My Failures In Evangelism
A Simple Look at Evangelism Made Real
First Thought
“If you want to succeed, double your failure rate.”
(Thomas J. Watson)
Second Thought
• Moses never made it to the promise land.• David failed in his reign.• Paul was mocked.• Peter denied Jesus.• Jesus did not convert anyone.
Bible Thoughts
“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the
Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you
always, to the end of the age.”
(Matthew 28.19-20, ESV)
Bible Thoughts
“Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation. Whoever believes and
is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned..”
(Mark 16.15-16, ESV)
Bible Thoughts
“But as for you, teach what accords with sound
doctrine.
(Titus 2.1, ESV)
My Top Five
• I never talked to them.• I left it to someone else.• I regretted, but never made resolution.• I spent too much time out of the field.• I never considered their soul.
My Failures
• Will we learn from each other, or create our own mistakes?• Remember, the best way to find success is to
double your failure rate.
