May 09, 2022 Equipping Evangelism & Disciple Making
Dr. Kenneth Priest has the learning and the burning to equip churches to get revitalized and stay that way.
In this episode we deal with the final two things we believe are crucial to revitalized churches who are healthy and stay healthy.

How do we equip (Eph 4:11-12) for evangelism and disciple making? We give a few ideas here.
Kenneth presently serves as the transitional pastor of Valley Isle Church in Wailuku, Hawaii.

He is a graduate of Southwestern and Midwestern Seminaries. He has 20 plus years of ministry experience.
Mostly, he cares about people apart from Jesus Christ and how the local church reaches these people.

This is the equipping content we mentioned in the episode. Write out your outline. Use words or at the most phrases that describe your life at these stages.
It is easier, and clearer if you do it this way. Once you have the outline, you will be able to then write out Your Story. Keep it to one page, 3 minutes.

7 non-negotiables for church revitalization and continual renewal
1) Culture of prayer
2) Expectancy of God to move
3) Worship geared for evangelism
4) Follow-up strategy for all church activities; worship & events
5) Community outreach
6) Congregation equipped for evangelism
7) Congregation equipped for NT disciple making

and as I thought of this which would be another topic, we should have included expository preaching in the list. It could be added in #1 prayer, from the Acts 6:4 kind of thinking.

May 02, 2022 Stoking Up Evangelism with Dr. Matt Queen (pt. 2)
This is part one of a two-part series on reaching people for Christ with Dr. Matt Queen. Dr. Queen is a Professor of Evangelism at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas, ([email protected]).

Dr. Queen's 4 things on how a pastor can lead the church to be evangelistic:

1. Repent as a congregation. Lead your people to repent and to see that we are supposed to be sharing the gospel. And we’re not.
2. The Pastor must recognize his role as being a primary mobilizer. The pastor doesn’t have to be the main soul winner. but the pastor cannot be disconnected from the evangelistic the drive of the church.
3. Celebrate evangelism results. Churches celebrate many things. We need to celebrate actually sharing the gospel. Of course results like professions of faith and baptisms. What is priority will be celebrated.
4. Celebrate the sowing of the the gospel itself apart from results. Sharing the gospel is the win. Results are God‘s business.
