Personal evangelism is often one of the believers greatest fears. Few believers have ever led another person to faith in Christ. Most Christians are not sure of where to begin a salvation conversation.

A recent article from Outreach Magazine was entitled “Warning: Churches talk about everything but Evangelism.” The opening quote was by Thom Rainer: “Many church leaders and church members, as well as denominational leaders, do not talk about the anemic evangelism in their churches. Some have evangelistic amnesia.” So, my question is “Where has evangelism gone?”

Most pastors have limited time to truly invest in their leadership team or developing new leaders. One of the ways I learned to build a leadership team is to provide periodic training opportunities from resources beyond myself. Providing a workshops is a great tool for a local pastor to invest in their leaders and potential leaders.

Every now and then it is a good idea to go back to the basics and/or essentials.  BBM has been a ministry based on balancing the essentials for effective ministry.
