One Sunday, I sat down with the congregation and shared my failures in evangelism I have experienced over the 16+ years of full time ministry.

1. My Failures In
Evangelism
A Simple Look at Evangelism Made Real

2. First Thought
“If you want to succeed, double your failure rate.”
(Thomas J. Watson)

3. Second Thought
• Moses never made it to the promise land.
• David failed in his reign.
• Paul was mocked.
• Peter denied Jesus.
• Jesus did not convert anyone.

4. Bible Thoughts
“Go therefore and make disciples of all
nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father
and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching
them to observe all that I have commanded you.
And behold, I am with you always, to the end of
the age.”
(Matthew 28.19-20, ESV)

5. Bible Thoughts
“Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel
to the whole creation. Whoever believes and
is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not
believe will be condemned..”
(Mark 16.15-16, ESV)

6. Bible Thoughts
“But as for you, teach what accords with sound
doctrine.
(Titus 2.1, ESV)

7. My Top Five
• I never talked to them.
• I left it to someone else.
• I regretted, but never made resolution.
• I spent too much time out of the field.
• I never considered their soul.

8. My Failures
• Will we learn from each other, or create our own
mistakes?
• Remember, the best way to find success is to double
your failure rate.
