Christian Evangelism Ideas

Fun, Creative and Innovative Evangelistic Ideas for Expressing and Sharing your Faith.

Isn't it time for you to step out and have some FUN sharing your Faith.

Stop worrying about having to go "bug" your neighbors about "your religion" and start finding ways to "express" your Faith. Evangelism truly can be exciting and uplifting.

Seed Sowing and Everyday Evangelism - Ways to express your faith in your everyday lifestyle

1. Christian Apparel - nothing like a walking billboard for Jesus

2. Bumper Stickers and Vanity Plates - I know it's corny but I've heard the testimonies too.

3. Scriptures on your checks - Warning!! Don't use scripture checks if you're a check bouncer:)

4. The Fruit of the Spirit - Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Goodness, Kindness, Faithfulness, Meekness, Self-Control ... Doesn't the Bible say they shall know us by our Fruit?

5. Bible Tracts - Never leave home without them

6. Witness Pens - Everyone loves a free pen...give them to drive-thru Cashiers, store clerks, teachers....hand them out at malls, the DMV or anywhere you see a group standing around.

Individual Servant Evangelism

1. Volunteer - Get involved and always be ready to share the Joy of your Life

2. The Good Neighbor Policy - Always wave, say Hello, give your neighbors your phone number in case of emergency, share your cookies, cakes and pies and lawn tools - be available to help out your neighbors. After a bad Storm, my son (wearing his christian tshirt of course) organized the neighborhood kids and went yard to yard picking up sticks, downed tree limbs and trash from the Neighborhood.

3. Adopt the Senior Citizens in your neighborhood - be there to shovel snow, help with car repairs and housekeeping, stop in to chat, invite them to dinner and most of all pray for them

Holiday Evangelism

1. Send Christmas cards to random people from your phone book...add a few salvation scriptions

2. Make cards with salvation scriptures for nursing home residents.

3. Hand out Witness Pens to frazzled Cashiers..and don't forget to Smile and tell them you're praying for them.

4. Make little care bags of cookies..tie on a scripture message and hand out where ever you see a line.

5. Have your kids make special cards for "adopted" grandparents in nursing homes and stop by to visit.

6. Invite someone to dinner. Make it your mission not to let anyone have to spend the holidays alone.

It was a perfect morning, with slightly overcast sky, soft breeze off the lake and plenty of visitors on the street. There we were, my team of Wimpy Witnesses, scared and nervous but ready to complete our assignment from our King. Armed with tracts, witness pens, buttons and tiny Bible Teddies all neatly stuffed into the basket compartment of our rolling walker, Hug-O; we headed onto the street looking for friendly faces to offer our Free goods. We had prayed that Angels would go before us and prepare a path, and that morning it certainly appeared our prayers were answered. Little kids in strollers received Bible Teddies as their grateful parents accepted Free witness pens and Bible Tracts. The Streets were full of happy vacationers enjoying Virginia"s largest Festival. Tens of Thousands of new faces and hearts needing the Word of God. We rolled up and down Main Street until our ample supply of Free Seed (the Word of God) was depleted. Our task complete we headed home to Pray that God might send others to water the seed and finally that the Harvesters would come to bring Salvation to those who thought they were only visiting a little town on the Lake for a day of fun.

Stupid Halloween!

I use to HATE Halloween

I used to hate Halloween. As a Christian, I hated the whole idea of this Pagan holiday. Every year I would take special care to make sure my pets were safely locked in the house, in case some sicko weirdo decided to use them in some strange satanic ritual. Shades were drawn and lights turned out to discourage any celebrates from coming to MY door. Prayers were offered to protect little children and condemn those ignorant adults who would dare to inflict such evil on their own child. I thought God would be pleased to see me take such a stand against evil. Thank God! I finally woke up to see that Halloween is such a great opportunity for evangelism. What other time of year do people actually flock to my door? Children come for candy, neighbors are outside just waiting for someone to say a few nice words. You get to decorate you house with strange colored fruits and vegetables. It's the only time of year where it's perfectly acceptable to hang dried up corn stalks next to your front door. Now I stock up not only on bags of candy, but also Christian tracks and pens with Christian messages. I include a little witness card or "Jesus loves you" mini bears. Anything that will get the message out. If you're really adventurous you might try dressing up in a Bible Costume, going door to door and handing out your Bible tracks and Witness pens. You could even have the kids make their own tracks with simple messages like "Jesus loves you and I do too". One year we dressed up like farmers and handed out little pieces of paper with scripture verses. We were the Sower that sows the word. My young son had fun making his own "seedwords". Halloween doesn't seem so "Stupid" to me anymore it's becoming one of my favorite nights of the year and can be your favorite too. Open the shades, turn on the lights, say a few prayers and get out there, rejoice and share the joy of the Lord.

What is Tshirt Evangelism and Why Should I Care?

