Greetings PuritanBoard! I was wondering if anyone here is doing (or knows someone who is doing) evangelism efforts outside of false churches. If so, I would like to connect with such persons. I have personally found that due to the nature of private property (and avoid trespassing) and the...
Brothers and sisters of the PB,
MARS is hosting a conference through its Center for Missions and Evangelism. Early bird pricing is available until April 30. The conference last year was a blessing and a good time of fellowship. I hope to see y'all there!

I have heard scattered references to missions of the Free Church of Scotland in Tiberias and perhaps other locations (they seemed to have purchased the properties of the English missionaries in Safed), as well as something at some point relating to the Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland being...

But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry. (I Timothy 4:5)

Folks,
Mid-America Reformed Seminary's Center for Missions and Evangelism is hosting a conference in October. Please consider attending and spreading the word around to your churches, friends, and family.
Recently I've been growing in my conviction that the 10 commandments are indeed binding and the summary of the moral law (the dominant theological views around me are not this). As I've been coming to this it's left me wondering about how telling others about Jesus, as laity, relates to the...
Does anyone know of a helpful guide to street preaching, or might anyone here offer substantial guidance (beyond the obvious)? An opportunity has arisen for me to do some of this type of ministry with our church, but I am inexperienced. I’m looking for something along the lines of a method.
I have a Reformed friend from church who travels to Chicago every Saturday to engage in evangelism. However, I was not particularly happy with what I saw when I went with him. As we were moving to a different destination inside a subway train, he used his megaphone and began to preach repentance...
The Five Principles of the Gospel by C. Matthew McMahon
We may hear preachers say, "believe the simple Gospel of Jesus Christ and be saved!" Is the "simple Gospel" contained only in that single short phrase? If we speak that kind of short phrase to an indigenous native of some foreign country...
The following statements in the 1689 LBCF (& WCF) struck me as contradictory, and along with the further questions I had about Acts 17:30, I'm hoping for some help.
10:3 (WCF 10:3) - "Elect infants dying in infancy are regenerated and saved by Christ through the Spirit; who works when, and...
Dear Believer in Christ:
When I applied to post here on PuritanBoard earlier this year, I was asked if I held any office in the Reformed Church that I attend here in Yuba City, CA. The choices were:
Pastor/Teaching Elder
Ruling Elder
Deacon
Doctor (don't know what this is referring to)...
My denomination (PCA) has a ministry that posted a subpage describing the LGBT as a Community. On said site I could not find the word 'sin' anywhere, nor any language to that effect. Rather it is viewed as a community, a people-group. And the links and nonsense on it go right along with what the...
I came across this article and read the whole thing. At the beginning I thought Pink argued a very good point about the shortcomings of evangelical evangelism, but after reading further I came across some things I haven't really heard before and to be honest kind of confused me. I believe some...
I searched through this forum for a while the other day and saw several posts on reformed tracts that were closed.
CovenantalBaptist, on a post from 2008 said "Why not make your own?!"
Just so happens, that's exactly what I was in the midst of doing for our church.
So I wanted to make a...
I have colleagues who are Theravada Buddhists, although I don't think they are serious practitioners. Anyway, I want to give them a Christian/Reformed book that emphasizes the person of Jesus Christ and salvation from sin.
I also plan on evangelizing them, so I would appreciated bibliographic...
Hello, all. Not sure if you have heard about the new documentary, 'Babies are Murdered Here' put out by Crown Rights Media (same people who did "How to Answer the Fool"). It is extremely powerful, and is Gospel centered...hence, I believe it has the chance to profoundly affect the Church, and...
Hello!
As many of you know, our church has been doing little videos to bring attention to various Bible-related issues. It has been going fairly well.
With our latest video, we are trying to get something bigger going; a nationwide push to evangelize our leaders, and call them to repentance...
Dear brethren,
I have been wrestling with this issue for a while: namely that of praying for unbelievers. Please help me!! Please use the Scriptures with exegesis in reference to soteriological considerations of the Doctrines of Grace. (pray for unbelievers... but only the elect will be saved...
What are your thoughts after watching this video? Love to hear them
I have been convicted of a LOT of sin in my manner and attitude towards evangelism.

No, I don't think that. That's ridiculous. That's what the writer suggests here:

His point seems to be that we can make "a disciple of Jesus" without having them convert to Christianity. He obviously...

Talk about God's pursuit of his people.
The topic has come up on Puritan Board now and then about whether open-air preaching is appropriate/helpful. Phil Johnson has a post on this that I appreciated. I hope some of you do too.
Pyromaniacs: Street-Preaching
I am just curious:
How many of you attend churches that are primarily growing through evangelism?
But first, what I am not looking for: I don't mean necessarily just getting people in the pews or baptisms. I also don't mean getting new members from other churches (sheep stealing) which...
(This thought is in line with chaplinintraining's question on evangelism... but a little different, so I bring it up here, so as not to sidetrack that thread.)
I've been involved in various evangelistic outreaches and mission trips for much of my adult life (some before our family was in the...
Greetings!
