Mobilize to Evangelize: The Pastor and Effective Congregational Evangelism

Oswald J. Smith frequently warned pastors, "The church that does not evangelize will fossilize." Bearing the responsibility to lead God's people to be consistently and intentionally evangelistic can be a heavy task. Pastors often feel too exhausted and overwhelmed to give evangelism the primary attention it deserves.

Based on his own pastoral experience in the local church, Southwestern Seminary evangelism professor Matt Queen has written a practical guide for pastors who want to champion evangelism in their congregations. Mobilize to Evangelize provides pastors with tools they need to understand and to assess how evangelism is conceived, practiced, and perceived in their congregations. It offers realistic ideas they can implement to mobilize their congregations to evangelize.
