We Can’t Make Disciples if the Gospel Isn’t Good News
As we consider a shift “from reaching Christians to making disciples,” church leaders and followers of Jesus can miss a vital step: knowing how the Gospel sounds like truly good
We have a problem! Evangelism has become a taboo word and confusion about evangelism has left the church with a lackluster approach to reaching the lost.
There is a solution! We must be about the mission of Jesus: “to seek and to save the lost” (Luke 19:10). That means we must revive evangelism. A church with a culture of evangelism will hold the Biblical values of evangelism, share the compelling narratives of evangelism, and live out the white-hot faith behaviors of an evangelistic church.

Is evangelism a lost cause? This is a question we will explore in the months leading up to our next global gathering in Orlando.
Join us as we consider what it means to share the gospel with our friends, families, co-workers, and communities, and how we can inspire others to increase their own capacity for evangelism.
Each Workbook in the Lost Cause series includes both instructional content from evangelism experts Dave Ferguson and Rick Richardson and reflection questions designed to help you think through your own understanding of the theory and practice of evangelism in your context.
Workbook 5 — Multiplying Evangelism for a Movement by Dave Ferguson and Rick Richardson
Why do we engage in the work of evangelism? In the first four workbooks, we challenged leaders to revive evangelism by intentionally creating evangelistic cultures. These cultures are created through biblical values, narratives, and behaviors
Without a thriving evangelism culture in our churches, we have no hope of carrying out the Great Commission. That’s what we’re talking about in this fifth and final workbook. It’s what all four previous workbooks have led up to: ultimately, we want to create a world-changing, multiplying movement for evangelism.

Do you struggle to motivate your members toward evangelism? Is your “invite them to church” approach broken?
You’re not alone. The program-based model is failing and never touched more than 30 percent of people still interested in Christianity. We need to equip and activate every Christ-follower as an everyday missionary.
Learn to remove the fear many church members feel when approaching evangelism. In these pages you’ll discover a workable plan for equipping, even scripting, church members for productive conversations about Christ.
By Arron Chambers
Author and Pastor Arron Chambers asserts that the fundamental message of 1st Corinthians 13 has been overlooked.
After dedicating six months to studying the passage and extensively reading it, the author firmly believes that 1st Corinthians 13 presents a profound model for demonstrating love towards one another and towards those who are lost. In the Chambers’ view, 1st Corinthians 13 serves as a resounding call for individuals to improve their capacity to love.