What is Tshirt Evangelism and Why Should I Care?: "What is T-shirt Evangelism and Why should I Care? by K.M. Kramer, The Wimpy Witness If you've been to a Mall or Public School lately, then you've seen T-shirt Evangelism in action. Unfortunately the message is not usually positive and rarely Christian. Tshirts promoting Demonic Music, Drugs and all manner of sin are common place. Even trashy sayings by happy bunnies for little children are seen spread across tshirts from Coast to Coast. Everyone seems to have an idea or opinion to express. Lately the only opinion that isn't allowed, is the one that expresses Faith in God. Even our own President is ridiculed for Praying. 'You are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read by all men' 2 Corinthians 3:2 Christian T-shirt Evangelism is our way of fighting back and fulfilling our mandate as 'living epistles read of men'. As a concerned Christian Mother recently emailed me about our Christian Happy Cat shirt: 'This is an awesome shirt. The kids around here are into that happy bunny that has those nasty sayings on it. It'd be so neat to have my daughter walking around with the happy kitty instead, besides she likes kitties, too' Even her young daughter can be a witness to her friends through a T-shirt. That's the great thing about Tshirt Evangelism. Everyone can be a part of spreading the Gospel. All it takes is a simple Tshirt. Now for the Why I should care: And He said to them, 'Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.' MarK 16:15 The reason you should care is that He cares. Jesus asked us to go and tell the world. Not everyone can take off and go to the Congo, but we can all do something. Throughout the bible, the word of God is called the Seed. We can all be seed sowers. Passing out tracts is sowing seed, having scripture on your checks is sowing seed and being a living billboard for Christ is sowing seed. The average Tshirt is read over three thousand times before ending up on the trash heap. That's alot of seed sown. What kind of T-shirt should I Wear? There has been a debate among Christians whether it is better to wear a shirt with Scripture or one without Scripture but with a provocative statement. That's something you need to decide for yourself. There are merits on both sides and the determining factor comes down to your personal style of evangelism. For the most part, I prefer having the scripture and here's why: "So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth: It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it." Isaiah 55:11 The Word of God is that Seed we spoke about earlier. If you want it to accomplish Gods purpose you need to use His seed. I also like the idea that the seed is being sown whether I stop to talk or share with someone or if I'm just passing by. If you're a Wimpy Witness like me, or just plain shy, this is a great way to start evangelizing. On the other hand, if you want to have a great conversation starter, and are more prepared to openly share the Gospel message, then a shirt without scripture but with powerful statement might just be right. The other advantage to this type of shirt is that whereas scripture shirts are often banned in public schools, these shirts are usually not. How to get started in Tshirt Evangelism 1. Pray, Pray, Pray! You cannot skip this step. Without prayer your seed will fall on fallow ground. 2. Find a Tshirt that fits your style and has a message you believe in. Over the past year this has been my hearts desire, to actually Be the Verse. Believe in what you say and Live It! Wearing a Christian Tshirt and acting like a heathen will not get you any "brownie points" in heaven any more then having scripture verses on your bounced checks. 3. Go Out and Sow some Seed. I love this idea from one of my recent customers. "When I go to the YMCA to work out (not nearly as much as I should...) I love to wear t-shirts with scripture/verses/pictures on the back, so when I'm on a machine, a seed may be planted to the folks behind me". Thanks Traci that is a great idea! Go ahead and get started. Be that "Living Epistle" and May God Richly Bless you as you go forth.

The Meaning of Life Postcard

My Super PostCard Idea Adventure:

Wow! Is this a great idea or What!

Today I ordered some FREE custom made postcards from Vistaprint. On the Front side I had them print: "The Meaning of Life in 25 Words or Less" then underneath I had them print out the verse of John 3:16. On the back , where you would normally put your return address, I had them print out the Web Address for this site and a short message with a prayer. The cards will be here in about three weeks. My son and me are planning on spending an afternoon addressing the cards to people we randomly pick from the phone book (of course we will pray first and ask God to get the cards where they need to go). We decided to not put our return address because we do not want to be the focus, we want God to get all the Glory and the focus to be on the message.

VistaPrint even has some postcard styles that would be great for little kids. What a great way to teach your child about sharing the Love of Jesus. Let them help you pick out names and addresses and also what to print on your personal postcards.

VistaPrint also has FREE Business Cards that you can design into Witness Cards. They always have some FREE Specials going on each month, so sign-up for their email list.

Be Blessed!

The Wimpy Witness Birthday Adventure

Every year my son, Billy and me go for an adventure for his Birthday. When Billy turned 13 our adventure took us to Virginia Beach VA. We had loaded up with tracts to leave in all the usual places, video arcades, the hotel room, fast food restaurants, etc. After a great day at the beach, we headed up the street to do some window shopping. All was well until we came upon what could only be described as a "biker bar". We both felt the nudge of the Spirit to go in but both of us also wanted to wimp-out, skip this place and find a nicer, quieter, cleaner place to witness. Finally we swallowed our fears, went in, and headed for the filthy restrooms. We left the last of our tracts and booked it out of there. Now I don't know what happened to those tracts, but I do know that God wanted them in that place. If you ask Billy about his 13th Birthday, it's the Biker Bar that he remembers most. We still pray for whomever received the tracts and hope that one day we will meet them in heaven. The moral is: Don't let fear stop you from receiving your blessing. Go Forth oh Wimpy One!
