The Root Problem

There

is no priority of evangelism
Its a pastor-only duty
Prayer and evangelism disconnect
Fail to be compassionate
Not intentionally evangelistic
New converts change their church

What do we do?

best evangelism tool is do

evangelism itself.
The best evangelism tool is the tool
that works.
