new to your community
❌ Maintain a consistent outreach emphasis
The church and its leaders need hope, not guilt.
Churches aren’t evangelizing because Christians sense little urgency to reach the lost. Many churches struggle to maintain regular evangelism efforts because the task can feel like a stale obligation.
Your members need hope-filled inspiration, not guilt-ridden guidance!

This whole experience has opened my eyes to the works of evangelism. We have more to do as Christians than just be a follower. We are supposed to help reach people in our own Jerusalem that we walk with through every day at work, school, or in life.
