Have you ever wondered how the early church reached out to the masses and infiltrated the entire globe, without a single microphone, a loud speaker, bill boards, vehicles, mega halls, stadia, amphitheatre, television adverts and shows?Jesus made a fervent prayer request Matthew 9:37-38, "the harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest". There has always been a crucial need for more harvesters in the harvest, therefore, there is absolute need to admonish, educate and equip soul winners for the kingdom. This book is a profound study on Biblical evangelism, it's mandate, unveiling challenging realities encountered in the evangelistic field and proposing Scripture inspired strategies in order to urge, prepare and arm Kingdom Harvesters for the great commission. Evangelism which is spiritual outreach is the act of sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ. Apostle Joshua Selman defines Evangelism as deploying any and every scriptural strategy that enthrones Christ in the heart of men. Evangelism therefore has three main parties involved, the teller, the message and the hearer and they will be explored critically in this book. This book has four major parts:The first part focuses on the Evangelistic Mandate; the mission/ assignment, the challenges, the message and post-evangelism (chapter 1, 2, 3 and 4). The second part focuses on the Evangelistic Field; exploring the different Soil categories, reactions and resistances incurred from different world-views and apologetic approaches to different world-views (chapter 5). The third part discusses Evangelistic Tools; explaining presentation approaches, strategies and styles in passing the gospel message, vital communication tools, current statistics for global evangelism with systematic approaches for a more effective outreach and finally questions concerning the gospel (chapter 6, 7 and 8). The bone of conjunction is this, there is a great depth of wisdom to grasp from the evangelistic energy and strategy of our founding fathers. This is the ultimate grail carrying this book, unleashing the ultimate mandate, method and tools of Evangelism as portrayed in Scripture.
