Ideas For Evangelism - Way of Life Literature

Our Doorstep” in North America, and English languagestudies is one of their tools (Continental Baptist Mission,5900 Alpine NW, Comstock Park, MI 49321).One idea is to use the holiday seasons to make contactswith foreign college and university students with the goalof building an evangelistic relationship with them andtheir families. There are international studentorganizations on most campuses, and if approachedproperly they might either give the names of foreignstudents from a particular country or part of the world, orthey might be willing to put you into contact with arepresentative.To be most effective personal contact must be made withthe students (as opposed, for example, merely posting aflyer, etc.). Whether or not this endeavor is effective willdepend, first of all, upon the ingenuity and friendliness ofthe person or persons making the initial contacts. Theycan be invited to a “typical American home for a typicalAmerican Christmas.” A printed invitation could be usedto describe the event.Another idea is to contact the newly arrived foreignstudents and provide some basic instruction about life inAmerica, and use this to establish a relationship withthem for presenting the gospel.Another idea is an International Dinner that could be thefocus of attracting students to a gospel presentation. Theforeign students can be invited to help prepare food fromtheir individual countries. Those who are contacted tohelp prepare the meals can be encouraged to invite theirfriends. If there are Christian foreigners available, theirtestimonies at the Dinner might be very helpful.106
