Dialogue Evangelism
Our approach to
evangelism begins with one key understanding. We believe that
God’s Holy Spirit is already active in the lives of those we seek to
bring to the Lord Jesus. We are certain that there is no place
we arrive at where the Holy Spirit is not already there working
before us. In particular, we believe that the Holy Spirit is
at work in all people convicting them of sin and awakening the need
for righteousness and judgment. Every false faith or
religion is a token, no matter how much in error, of this good work
of the Holy Spirit. One's religious efforts and ideas are the
product of a response to
the good work of the Holy Spirit.

What
a Week with CPE Looks Like and Simple Steps
toward Getting it Done.
The week of a Church Partnership Evangelism outreach
ministry is carried out in the following order. After
Sunday, each morning from Monday through Thursday, the team
is picked up from the hotel at around 8:30 am. They will eat
lunch and the evening meal in the homes or the church of the
fellowship in which they work. From 9 till 10 am is
usually set aside for training in evangelism and
discipleship. There are breaks to eat and rest from 12
till 2 pm and from 5 till 6 pm. The time blocks for
evangelistic appointments and follow-up visits during the
day are 10 am till 12 pm, 2 pm till 5 pm, and 6:15 pm onward
into the evening. A ministry that begins with
100% evangelism on the first day usually ends with nearly
100% discipleship on the 5th and last day.

A
Typical Week
What CPE Can Do For You
Recently I received a letter from a national pastor five months
after hosting a CPE event in his church. During the event one hundred
and six decisions made to receive Christ were recorded. This pastor
noted that of these 106, some had wished no further contact, some had
moved or lived to far outside the area of the church’s ministry to make
follow up possible.
Yet of the original 106, 58 individuals were engaged in regular personal
discipleship and 38 were attending cell groups. One group had 19 new
converts in it. As well the pastor noted that at that time 24 were
attending the services of the church and another 14 had already been
baptised. Finally the pastor added that above all this, he rejoiced that
his people had been brought to a new level in ministry. He rejoiced
also, that his congregation laid the foundation for future growth in
evangelism, discipleship and the planting of new churches.
