The days of waiting for people to us to welcome them in church are over.
Instead of waiting inside, we go outside
Bridge the gap by building relationships

Celtic Evangelism
The Celtic Way of Evangelism: How Christianity Can Reach the West…Again George Hunter writes about the difference between what he describes as the evangelism approach in Roman and Celtic Christianity.

Belonging and Believing
Christianity is more caught than taught!
As Professor Robin Gill observes, belonging comes before believing. For this reason, evangelism is now about helping people belong so that they can believe.

Relational in Outreach
“I stopped wondering about how to draw younger folks into my church and started focusing on how to draw my congregation out of its building and into relationship with the world outside its doors.”
![Page 34: Your Church ALIVE](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56813bf3550346895da52d85/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

Becoming Public with your Faith through Conversations
Conversational ministry is central to the future of the church in 21st Century
Count conversations, not conversions Brian McLaren, More Ready than You Think
![Page 42: Your Church ALIVE](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56813bf3550346895da52d85/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Conversational Ministry The postmodern world calls for disciples
who reach out to a world that is hungering for good conversation about faith, values, hope, meaning, purpose, goodness, beauty, truth, life after death, life before death and God. Engaging in everyday faith conversations will not only help others become disciples, it will help us become disciples, who know and love the stillspeaking God more than ever.

Just because people aren’t in church
doesn’t mean they don’t believe
![Page 44: Your Church ALIVE](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56813bf3550346895da52d85/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
•Since 1991 adult population in the US grew by 15%.•During that same period the unchurched population grew by 92%! 75 million US adults do not attend church 'Unchurched' Americans say church is 'full of hypocrites' consider Christianity to be more about organized religion than about loving God and people, …“unchristian”.
Unchurched USA

44 percent -- agreed that "Christians get on my nerves.“
Vast majority of young non-Christians view Christianity as anti-gay, judgmental hypocritical, unwelcoming, too political, out of touch.
But 78 percent said they would be willing to listen to someone who wanted to tell them about his or her Christian beliefs.Almost three-quarters -- 72 percent -- agreed that God "actually exists“ and an even larger percentage -- 86 percent -- said they believed they could have a good relationship with God without church involvement.

Start Conversations
Spiritual Seekers want to talk.
We are the ones not talkingFear of Intruding on Other’s faith
Missional outreach is faith-sharing.
An unchurched world doesn’t know but wants to hear why we do what we do and believe what we believe.

Stay open to transformation, our own transformation even as we invite others to be transformed.
Learn how to discuss all of this in non-theological terms.

E. Word = Elbow
“The e.word today is elbow.” Jim Griffith
Still today the way most folks find a community of faith is when they are invited to come and brought by a friend or neighbor.
Come and See! One beggar telling another where there is food.
![Page 54: Your Church ALIVE](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56813bf3550346895da52d85/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
