Rainer, NAMB launch evangelistic website

NASHVILLE — As a way to encourage evangelistic obedience among pastors and congregations, LifeWay President and CEO Thom S. Rainer has partnered with the North American Mission Board to launch EvangelismRenewal.com.

The site will encourage churches to record how many gospel conversations they hope to have in 2018. “We know conversion is only by the Holy Spirit but we also know that God begins most of these conversions with gospel conversations.”

The goal of the research and EvangelismRenewal.com is to start a conversation about difficult topics, Rainer said, but also to point struggling churches to evangelistically successful congregations and offer encouragement for those in decline to follow suit.

At the site, visitors can sign up to receive a free e-book, “Rainer on Evangelism.” “We hope this will give church leaders a reason to lead their churches to be evangelistic and give those in the congregations resources and ideas on how they can be evangelistic,” he said. (BP)
