EE utilizes the incremental learning process. This intentional, nonconfrontational method has proven effective in training thousands to be soul winners andwinning tens of thousands of people to Christ for over 40 years. Through this gentle approach, EE helps ordinary people like you and me overcome our fear of witnessing forJesus. As more people become focussed and active in obeying Christ's Great Commission, our churches will be equipped to reach out to their communities with thelife-changing message of the Gospel 1. If I've read the EE textbook or have memorized the EE outline, does it mean that I've done EE? The most important part of EE is on-the-job training, in which you go with, watch and learn from experienced trainers, how to share the Gospel effectively. During these visits, you will slowly learn to overcome your fear of witnessing and build confidence in sharing your faith. Knowing the materials presented in EE is just a small part of the training process. 2. Some say that EE is too confrontational, is it true?? Anyone who has done EE will disagree. In fact, the approach is so friendly and non-confrontational that many have used it in their daily lives with friends, families and co-workers. In EE training you will learn how to stir an everyday conversation to spiritual things and how we can introduce the subject of faith with gentleness and great effectiveness. 3. Does EE work in different cultures and settings? I am afraid that it won't work where I live. Yes, EE is in 212 countries worldwide. It works with youth, seniors, men and women of all ages and background. No matter where you come from, the EE presentation can be contextualized to become an effective outreach tool for your community. 4. Will I see my church grow if we start EE ministry? Absolutely! Many churches experienced phenomenal growth as a result of starting an EE ministry. The reason is simple, lay Christians are most effective in reaching out to their friends and families. When they are trained to do so with confidence and love, we will surely see more souls be added to the body of Christ. 5. 14 weeks of training is too long, is it worth it? 14 weeks is a lot of commitment for sure, but it is certainly worth it considering the benefit of the training. 6. Isn't EE a “canned” approach? Not at all. The Gospel outline, though memorized, simply provides a track to run on yet is very flexible. 7. Isn't EE for people with the “gift of evangelism”? No. Every believer is called to be a witness. (By the way, strictly speaking, there is no “gift of evangelism”. Not in Romans 12; nor in 1 Corinthians 12; not even in Ephesians 4) In Ephesians 4 Jesus has gifted the Church with the office of evangelist. 8. Isn't EE just “door to door” evangelism? No. EE is a training and equipping ministry for people, young and old, to be effective witnesses in the marketplace, as a way of life. For on-the-job training purposes EE uses a “questionnaire” that can be used door-to-door, in public places, such as malls, bus stations, laundromats, etc. 9. Why should we consider EE in our church when we already doing lots of other programs? EE facilitates the outreach ministry of the church like no other. It keeps the individual believer involved personally in the “Great Commission”. It is essentially Marketplace Evangelism.10. Is it necessary to do personal evangelism to win the lost? Absolutely! While there are many ways to do evangelism such as crusade and special events, nothing fills the Body of Christ with greater passion for the lost on a continuing basis than one-on-one evangelism. It's like one beggar telling another beggar where to find bread. Besides, Jesus said, “you are my witnesses.” Case closed! Or should I say case opened! |
