Prayer

Prayer is the essential work that covers the full cycle of evangelism. Make sure that every step of the way your efforts are bathed in prayer. Starting your cycle off with some intentionally prayer-focused activities can go a long way in helping establish that culture.

Cultivate

This is where the work of preparation begins, both in the community as well as with your church members. In the community, do service-oriented activities that bring positive exposure to your church, without focusing on preaching or sharing your beliefs yet. Inside the church, get your evangelism cycle going by training members on how to find and then nurture spiritual interest.

Sow

Begin building your interest list by planting seeds of biblical truth in your community. Establish as many Bible studies as you can—it’ll help your church realize more success in each consecutive phase of the evangelism cycle. This is also the time to start holding bridge events for the community to connect with your church and God’s Word.

Irrigate

Once the seeds you’ve planted sprout and begin growing, encourage further spiritual development by offering a full-message evangelistic series. Many have found that holding these meetings in the spring and fall is most successful.

Harvest

Continue helping your friends in the community grow as they develop towards baptism. The reality is that even with the full-message evangelistic campaign you hosted in Irrigate, you’ve got some (or many) contacts who need more time or nurturing. Activities and events that will help gently encourage their decisions for Christ are a great follow-up and work well in the Harvest phase.

Perpetuate

After the harvest, the work doesn’t stop—it evolves. Assimilate your new members into the life of the church and ground them in the truth they’ve been learning about. As they continue to grow, they’ll find opportunities to share what they’ve learned with others . . . and the cycle begins again, with new energy to help reach others!
