Many of us want to grow in our evangelism and are keen to find what help is out there to train us and others.
It can be hard to work out what a training course is like before investing time and money in going through it yourself. So we asked nine experienced evangelists and local church leaders for their ‘go to’ recommendations (and why these are their top picks). Every course has strengths and weaknesses, but these were our most recommended.

“Doesn’t assume people have been Christians for a long time so is a great discipleship tool for new Christians as well. Highly practical, with lots of exercises to do in pairs and a session where you do walk-up evangelism in real life (or online if needed). Uses Bible content in the sessions but teaching is light on the need and practicalities of how to bring people to God’s Word in personal evangelism.”

“A very practical set of cards that prompt discussion about the steps people could take with their friends and colleagues to help them draw closer to Jesus. A lot of the examples are workplace-related so probably particularly good for that audience.”
