Have You Heard the Good News?

The 6 "E"'s to One on One Evangelism

Entrance (definition: opening)
- Most people say that they could never do street witnessing because they could never approach people. You talk to people everyday at the grocery store, etc.
Option:
- Have you heard the good news?
- Hey, have you gotten one of these?
- We are out doing a survey. Do you mind if we ask you a question?
Evaluation (to determine where a person is)
- Ask the question: "Would you know if anything happened to you tonight or a long time from now, would you know in your heart that you would go to heaven?"
  You will get one of several answers:
  - Yes, I know for sure - Go to Encouragement
  - No, I will go to hell - Go to Education
  - I don't know - Go to Education
Encouragement (definition: To give courage, hope, or confidence to - never put anyone down.)
- If someone says yes, I will go to heaven:
  - That is great - can I ask you how you know your are going to heaven?
  - May even ask - "When your time is done on this earth and you stand before God and he asks you: "Why should I let you into my heaven? what would you say?
    Most will say - Because I am a good person, I go to church, I try to be nice to people. Encourage them - "That is great, we need to do that".
