Every church—regardless of size, age, or context—needs an evangelistic plan.
Every church needs a plan for evangelism. Without one, efforts remain scattered, leaving members unprepared and churches inwardly focused. The Gameplan for Evangelism equips pastors with a clear, intentional, and comprehensive strategy that mobilizes every member to live daily on mission. Like a coach preparing a team, this tool unites your church around a shared vision, training and sending members to impact their families, communities, and the world with the gospel. It transforms evangelism from a random event into the heartbeat of your ministry—simple, intentional, and woven into the DNA of your church.
Complemented with prayer and training, your leaders and members will be ready to pursue the fulfillment of the Great Commission.
Introduction
Start here to make the most of this resource so you can move the needle on New Testament evangelism right there in your local church.
The Sunday Morning Experience
Creating an evangelistic environment for the Sunday morning experience and engaging your groups in outreach.
Evangelism occurs as we get the gospel to people but also as we get people to the gospel. This opportunity is present every week through your Sunday worship experience. Evangelistic leaders understand this and take great pains to elevate the Sunday worship experience, and by engaging their groups in outreach. Discover how in this session.
Team Evangelism
You have teams already in your church in the form of groups. There are multiple ways to leverage existing groups to mobilize your members and attenders for evangelism. Sometimes, special teams are formed just for this purpose.
Regardless, the unified efforts of the many can be so much more powerful than one or two. Learn how to make the most of teams for evangelism in this session.
Service and Ministry Evangelism
Serving the community can offer the best engagement for gospel conversations. In this session, learn how to make the most of existing community ministry, or how to create opportunities to make a gospel impact while meeting felt needs.
Reaching Every Home
Getting the gospel to every home in your mission field.
God has given your church a mission field and a commission to get the gospel to all. How do you determine your mission field and is it possible to get the gospel to every home that God has placed in your region? It can be done and you will discover ways to do so as you learn to engage with “every” home.
Engaging Everyone in Evangelistic Prayer
This session covers how to utilize prayer to propel evangelism in your church.
Did you know that there is a direct correlation between praying for the lost and the number of people that your church will see come to faith in the next year? How do you engage your congregation in praying, not just for those who are sick or in crisis, but those who need their hearts softened to the gospel of Jesus Christ?
Engaging Members in Personal Evangelism
Multiplying evangelism by equipping members to share their faith.
Evangelistic pastors do not train their members in all twelve months of the year to share their faith. But, they do not let twelve months go by without equipping them. How do you model personal evangelism and how do you train your members, both the congregation and the core? Discover more in this session.
Overcoming Barriers to Evangelism
In this session we talk about tackling what stops evangelism from happening. Some are barriers that go unexamined. Others are obvious. Regardless, we tackle the ones relevant to most any church.
Event Evangelism
How to make events and ministry opportunities evangelistic.
Some people will not come to church on Sunday. But they will go to a barbecue, a golf outing, a men’s or women’s event, a student event, etc. However, simply planning and hosting an event does not make it evangelistic. But every event can be. You will learn how in this session on engaging evangelistic events.
Maximizing Baptisms
Baptism is a big deal. But it can be a challenge to get some to take that next step.
This session covers how you can bring people more effectively to the place of willingly declaring their faith to the world by being biblically baptized.
