Evangelism often relies heavily on story, mostly through our own personal testimonies. If we are willing to be interested in others stories then people will want to hear ours.
Evangelism as Mystery is where we can explain to a non believer the faith we have and why and how we experience it. First we must invite them to explore for themselves, “it is that something deep inside us”, it might be hard to explain but worth pursuing.
Image in evangelism is where people are invited to look and wonder, “is this old fashioned or what are they going on about?” We need images that reflect us as real people not just ‘church’ people.
Metaphor can link the secular and Church worlds take the word “fellowship” which in evangelism should really be translated “Friendship” people understand this concept much better.
