EVANGELISM- tools for proclaiming

EVANGELISTIC  METHODS  Use the “4 Spiritual Laws”. This example uses the traditional format, but contextualizes the content.  Retell a Gospel story of Jesus healing shame, such as Mark 5 (the demon-possessed man, dead girl, and bleeding women) or Luke 15 (the Prodigal Son).  Study the Bible focusing on HonorShame, in either salvation history or the life of Jesus. EVANGELISTIC TOOLS BY OTHERS  “Broken Diagrams” by InterVarsity – diagrams presenting the the gospel in a way that makes sense to relationship oriented people.   “The Father’s Love” by Werner Mischke – a booklet with drawings and questions based on the Prodigal Son.  For Chinese contexts, “Theology From a Box” by Jackson Wu – a 20 pg article explaining the diagram.
