Evangelism is dead or nearly dead in most churches. Thom and Sam discuss why this sad situation developed, and what your church can do to see evangelism renewed among the members.

Conversion growth is woefully lacking in most churches.

A culture shift is needed to reignite the church in evangelism.

The pastor must lead by example and priority.

Many church turnarounds have taken place with a few people in the church.

Your small groups are a great conduit for evangelistic renewal.
