My evangelism books:

If you don't like reading, you can use one of my favorite business apps. Its a little expensive but worth it. The app reads PDF's, eBooks, documents, etc.
I'm always moving, and busy, so I prefer to listen while I am working, driving, etc. I am also audio more then visual, so this learning style is preferred.
​The company is called Speechify. I use this tool. I don't own it or have any affiliation with this company. I just wanted to share.

This book is titled:
​"Save a Church from Dying..."

The book is in PDF format and this book can also be purchased in physical form.

What this content will cover...
  • The numbers lost in the last 20 years
  • Youth leaving the church
  • Comparisons of the past and the present church attitudes
  • Numbers of churches that close each year
  • How many churches are left in the US​
  • Problems that cause decline
  • Solutions to fix dying churches
  • Examples of successful, growing evangelistic churches 
  • AND more...
The book is called "Save a Church from Dying," has detailed/updated material that will outline the past, and present states of the Lord's church and where the kingdom in America is heading, if things don't change. The book will give stats on kingdom decline. Churches may not be around... in the US, if things don't change. This book details why the kingdom is dying in America and how churches, can stop this crisis. If enough congregations change, and apply the Bible-based themes (written in this book) the culture in the Lord's church toward evangelism will change. If enough leaders, elders, preachers, and Christians act, the tide will turn, in matters of church decline.

Many ideas shared within this content are sad, I had tears in my eyes writing this material. But the final chapters of this book give well-thought-out solutions for healing the weak and dying churches in the US. This book is serious and sad but it also gives hope and encouragement. Most people in the brotherhood don't know the Lord's kingdom is dying out. They don't know about this pandemic. Get this book and share it with your church leaders, and share it with your Christian friends. Help get out the word. If enough people know about this crisis and act, things can change!

The final chapter gives uplifting examples of NT American churches that are leading the way in highlighting a Bible-based example of having the work and right mindset for zealous outreach. You'll find encouragement, motivation, and sound advice on ways of creating congregational growth, within this written work. I hope you'll check this book out. It's worth going over and reflecting on.

"The Authority of the Scriptures in the Church"

This free eBook is an advanced study.  I'd encourage you to first read my book (on this site) "Grounding Principles on Salvation, the Church/Bible Authority and Bible Study, (or a book of similar content) first.  That would be a good preparatory step.   

This book d
eals with important themes of Bible authority and the silence of the scriptures.   The topic's that will be mentioned, (some more lengthy then others) are as follows... 
​
  • What is the New Testament church.  Does it matter how we worship God?  Does it matter how the church functions? 
  • Is it scriptural to have a church building?
  • Should we pay the preacher?
  • What is the difference in the Bible between "aides" and "additions."
  • What is Bible authority?   How do we know how to follow it?
  • What are Elders and Deacons?
  • Is a individual person the church?
  • How are we to use church funds?
  • What is church autonomy?
  • Why do we listen to the Apostles and follow their example?
  • The roles of the church and the Christian.  How they differ.
  • ​Are we still under the Old Law?

The last and final book I have written shows the role of each person as a child of God to mentor others into the soul winners our heavenly Father has called us all to be.  This material is free and it is thorough. All my previous books combined would not add up to this written work. But you will (if you apply the Bible concepts) be transformed by the teachings of the Word that are outlined within this material.

Many concepts are rarely discussed. But are God-oriented in the foundational teachings of the Word. When you read the Bible patterns shared within these lessons you'll study how Jesus called and mentored His disciples, you'll read of Paul's mentorship of Titus, Silas, Timothy, and Onesimus.
​
We will talk about spiritual reproduction that God calls us to do as our spiritual birthright and expectation as saved believers.
The exercises are in-depth, and thoughtful, and will make you reflect. Many concepts are made with leadership and mentoring in mind. I'll be sharing how to do various evangelism events, training themes, and church growth/planting formats.

Discipleship for King Jesus

This is a workbook for personal use or for class use. The themes within this Bible based curriculum will help to equip God's people as mentors, leaders and evangelists.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The material will define Bible discipleship. Exploring spiritual discipleship/mentorship and the role of discipleship in the Great Commission. Give us insights on how to view the new convert. Show us how to raise up future evangelists and leaders. Detail why we were born to spiritually reproduce. Share the storyline of Jesus's evangelism work.
Highlight how we are to be “Leaders Who Make More Leaders.” 
 
​We'll have a whole chapter on the value of prayer (in evangelism work). It is an essential part of outreach.

This chapter will go over..
  • Part One: The Importance of Prayer in Jesus’ life.
  • Part Two: How Should we Pray? 
  • Part Three: Spiritual Warfare and Prayer 
  • Part Four: The Power of Faith
  • Part Five: Going to the Faith Gym 
  • Part Six: The Spiritual Need of Prayerful Fasting
The final chapter will share "How to Plant and Grow a Church."

The "Journal" is my game plan resource

I have listed sources that have helped me grow in evangelism. I detail examples and methods from faithful evangelists who are growing their churches. I record data to use for future work. I study successful churches and put down content that I think would be effective. This document is like a sports strategy book a coach will use for the big game. But this is for kingdom-growing work in the game of life.

​I encourage you to study the sources I have outlined. They are worth further study. :) You can use this document as an "idea book" to put more data in as you find more methods, examples, etc. for outreach work. This Journal is a strategy resource that can be used for soul-winning.

Access and download my free Bible study cards 

These cards can be downloaded and printed out.  The cards are attached, so you will need to use scissors to cut them apart.

Bible Memory Cards

These "Memory study cards," are downloadable files. They are post card size.  The cards will help you to learn how to deal with those who follow false doctrines and ideas. They can be used during evangelism events with your group. Or in one on one discussions.

These free resources to help you when you study with Islamists, Buddhists, Mormons, and JW's,
I made Bible bookmark cards to be used in evangelism when sharing Jesus with these different groups.
How it works, is you get their book, then use these cards to highlight points within their books that you can use when studying with them.

These cards take passages from the Koran, JW New World Bible, the Book of Mormon, and the scripts from Buddha and teach from their own books the truth of Jesus and the inspired Word. Their scriptures are not inspired but you can use them to prove Jesus and the Bible's authority.

These cards can also be used for marking up ones Bible for sharing the salvation story of Paul or the passages for salvations and church worship. You can have "sticky notes" as book markers to help with quick access.

For the Barnabas' in kingdom work....

A friend and sister in Christ, Deloris Little has created a collection of breathtaking cards. I wanted to share her beautiful craftmanship with you. 
We are called to encourage, exhort, help and support one another within the kingdom. We are here to bless the sick, the elderly, the hurting within our family. And to reach out to the lost. 

These cards are very thoughtfully created. Those who receive them will notice that. If you are the type of person who likes to write church visitors, new converts, etc. Check out this website and look over these cards. I personally am very impressed. The fact that I am mentioning this here speaks to that. Cards are a tool as much as a tract, book or video. I recommend looking over this tool for use. www.justbecausebecause.com

​B. Option Two to Consider:

Note: Dan Barker and Matt Maudlin are also promoting kingdom work and the importance of doing evangelism. He has a forum called "Leading Others to Christ." Dan and Matt interviews evangelists from around the US country. The podcasts and videos have soul winners share methods, success stories, Bible truths on the importance of soul saving and the need for it in this day and age. Like I said, there are other venues for promoting evangelism, then me. You can do things like make/run your own ads on social media or on a search engine. Or you can create a platform, blog, video, post, group, etc. Also you can help out other forums, like "Leading Others to Christ." This is another excellent platform to consider helping with donations. ​
