Nine Reasons Christians Fail to Evangelize

Nine Reasons Christians Fail to Evangelize

1. Many don’t know what “evangelism” is.
2. We have few evangelistic role models.
3. Some church members aren’t convinced about lostness.
4. Some churches have provided no evangelism training.
5. Fear of the unknown halts our efforts.
6. We’ve “gotten over” our salvation.
7. Pastors aren’t taking the lead in evangelism.
8. We don’t really know many lost people anyway.
9. We don’t care about non-believers.

Some highlights from today’s Rainer Report:

• Too many church members aren’t concerned for the lostness around them.
• A lot of churches eliminated evangelism programs due to lack of interest, but didn’t replace them with anything.
• We need to be more intentional about evangelism training in our churches.
• Pastor, if your church is not evangelistic, look first in the mirror.
