In 1996, I undertook a serious personal study of the book of Acts. When I came to Acts 5:41-42, the Holy Spirit spoke to me powerfully:

  “The apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing because they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name. Day after day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Christ.” (Acts 5:41-42)

 What struck me was the fact that the Apostles, the Church leaders, were active in evangelism. After a careful study of Church history, I discovered virtually the entire Early Church had been mobilised, and they reached pretty much the known world with the gospel. Then I discovered that today only 2% of Christians in the Western Church regularly engage in evangelism.

 How had we moved from everyone doing it, to only 2%? Who or what had caused this gigantic shift? How had we regressed 98% over 2000 years?

 I clearly felt the Holy Spirit challenge me to find answers to these questions. For 10 years, I sought God and undertook serious study. Over this time He revealed 66 reasons why this shift had occurred. 

What’s interesting is that each of these ‘reasons’ is really a ‘device’ of the enemy which Paul speaks about in 2 Corinthians 2:11.   A careful study of the word ‘device’ in the lexicon reveals that ‘devices’ aim to change people’s minds, perceptions, and thoughts about something – in this case ‘evangelism’ and ‘the gospel’.

So what’s the bottom line? The reason the people in your church don’t do evangelism is that the devil has messed with their thoughts, perceptions and minds.  If a Christian under the influence of just one device will not do evangelism, imagine how paralysed is one who is influenced by all 66?

 You see, these ‘devices’ can be likened to computer viruses.  Without anti-virus software installed, computers eventually crash.  It’s the same with the Church. The statistics show the Church in the West has ‘crashed’ with respect to evangelism. And, like a computer, the only way to re-boot the hard drive and get it functioning again is to deal with the viruses – in the Church’s case, the ‘devices’.  

 So if you want to reverse the 2000 year, 98% regression, and come to know what is causing you and your church to shut down in evangelism, and become part of the solution, the EVANGELISM DISCIPLESHIP DVD SERIES for small groups ought to be the first course you take your whole church through on your road to recovery.  As anti-virus software is to computers, so this course is to churches which have crashed with respect to evangelism. 

Say no more. I urge you, for the sake of the glory of God, the eternal destiny of the lost, and the spiritual health of your people: expose your church to the teaching in these resources.  It’s time to re-boot your churches’ evangelism hard drive and get it up and running again!

Pastors' Comments

Pastors who have used the ESI resources in their church are encouraged to share their experiences here.

Study guides are available for each chapter of my book.

These were originally requested by a Bible College, who were enthusiastic about the book and wanted their students to ‘squeeze every last drop of insight’ from its pages.

So I spent many hours writing these chapter studies and now they are available, not just for Bible Schools, Colleges and Seminaries, but also for individuals in a 114-page guidebook. As you read my book with these studies along side you, you will be certain to get the most out of every chapter.

Let’s face it, most of us can read a book and, because we can be distracted while reading, or momentarily lose focus, we can easily miss some of the critical points the author is making.

As you work through each chapter, I will take you step by step on a journey in the study guide, holding your hand (as it were), making sure you don’t miss anything vital. These chapter studies are ideal for individual or small groups study.

If you want to be more like Jesus, this DVD series is a ‘must see!’

Jesus said in Matthew 28: 18-20: “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples…”

A disciple is an apprentice or a learner. Jesus was the greatest of all evangelists. If we as His disciples are to grow more like Him, it goes without saying we all need discipling in evangelism.

You’ll get teaching and insight previously only available to Bible Colleges!

These six DVDs (19 sessions) were originally for use in a Bible College to disciple students about evangelism and to equip them to actually do evangelism. Click here to see the title of each session. Now they are available for the first time to the wider Christian community.

Guaranteed not boring!

Sessions range in length from 15 minutes to 45 minutes, and are well researched. They are easy to follow and understand. You’ll find them interesting, engaging – and entertaining! These DVDs are the A-Z of evangelism, and cover almost everything you need to know on this critical subject.

Get the most out of every DVD session!

As with my book, there is a study guide for each Evangelism Discipleship DVD session. These study guides are highly interactive and engaging, ensuring those being discipled are fully involved in the learning process.

You’ll be actively involved in the learning process!

As such, and while watching each DVD session, you’ll be required to fill in key words and concepts along the way. Answers are at the end of each study.

You’ll learn to apply what you have studied!

Each study ends with ‘Discussion and Application’, because it’s in the application that progress is really going to be made. The discussion questions are designed to create lively and interesting discussion!

They are ideal for a range of learning situations!

These guides are ideal for small groups/home groups, or students studying at seminaries, Bible Colleges, Christian schools, or similar institutions. To estimate the cost of purchasing a workbook for each member of your small groups, click here
