 If you really wnat to reach people for Jesus, here is where you can start. 

Pray.  

Ask God to bring people into your life that are seeking Jesus, even if they do not realize it yet.

Ask God to help you see them when they do show up.  And they will.

Ask God to give you the right words to say, the right invitation to make, and the right story to share.

Ask God to give you the courage to speak up.

If you want your church to be more evangelistic, pray as a congregation.

Ask God to bring people into your church who are seeking.

Ask God to help you see them.

Ask God to give you the right words, stories, invitations to share,

Ask Him to give your church the courage to speak.

Pray for people you want to reach by name.   

My church spends a lot of time sharing names of those we are trying to reach for Jesus.  We have prayer lists and prayer warriors.  Our Bible class prayer time has a lot of faimily needs expressed, but they are also filled with names of those we are trying to share Jesus with.

So if you really want to know the secret to becoming a disciple maker, or to having your church really become evangelistic... 

Just pray.

But a word of caution.  Only pray if you really mean it.

Becasuse God does answer prayer.
