Open air evangelism - 20 February 2010 |
|
People keep asking for a copy of the questionnaire that we use at Emmanuel when we do open-air and door-to-door evangelism. Maybe this has got something to do with it. Well, here goes.
It’s not rocket science, nor is it original to us, nor do we necessarily follow it very closely in practice. It’s also constantly evolving as we find new and better ways of engaging with people in our community.
We try to keep remembering that we’re primarily interested in people, not demographic data. After all, it’s people that God cares about. These questions are designed to help us overcome our nerves and get talking to them. We try to treat each question as a conversation-starter, a way to get to know the person we’re talking to.
With those caveats and qualifications in place, here goes:
- What do you do during the week?
- What things are most important to you? Why?
- What do you think is wrong with the world?
- What do you think is the root cause of the problems in the world?
- Would you describe yourself as religious?
- What do you know about Jesus Christ?
- If you could ask God one question, what would it be?
- If it were possible to know God personally, would you want to?
