Building the culture of evangelisim
Evangelism is very much a matter of attitude in an individual and atmosphere in a congregation
Attitude + Aptitude=Altitude
People who would increase their evangelistic in their churches, begin by raising their temperature in their church and in their individuals
It begins with leaders; leaders must own and model the value that lost people matter to God
Your church will only be as evangelistic as you are

“The only thing worse than a church where no-one is finding Christ is a church where no-one is finding Christ and no-one is really bothered by that.”
