* Don’t stop short. Recognize that evangelism includes more than just sharing the Gospel message with people so that they repent and begin saving relationships with Jesus. Understand that it also entails helping people be baptized, filled with the Holy Spirit, and incorporated into a local church. Keep it touch with people who say a prayer of salvation with you to make sure they’re on track to grow as Christians.

* Let the Holy Spirit lead you. Don’t use a standard formula to evangelize people. Instead, approach each one differently according to how the Holy Spirit leads you. Tailor your conversation to each person’s unique needs. Share the Gospel at the right time in each person’s life, since everyone is at a different stage of readiness to hear and respond to it. Pray regularly for God to give you divine appointments with the right people at the right times.

* Pray for lost people. Realize that praying for the lost releases great power to help them. Every day, pray for people in your circle of influence – unbelieving family members, friends, coworkers, neighbors, and acquaintances. Add fasting to your prayers when you can, since doing so takes your focus off yourself, places it on spiritual concerns, and urges God to move in response. Pray with someone else when you can, since prayers are even more powerful when two or more people agree about them. Never give up praying for unsaved people you know; remember that it may take lots of time for them to come to faith, but that God is always at work and nothing is impossible with Him. Move outside your circle of influence by praying for unbelievers in specific cities and nations worldwide. Know that your prayers will impact their lives because prayer has no geographic boundaries.
