Equipping Personal Evangelists Through a Discipleship Group Model at Green Street Baptist Church High Point, North Carolina

Abstract

This project taught the biblical, theological, and practical basis of how to equip believers to be personal evangelists using a small group model at Green Street Baptist Church in High Point, North Carolina. Chapter 1 describes the purpose, goals, rationale, and research methodology for the project. Chapter 2 exegetes one Old Testament text and three texts from the book of Acts to prove that the normal life of a believer is a life of witness. Chapter 3 discusses the theoretical and practical way in which Jesus trained men and how the church must use Jesus' model for discipling people in order to see growth and change. Chapter 4 outlines the process giving the Evangelistic practices survey to the Connection classes, tabulating the results, preparing and presenting the evangelism training and leading the trainees out for the evangelistic opportunities. Chapter 5 evaluates the project as a whole. The purpose and goals of the project are examined and personal and biblical reflections are offered.
