Every day extreme poverty drives innocent children into drastic situations. As a result many are unwillingly sold into slavery to do the unthinkable. One of the people who stands up for those children is Tom Davis, president of Children’s HopeChest. I recently had the opportunity to catch up with Tom to [...]

I’m really excited about Realtime Connections for several reasons: First, it’s for everyday disciples – not just preachers.

Also, when the Great Commission is fulfilled [...]

Why don’t more people hand out tracts these days? After all, aren’t they the perfect little Gospel message in a short, easy to read, interesting format? Especially in our sound-bite culture, these straight-to-the-point presentations should have a big impact… right? So then why to they end up in the trash [...]

What do you do when you encounter someone of another faith when sharing yours? Many people think they need to know everything there is about the other faith in order to refute it . But rarely does someone change their faith system because someone who knows a lot about it told [...]

What’s one of the most effective tools that should be in your evangelism toolkit? Many people often think that it’s about knowing the five (or other number) steps in a special method, or being able to make a convincing apologetic argument. But one of the most effective things that one can do when [...]

Evangelism is not as much an event as it is a lifestyle. Some of the most effective evangelism that we can do is in the context of our everyday lives. In this portion of the conversation Dillon challenges us to walk our walk before we talk the talk. It is [...]
![[dillon burroughs] on initiating conversation in evangelism](http://bibledude.net/wp-content/themes/sportpress/functions/theme/thumb.php?src=http://bibledude.net/wp-content/uploads/conversation-100x100.jpg&w=160&h=120&zc=1&a=c)

I remember hearing about a dude [...]

Have you ever felt overwhelmed with the idea of evangelism? If so, there is a very good explanation for that. The tendency of the American Christian is to believe that the natural response to salvation is to go get everyone else saved as well. We often get the ‘Billy Graham syndrome’ [...]

In this portion of the discussion one student brings up questions about feelings of failure after unsuccessful attempts at evangelism. Dillon addresses the concerns by sharing two important things to remember: Learn from it. Don’t give up. Dillon continues by pointing out that many people will learn a great deal [...]
Jesus, undeterred, went right ahead and gave his charge: “God authorized and commanded me to commission you: Go out and train everyone you meet, far and near, in this way of life, marking them by baptism in the threefold name: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Then instruct them in the [...]

As author Dillon Burroughs shares via Skype video conference with my Evangelism Ministry class, I cannot help but to think about how much evangelism must have been a normal part of the Apostle Paul’s life. I mean the dude just oozed sharing the Message of Christ with other people. In [...]
