PERSONAL EVANGELISM
INTRODUCTION:
Personal Evangelism is a person to person sharing of the Gospel message with the aim of leading the individual to Christ. There is no greater Joy than seeing coming to Christ. Moreover, the Bible says, “he that winneth soul is wise” (Prov.11:30). One of the primary
reasons we are still alive after we received Christ is to be fishers of men (Matt.4:19).

MEMORY VERSE: I COR.9:16
For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me ; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel?
