Guide to Personal Evangelism

All Christians are called to evangelism, but few actually share their faith. There are a number of reasons for that, but we believe one of the reasons is that people simply think about evangelism in the wrong way.

Many people think it means you have to go up to a stranger with a pamphlet in their hand and ask them what they think about God or what will happen to them when they die. Sure, for some people that blunt-instrument approach may work, but for most people it’s awkward and intimidating. That’s why Indigitous asked attorney and author Anna Rapa to share about a more relational approach to introducing people to Jesus.

Anna shares a four-part video series on a more personal kind of evangelism. Watch these and put the personal evangelism into practice.


How To Introduce People To Jesus (And How Not To)

“Imagine what it would be like if you’re at a dinner party … and you have this really great friend that you loved that you were going to introduce to this other really great friend that you loved,” Anna says. 

In this video, Anna Rapa shares how to introduce someone to Jesus just as naturally as you would introduce your great friend.


Pray God’s Blessings On Others

If you’re trying to lead another person to Christ, one of the most important things you can do is pray for them. We all know prayer is a good thing and that the Bible encourages it, but what are specific ways that you can pray for someone you want to reach? 

In this video, Anna Rapa shares specific ways that you can pray for those you want to know Jesus.


Three Barriers to Faith

Have you ever known people who you wanted to have a relationship with Christ but they just didn’t seem open to a spiritual discussion? There are a number of barriers to faith that can be responsible.

If you don’t understand which barrier is affecting someone, you can approach a spiritual conversation the wrong way, make an unconvincing argument, or just not speak to that person in a meaningful way. 

In this video, Anna Rapa shares what she sees as the three barriers to faith.


How to Share Your Faith Through Story

A good story is one of the best ways to deal with the emotional barriers some people may have to faith.

In this video, Anna Rapa shares three important aspects of a good message as well as how you can effectively tell your own faith story as well as the story of the Gospel.
