Biblical Evangelism
Open-air preaching is
the most used method for Biblical Evangelism. Jesus was an open-air
preacher (Sermon on the Mount), John the Baptist was an open-air
preacher (he preached in the wilderness), Paul was an open-air
preacher (Mars Hill), Stephen (Acts 7), and many more such as
Peter, Jeremiah, Amos, Jotham, Jonah, Isaiah, etc.

We believe that the Gospel is a
confrontational message, a call to forsake all known sin, and a
committing of the soul and the whole being to Jesus Christ.
We fervently oppose the
message that one can continue in sin while in a relationship with God.
Beginning at around noon, with no
amplification, Ellen and I approach the free speech area in the secular
universities and lift up our voices, crying aloud and sparing not against
sin, as the Bible says to do in Isaiah (Is 58:1).
I believe that one of the greatest
needs in America today is aggressive evangelism in the open-air. Many of
our modern methods only reach those that want to hear it, read it
or tune in. Open-air preaching reaches those who would not come to a
traditional evangelistic meeting otherwise.
I have tried it all: pizza suppers, musical
outreaches, door-to-door witnessing, literature distribution, book tables,
etc. All these have been effective to a degree, but open-air
preaching is by far the most effective (as well as the most
controversial). Next=>
