“Every person has a right to hear the Gospel in a way that they can understand” – Jim Rayburn, Young Life

How?

Ø     Engage (build) a relationship with someone.

Ø     Win someone to Christ.

Ø     Maintain the relationship with someone.

For April and May, record the following-:

1. How many you engaged (built) a relationship with? _____________________

2. How many you won to Christ? ______________________

3. How many you maintained the relationship with? ______________________

Note: A majority of believers have come to faith through relationships.  Therefore, while the ultimate goal is to win someone to Christ, there is evangelistic value in forming and maintaining relationships.
