Evangelism and the A.R.T.S.
Session 28
What is Evangelism?
It is not just getting people across the finishing
line. It is enabling folk to find their way from no awareness of God through to
some awareness of God. It may be helping someone who has a belief in God to
consider the claims of Christ. Crossing the finishing line is one part of a
process.
