Relational Evangelism Strategies for Calvary Baptist Church, Greenwood, Indiana

Abstract

This project challenged the street canvasing method of evangelism. It arguedthat rapport should be built before sharing the gospel. Rapport building techniques were identified then compared to twelve autobiographies of converts to determine if the rapport-building techniques were present during the conversion process. The analysis showed that love, scripture, sincerity of prayer, and the Holy Spirit were the dominant forces that brought converts to Christ.
