Book excerpt: Principles and methods for effectively launching a seeker small group.Best-selling author and evangelism expert Lee Strobel describes seeker small groups as “One of the most powerful and effective tools in evangelism.” A seeker small group is facilitated by a Christian leader, but group members are seekers—non-Christians investigating Christianity. The group provides a safe context for seekers and believers to ask questions and dialogue about faith.This highly transferable model can be implemented by all kinds of ministries with a wide range of evangelistic styles and strategies. As believers complete evangelism courses such as Becoming a Contagious Christian, they are motivated to reach out to others but often feel they lack opportunities to interact with non-Christians. Seeker Small Groups is the missing evangelism tool churches need to fill the gap between evangelism training and real-life opportunities for engaging seekers in life-changing spiritual discussions.The book presents a detailed, step-by-step process for launching seeker small groups strategy in a wide variety of settings. The groups are for seekers whether or not they are attending church. Numerous stories and illustrations provide inspiration and encouragement so readers are not only equipped but also motivated to launch their own seeker groups.

Book excerpt: Evangelism is a word that strikes fear in the hearts of even the most faithful Christians. Though believers realize their responsibility to connect others to Christ, many feel intimidated by the task. A plethora of programs and processes have been developed to aid believers in evangelism; however, these can often feel impersonal, inauthentic, or awkward. In frustration, many believers have given up hope of ever feeling adequate to share their faith with others. What if evangelism was not meant to be a process? What if it was never intended to be boiled down to step-by-step programs or processes? What if introducing others to Jesus is actually as easy as sharing life with others and having a few intentional conversations? Through this book, readers will learn an approach to evangelism that leverages relationality while minimizing much of the anxiety that accompanies sharing ones faith. Rather than a new approach, this simple, straight-forward perspective is a return to the evangelism modeled by the first believers. There are no flowcharts, presentations, or acronyms. All that is required is a reliance on the Holy Spirit, Gods Word, and a desire to cultivate and build intentional relationships for the sake of the gospel. The ultimate goal is to see every believer equipped, encouraged, and empowered to do his part to fulfill the Great Commission of Christ.

Download or read book Relational Way written by M. Scott Boren and published by Touch Publications. This book was released on 2007 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With all the excellent books on small group ministry on the market today, one would think the subject has been covered completely. However, the foundational basis for holistic small group ministry (a highly relational set of values) must be in place before holistic small group ministry will thrive. In this new release, Scott Boren does an excellent job dispelling the most common myths about small group ministry. What are the myths? Doing the right thing (a small group program) without consideration of the right way (the relational way) will produce community. Meeting in small groups is the central source of biblical community. Building a new small group ministry structure on top of old stories of church will transform a church and build community. Groups will succeed if they are built around a specific strategy, method, or model. Small group community is best fostered in a context whereby the group members focus solely on ministering to the needs of one another. Small groups can develop biblical community without an overt dependence upon the Holy Spirit. The small group/large group structure is all that is needed. Equipping that solely addresses 'right Christian thinking' will adequately prepare people for relational kingdom living and fruitful small group life. Weak leaders are the ones who require the most care, oversight and direction. Small groups will grow and multiply if they simply serve as a place to discuss the Bible and connect people in relationships. Each chapter delves into the missional truths about each issue with detailed views from theologians, psychologists, and Boren's own excellent biblical exegesis. If you've struggled with small groups in the past, this book has the answers you have not found in any other book we have published.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christian denominations generally have low growth rates and stagnant evangelistic programs. While churches struggle to evangelize new believers, evangelistic models that utilize small group methodology have shown various degrees of success. However, regardless of the methodology, utilizing small groups generally almost always leads to success. The Small Book on Small Group Evangelism seeks to define biblical principles of small groups that can help the reader introduce concepts that will help people grow their ministry numerically and/or personally in terms of their spiritual growth. John Sconiers provides a clear vision of utilizing evangelistic small groups as a tool to make an impact not only on believers but on non-believers and their communities. This work, The Small Book on Small Group Evangelism, started off with humble and simple beginnings. The original intent was to fulfill a small seminary project based on community evangelism and church growth. However, after performing minor research about small groups, there were several ideas and notions that intrigued John. Beginning with describing evangelism and the problems many churches are faced with, John then provides principles and strategies for successful small groups. The final section of the book offers an example framework that can be utilized in an evangelistic small group. Hopefully, the insights provided herein can assist you in developing strategic evangelistic programs based on the small groups evangelistic model presented. The Author's prayer is that not only will you apply this information to your ministry settings, but also it will allow you to improve growth rates and member participation. If your looking for insight on small group evangelism this book is for you! Don't hesitate to buy it now!

Download or read book SENT to Your Neighbors written by James Hall and published by . This book was released on 2012-12-14 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SENT! explains a "soft-sell" witness style to empower rank and file believers to influence toward Christ lost persons in their personal harvest fields. To these we are sent by the Sent One, Jesus! Why not go to work every day as a "missions trip" to reach lost people around you? See the waiting harvest in your neighborhood, job site, recreation and physical fitness venues, hair and nail salons, favorite coffee shops and restaurants, family get-togethers, etc. Include yourself when you pray for missionaries - since you too are sent by the Lord of the harvest to be a "friend of sinners" in your Jerusalem. This small book presents neighborly principles and practices that effectively witness in simple daily ways that are effective but often neglected. And that's not all! The bonus under this cover is a booklet called StartUp Studies - four short proven "milk of the Word" lessons for new believers to resource a mentoring relationship that you can provide for the spiritual "newborn" following their faith-commitment to Christ. Additional resources are referenced for long term mentoring for 6-12 additional months. Both curricula - along with mentoring - successfully produce grounded believers who are effective witnesses and disciplers. Good soil multiplies fruit! Remember, if we are not on mission, it is the lost who lose. If we are on mission, the found win!

Book excerpt: Today’s postmodern culture demands a fresh look at evangelical methodology. Models and procedures of the recent past have proved insufficient as the Church seeks to share Christ with a new generation of unbelievers. There is a need to return to a model of evangelism found in the first century; one that is first witnessed in the life of the Lord Jesus, the apostles, and the early Church—the biblical model of evangelism through relationship building. The purpose of this project is to facilitate relational evangelism at First Baptist Church, Lometa, Texas, by developing a curriculum for strategic relationship building.
