Evangelism strategies

Romans Road

A classic strategy of presenting the gospel of Christ progressing along key passages in the book of Romans
Universal Problem of Sin: All have sin (Romans 3:23, 5:12)
Consequences of Sin: Death in sin (Romans 6:23)
God’s Provision: God’s love through Jesus’ Death & payment of sins (Romans 5:8, 6:23)
Our Response: Confess and Believe, salvation through faith (Romans 10:9-10, 13)
God’s Promise: No separation from God’s Love (Romans 8:38-39)

4 Spiritual Laws

Created by Bill Bright founder of CRU (1952)
1) God Loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life (John 3:16, 10:10)
2) Man is sinful and separates from God. Therefore, he cannot now or experience God’s love or plan for His life (Romans 3:23, 6:23)
3) Jesus Christ is God’s ONLY provision for man’s sin. Through Him you can know and experience God’s love and plan for your life (Romans 5:8, 1 Corinthians 15:3-6)
4) We must INDIVIDUALLY receive Jesus Christ as Lord and savior. The we can know and experience God’s love and plan for our lives (John 1:12, Ephesians 2:8-9, Revelation 3:20)

Pray and Say

A simple, conversational way to present the gospel to people
Offer Prayer: approach and explain your want to pray for them and ask if there are specific needs
Listen: listen to them and see what they have to say so you can then pray for them
Pray and Say the Gospel: Actually pray around for them and their needs but also weave in the Gospel message (mentions God’s love, mention sin and separation, mention Christ’s sinless life, death, burial, and resurrection)
