Module Overview
This module is unique in several ways. It is a training tool to equip Christian leaders to train other Christians for evangelistic outreach. This material also challenges and inspires leaders to personally reach their fullest potential.

Leading With Outreach provides how to bring family and friends into a relationship with Jesus Christ in a relaxed, relational way. An emphasis is placed on learning to rely on the Holy Spirit for direction and empowerment in the evangelism process, while allowing Christians to discover their individual gifts. Also considered are how to respond to common objections, other religions, and ways to conduct effective outreaches.

This training assumes the initial setting for most evangelism takes place outside of a church environment in the typical places where non-Christians live, work, and socialize.
