Personal Evangelism

Abstract

In this practical and motivational presentation, Pastor David Witte explores the concept and necessity of personal evangelism within the Christian life. He clarifies misconceptions about evangelism, emphasizing that it is not merely church-related activities but the direct sharing of the Gospel with individuals. Witte identifies common barriers—fear, uncertainty, and lack of training—and offers scriptural encouragement and practical solutions, including the use of the “Talk About the Savior” (TAS) manual. He argues that personal evangelism is the most effective method for spreading faith, especially in light of the vast unchurched population. The blessings of evangelism include eternal life for the hearer, personal joy for the evangelist, and growth in congregational life. Witte concludes with a call to action: Christians must train themselves and begin sharing their faith now, trusting in God’s promises and power.
