Developing Personal Witnesses at Mustard Seed Church in Paterson, New Jersey

Abstract

This project aimed to develop adult volunteers into personal witnesses at Mustard Seed Church in Paterson, New Jersey. Chapter 1 describes the context, rationale, purpose, goals, research methodology, pertinent definitions, limitations, and delimitations of the project. Chapter 2 exegetes four biblical texts to demonstrate that the Bible teaches that Christians are to be personal witnesses who proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ. Chapter 3 discusses the theoretical, practical, and historical issues that are related to being a personal witness and establishes that personal witnesses should aim to overcome spiritual, cultural, intellectual, religious, and relational barriers to personal evangelism. Chapter 4 provides project details and describes the preparation and implementation of the project. Chapter 5 examines and evaluates the entire project and supplies theological and personal reflections.
