Meekness and Truth™ Ministries
Apologetics and Evangelism for the New Millennium
Dear friends of Meekness and Truth™,
I probably do not need to tell you that Christians are having more
difficulties today than ever before in reaching the lost in the U.S.
This is especially true on college campuses. Jim Petersen, in his book
"Living Proof," points out that the gap between those who are close to
accepting Christ and those who are not, is getting wider and wider
every year. Consequently, it is much more difficult to reach people in
all walks of life from on college campuses to the neighbor next door.
At Meekness and Truth™, we believe that there is a great need to teach
people how to do better pre-evangelism with not-yet Christians by
applying the principles of "Conversational Evangelism" so that we may
create an openness among them to consider the person of Christ in
fulfillment of the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20).
How Can Meekness and Truth™ Help?
At Meekness and Truth we have two main goals. First, to equip
Christian leaders and their members to effectively use "Conversational
Evangelism" as a first step in reaching others for Christ.
Conversational Evangelism is an easy to teach and easy to use process
of using Christian evidences in evangelism in our postmodern culture.
Second, we also desire to make these materials available to thousands
and even millions of people worldwide via the Internet. We believe
that if Christians in general have easier access to materials that
would be helpful in pre-evangelism, more people would be motivated to
share their faith on a regular basis, since they have a evangelism
paradigm that could open the doors to fruitful discussions about
Christ, even among their postmodern friends.
What is Meekness and Truth™ doing to train college ministries?
We have now taught our Conversational Evangelism methodology to
College ministries across the U.S. at schools like, MIT, Georgia Tech,
Oklahoma State, Oklahoma University, U.C. Davis, Florida State Univ.,
Texas A&M, Rice University, U.T. Austin and etc. Furthermore we have
distributed our Resource CD (containing all our materials) to every
Campus Crusade Campus Director, every Navigator College Staff, and
over 25% of all Baptist student directors in the U.S.
What is Meekness and Truth™ doing to train the layman?
Meekness and Truth has as one of its next goal to distribute over
100,000 of our pre-evangelism resources to evangelical churches around
the U.S. We desire is to see lay people better equipped in
pre-evangelism to reach others influenced by postmodern and
pluralistic thinking. Bottom line we want to give Evangelical churches
one additional pre-evangelism tool they can use and teach to their
members.
As our brochure points out, we offer among other things:
Weekend seminar trainings
Lay Teacher's/Pastor's seminars
Consulting for Christian Ministries
Testimonials about our training:
"I know of no other ministry who is doing a better job to equip the
church in pre-evangelism resources. Conversational evangelism is a
vital tool in re-equipping the body of Christ in this new millennium
to forward the Gospel in the unreached areas of the world."
Dr. Norman Geisler
"The Conversational Evangelism model hits the mark! Similar to leading
seeker small groups, this approach--asking relevant questions so
seekers can discover biblical truths for themselves--is one of the
most effective and powerful ways to reach out and help seekers cross
the line of faith."
Garry Poole, evangelism director at Willow Creek Community Church and
author of Seeker Small Groups
“Truth is best communicated in the realm of interpersonal
relationships. And the best conduit for establishing relationships is
the fine art of soul-searching conversation. As such, conversational
evangelism and apologetics are vital tools for communicating the
Gospel in a non-threatening, pre-evangelistic manner. This fresh
pre-evangelism model by Rev Dave Geisler is excellent. It is
seeker-sensitive, Word-centered and purpose-driven. It is designed to
win a hearing from a conversation with pre-believers, much like what
Jesus did when He engaged in conversational evangelism with the
Samaritan woman at Jacob’s well (John 4).”
Rev. Edmund Chan, Senior Pastor, Covenant Evangelical Free Church,
Singapore
Feedback received from Crusade Staff in Singapore who attended our
class:
"I realize that this apologetic method is a very powerful tool to help
the advancement of the Gospel. I believe that this model is a crucial
factor to my ministry in China."
Jonathan
"The whole process of adopting the conversational evangelism
methodologies has revolutionized the way I do evangelism."
James
"My evangelistic skills have been improved as I learned and applied
various insights into apologetic evangelism from you."
Casey
"It has been a major paradigm shift for me; not that I didn't listen
to the people I witness to or I didn't try to understand them, its
just that the conversation was never an important part. This model
gives me a chance to reflect on my past experience of witnessing; it
encourages me to be an active listener and equips me with the
guidelines, steps, and really good questions to make constructive
conversations with people. In the past, I wanted to help people to be
one step closer to Jesus even when they showed no interest in hearing
the gospel, yet I didn't know how: I felt quite powerless and
speechless. Now, I have another weapon in my arsenal"
Catherine
"As a Campus Crusade staff, I am trained in using the four spiritual
laws and some apologetic skills, but I have problems trying to
integrate them during evangelism. When people indicate that they were
not interested, I could only ask them for the reason and then invite
them for an evangelistic bible study or share my personal testimony.
This model helps me to go further by asking questions, identifying the
barriers, and finding common ground in my conversations with
non-believers."
Kathy
"Personally, the concept of Conversational Evangelism has changed my
perspective towards evangelism. Understanding that evangelism is a
process takes the pressure off from me, and reduces the tension to
want to get through the booklet. Evangelism then becomes something
that I am enjoying more and more."
