iPhone Evangelism…

hayleyneal — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 14:21:17 +0000

I wanted to have a tool to help me do the “5 Quick Questions” survey evangelism more easily whenever the urge or demand arises, be able to keep the data collected and also a survey they looks like I am for real and not some crazy person…

So I went looking for an online survey service that I can access via my iPhone. After trying Survey Monkey and Survey Gizmo I decided to go with the later. Survey Gizmo is easier to use, has a more intuitive dashboard and publish settings, plus it just looks neater and modern. Gizmo is an easy to use online survey software tool, with lots of features for not only surveys but polls and evaluations. If you have a student email you can sign up for the student edition which is free.

Check out this form for 5 quick questions. I now have a portable survey, that I can pull out at any time in my local area. I hope to use it lots in and around our mission week coming up in August/Sept.

¹ Praise the LORD, O my soul;
all my inmost being, praise his holy name.

² Praise the LORD, O my soul,
and forget not all his benefits-

³ who forgives all your sins
and heals all your diseases,

⁴ who redeems your life from the pit
and crowns you with love and compassion,

⁵ who satisfies your desires with good things
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

Tough Questions…

hayleyneal — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 09:13:51 +0000

Churches often run courses like So Many Questions , to equip believers to know what to say in response to many common questions about Christianity. We do however, mainly run these type of courses or hot topic nights for the insider /believer, training them up to send them out to share what they learn with the people they are in relationship. This is really important element in the training of evangelism in churches.

However how about killing two birds with one stone: turn this evangelist training course into mini-evangelistic events. Open the event up to not just cater for the Christian. Promote it as something Christians could even bring unbelievers to.

For the Christian – To train up and equip your church about the defeater beliefs, objections to Christianity, and tough questions that they face in the conversations they are having with their friends.
For the Unbeliever – They would not only cater for the Christian but the unbelieving friend also. They would be nights where you could easily invite your friends to, and allow them to hear more about the Christian worldview.

Get a speaker to speak on their hobby horse topic, have a panel of speakers, or even open it up for questions time also.
Topics could include:

» Resurrection proof
» Hasn’t science disproved Christianity
» Reliability of the bible
» Objective Morality
» Ultimate truth/Exclusivity of Christianity
» Where is God during the GFC
» God hates religion – cause of all wars
» Christian disunity
» Role of sex in relationships
» Christianity is a group of homophobes
» Place of suffering in humanity
» Origin of creativity and beauty
» Purpose of work/career
» Toxic Culture
» Money

The hope of the future – eternal life
Being drawn to God
Relevant forever
Simplicity
Being satisfied
Seeing God at work in the world.
It’s worth knowing – many blessings
Unconditional
Joy and Peace from believing it.
All encompassing
Experiencing the love
Not a system it is relational
Freedom to live life as it should be lived
Comfort of knowing the God of all comfort
Being under Christ’s rule
Getting the gift of the Spirit to empower you to live
The buzz from sharing it with others
No longer an enemy.
No longer running
Being FOUND in Christ
It’s transforming power.
Having purpose and an identity that is not fickle
knowing the Creator God and being known by him
Being cared for by the Good Shepherd

18 Confessions… Power of God | 18

hayleyneal — Sat, 12 Jun 2010 07:11:49 +0000



My hope is that this series of posts "18 Confessions"
will deepen the believers empathy for those seeking out
the faith and bring insight into the internal wrestles of a new
Christian or perhaps if you relate to the thoughts or
struggles in  these posts that you would consider the
lasting satisfaction and joy that can  only be found in Jesus.
