Keys to Small Group Evangelism
The gospel spreads on the bridge of relationships.
There are two applications to this truth. One is to use the existing bridges to share the gospel. Encourage and equip your people to share the gospel with their friends. Pray for lost friends by name in your small group.
Create relationships between the people in your small group with people on the outside.
As Sam Chan says it:
But what we need to do is merge our universes. So when our Christian friends go to the movies, we invite our non-Christian friends along. Or when our non-Christian friends have a barbecue, we bring some of our Christian friends along. Bit by bit, our Christian friends will become friends with our non-Christian friends. We will have merged our universes. — Chan, Sam, and Ed Stetzer. 2020. How to Talk about Jesus (without Being That Guy): Personal Evangelism in a Skeptical World. Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan.
