» Public preaching and evangelistic outreach must be a critical element in all urban evangelism and ministry to the lost. » Entire networks of friends and kinship relationships can be penetrated through a focused, prayerful outreach to the various household networks, or the individual oikos of each Christian in their own sphere of influence.

The following questions have been created to help you review the material in the second video segment. The emphasis was on sharing the Good News verbally, with a focus especially on the need for prayer, for private and public evangelism with special attention being given to the individual webs of influence or oikos of those to whom we share the Good News. Be clear and concise in your answers, and where possible, support with Scripture! 1. Why is prayer such a critical element in all effective urban evangelism? What are the characteristics of the kind of prayer that sets the foundation for meaningful outreach in the city? 2. What are some of the specific ways in which we can organize ourselves as we prepare for urban evangelism through structured, focused intercessory prayer? 3. Being able to share one’s testimony is critical for urban evangelism. What elements are involved in the activity of personal soul-winning? 4. List two instances in the New Testament where an evangelistic witness is done personally to one person or a small private group. What do we learn about personal soul winning from these examples? 5. What is the rule of thumb for sharing your personal testimony, and how do you best prepare to be able to share your personal testimony of faith with others? 6. What elements must be included in a clear, biblical, and personal testimony of one’s faith in Christ? 7. Write out your testimony. Can you give your personal testimony of faith with Scripture in 3 minutes or less? Write out a version that allows you to do this.
