If you are a person of Faith striving to be a good Christian disciple and have wondered how to reach an increasingly apathetic, skeptical, even hostile culture, this Toolkit is for you. The Toolkit for Evangelization is easy-to-use and an essential foundational tool for all Christians seeking to engage contemporary men and women. First, it teaches fundamental truths about our human existence that can easily be known by anyone through simple reason and experience. These truths are common to all human beings and undergird who we are, from whence we came and where we are going. Rather than starting our conversations from the "top" (with belief in God, Sacred Scripture and Tradition), it is necessary to first find common ground: what we can all know from reason and experience. In this way, we begin by building a bridge between unbelief and Faith. The Toolkit then deepens the missionary's engagement with these truths through individual and group exercises, and then provides tools for missionary engagement with the world. By engaging the people of our culture in conversations that target these fundamental realities, engaging them where they are at, we have a better chance of leading them to a joy-filled life of Faith in Jesus Christ.

Why Plan Strategy? Is church growth theory incompatible with belief in the sovereignty of God? Does adherence to church growth principles leave out dependency upon the work of the Holy Spirit? C. Peter Wagner answers no to both questions. He further believes that no task could be more crucial than fulfilling the Great Commission in our generation, and how to approach and plan for the execution of this task is the questions of the day. Strategies for Church Growth addresses this key issue in a biblically pragmatic way. It brings together for the first time many principles of evangelism and missions which have proved, through recent research and experience, to be effective in implementing the Great Commission. It also unifies, in concise form, the latest research of the Church Growth Movement, the Lausanne Committee on World Evangelization, the U.S. Center for World Mission and numerous other key contributors to the recent explosion of evangelistic technology. Among the topics explored are: - the major components of strategy - choosing the appropriate strategy - advantages of having a strategy - the theology of church growth - the harvest principle and soil testing - why you should aim for church growth - characteristics of good goals - the meaning of mission and evangelism - how to target your outreach

In Rebuilding Your Message, the award-winning authors now share their carefully honed communication practices to help priests, staff, volunteers, and parishioners better proclaim the irresistible and life-changing Gospel of Jesus Christ at every level.

White and Corcoran believe that every parishioner should be engaged in communicating the Good News of Jesus Christ. The authors push Catholics beyond the status quo with practical help for creating a welcoming church, practicing homilies, and preparing lessons, as well as more complex strategies such as developing a message series that connects all forms of communication to both the liturgical year and the seasons of the local community.

The Method Has Changed, the Message Has Not. After twelve years of ministering to students on public campuses, Brian Barcelona's world turned upside down when public schools shut down in March 2020.

With passion and humility, Brian shares the incredible story of how God helped him go from reaching thousands of students locally to preaching to over five million globally each month. He gives practical tips and best practices from his and others' experiences on how you, too, can instantly reach more people than you ever thought possible, leading others in salvation, healing, deliverance and even baptisms digitally!
