evangelism (30781 bytes) Becoming effective in sharing the Gospel in multi-cultural communities takes time. Here are some effective ways that we have found to share the Gospel. No matter what method you use be sensitive to God's leading as you seek to follow the flow of this outline:

A ssociate with non-Christians
B efriend non-Christians
C reate an interest in the Gospel
D eclare the Gospel
E ncourage a response
F ollow-up new believers

Creating an interest in the Gospel

Tell a person that you have something in their language. JESUS video (7408 bytes)
"Here is a video in your language that I thought you might enjoy watching".

After they have watched it ask:

"Have had much to do with Christian things? What did you think about that?"

"What is your purpose in life?"

"What do you think God is like?"

"What role does religion have in your life?"

"Have your thoughts about religion changed any since coming to this country?"

"Why did you come to this country? Has it met your expectations?"The JESUS video is available in over 90 languages in Australia (and over 500 languages worldwide). You can get copies for $6 to $8 in Australia.

Share the story of how you became a Christian. Taking time to write out your personal testimony will help you be more effective in communicating.

Ask questions about spiritual things. People in many cultures are far more eager to talk about God than we are. Here are some questions you might try:

"Have had much to do with Christian things? What did you think about that?"

"What is your purpose in life?"

"What do you think God is like?"

"What role does religion have in your life?"

"Have your thoughts about religion changed any since coming to this country?"

"Why did you come to this country? Has it met your expectations?"

Invite them to a church event

Tell them a story that has a spirtual application

Pray for them -- ask someone to join you in prayer.

The next step is to declare the Gospel

Tell us about your experiences in creating an interest in the Gospel
What have you tried? What has worked well for you?
What types of people do you think this approach would best work with?
