Why does open-air evangelism get put on the shelves in churches and academic institutions?

·        Open-air evangelism covers many different types of evangelism:

o   Open-air preaching

o   One-on-one conversation

o   Tract distribution

o   Bible distribution

2.     What evangelism is not: When I say evangelism, I don't mean doing good things like feeding the needy, inviting people to church, and building a wheelchair ramp. (more on this later on in the podcast. )

·        These things can be a means to an end. That gets us to a place to do evangelism, but they are not evangelism.

·        Evangelism is sharing or proclaiming the good news: God is our creator, we are sinful, Jesus came to resolve our issues, and we must repent and believe.

3.     Educational institutions are looking for those who have the gift of teaching.

4.     Eph 4:11 difference between teacher and evangelist

5.     Most who are evangelists do not seek an education this way

a.     Here is why we should seek an education:

                                                             I.      We have been given the most important message, and we must be able to articulate it on a very high level as best as we can with the intelligence that God has given us.

6.     What is the role of the Seminary and the church?

7.     Most churches do not prioritize evangelism, and many will never have an open-air preacher or do open-air evangelism because their view of evangelism is not entirely accurate according to the Bible.

8.     Finally, how can this time help someone understand evangelism rightly, see the role of academia, and the role of the church? Review: What is evangelism? What is the role of academia? What is the role of the church?
