Many people who don’t go to church say the main reason is that no one ever invited them.

When was the last time you invited

someone to come to church with

you?Everything you do is evangelism.

The holy scripture on evangelism…“You will be my

witnesses in Jerusalem (San Antonio), in all Judea (Bexar County),and Samaria (Texas), and to the ends of the earth.”

The next slide still has the same faces on it. Eventually these could be replaced with the faces of church members.

Each Sunday different faces could be used. People could look forward to seeing their own face, prompting attendance and attention.

Evangelism is…

bringing people to the love of God



The next several slides are definitions of Evangelism gathered from many different

sources. More are needed.

A person who’s passionate about Evangelism can collect more and share

them with the SWTX Evangelism Committee. The goal is to have at least 52

• Determine number of slides per Sunday

• Use Scripture quotes in any order or according to Lectionary (be creative!)

• Evang Team members participate by sending additional quotes, definitions, etc.

• Preferred Slide Transition (tech stuff for A/V Tech)

– Fade through black; slow transition speed– No animation!– Timed long enough to be completely read
