2. Articulate how evangelism is seen as proclaiming the message of salvation in Christ as well as demonstrating that message through our love and service to others. 3. Explain Romans 10.9-10 as a clear, simple, and powerful outline of the message of the Gospel. 4. Show clearly how in order to win others to Jesus and train them to do the same, we simply must know the truth concerning Jesus Christ. 5. Detail how evangelism is telling people of the person and work of Jesus Christ, who he is and what he did as the heart of our faith and of the Gospel. 6. Highlight the main points of the Nicene Creed regarding Jesus’ incarnation, passion, resurrection, ascension, and Second Coming. 7. Give to others through a biblical use of the Creed a running story of the Gospel message which can be adapted as we share the message in our communities. 1. Share with others the kind of lifestyle and conduct we as leaders must adopt in order to touch our urban communities. 2. Show from Scripture how evangelism is not only what we say but who we are and what we do (i.e., evangelism must be rooted in solid character and genuine spirituality). 3. Recite what kind and quality of spirituality we need to have to be a credible witness to God’s grace in Christ (through our walk with God, our relationship with our families, and with outsiders). 4. Demonstrate with Scripture the importance of a lived faith, of being zealous to do good works, especially on behalf of those who are poor and most vulnerable. 5. See how we can prepare for effective evangelism through prevailing intercessory prayer. 6. State from the Bible the importance of the roles of personal soul-winning, public preaching, and discourse in evangelism. 7. Give an overview of the importance of the concept of the household network or oikos in urban evangelism.
