3 STEPS
Three Steps in Personal Evangelism
The Global Outreach Day is a great way to encourage people to start sharing their faith.
Steve Douglass, Campus Crusade for Christ
Many churches and missionary organizations are working together to reach the people in our world, but on
this one special day the focus is not on any church or
ministry it is on the gospel of Jesus Christ!
About 97% of all evangelical Christians (nearly) never share the Gospel. The G.O.D. is a great help and
challenge for ordinary believers to become and stay
active.
As ambassadors of Christ, you need to know the message and how to communicate it.
The communication structure you will find in Step 1:
1. Gods Plan
3. Gods Love
2. The Problem
4. The Decision
How To Communicate
1. Get the persons attention
First of all, it is important to get the persons attention.
Without that you will only be wasting your words and
energy. Sometimes getting a persons attention requires
courage and creativity.
2. Build interest
Once you have someones attention, the next step is to
arouse interest. By asking the right questions and offering appropriate information you can increase peoples
curiosity. When you realize they are curious, you can
build on this by continuing to ask questions. Dont answer their curiosity with short, pat answers. Instead, let
their interest grow and their curiosity intensify. By asking questions, you are leading the conversation and can
eventually lead the person to Jesus.
You definitely will not stimulate interest by talking nonstop. God gave you one mouth and two ears. That means
you should listen twice as much as you talk. Interest becomes evident when people begin to open their hearts
and share their own stories. During that time, be quiet,
listen, and pray silently for the right response.
Your testimony
Your story is very important! You can tell it in a boring or
a very interesting way. Maybe your past is not as interesting as your present or a certain part of your life. You
could also share examples of how God healed you, answered your prayers or has helped you.

1. Gods Plan
God created people with a wonderful plan in mind: to
live in fellowship with him. At the time of creation, everything in the world was in order. There was no war, no
injustice, no sickness, and no sin. Man lived in harmony
with his creator in paradise.
God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.
Genesis 1:31
Gods Plan for the person you are going to talk to is the
best that he or she can ever have.

2. The Problem
Man separated himself from his creator and decided to
go his own way. Today we see the consequences of that
decision: Instead of living in peace and harmony with
each other, we live in hatred, jealously, sickness, and war.
But more frightening than all those tragedies is our eternal separation from God.
Jesus made it clear that we human beings could never
bridge the gap to God by our own efforts we can never
live up to Gods requirements, and that is why we are in
such a dilemma.
There is no one righteous, not even one. For all have
sinned, and fall short of the glory of God.
Romans 3:10,23
3. Gods Love
God is just and holy, and yet he loves us eternally. That
is why he took the punishment that judgment would
rightly bring on every individual and laid it on his own
Son. Jesus paid for our sin on the cross.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and
only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish,
but have eternal life.
John 3:16
