A new evangelism question?

One of the most exciting things about new churches is the potential they have to reach people who don't know Jesus personally yet.

Below is one suggestion for a fresh approach in evangelism. If God's given you other ways that spark authentic and relevent conversations about the Gospel, share them with us in the "Comments."

from "An Efficient Gospel" blog entry at http://christianvisionproject.com/2008/02/an_efficient_gospel.html


People are not asking the traditional gospel question much anymore. Asking, "If I died tomorrow, where would I end up?" does not generate much life. But asking people, "If you had just a few years left, what kind of life would you want to live?" generates enormous energy. It is a question of hope, something our balkanized world sorely needs. And perhaps not surprisingly, Jesus has a response to those who are asking such a question and on just such a quest. To them he says, "Wake up." "The kingdom of God is at hand." "Come, follow me."
