Meeting Needs, Sharing Christ
By Donald A. Atkinson and Charles L. Roesel
LifeWay Press
1995
175 pages

Ministry evangelism is not difficult to define, write Donald Atkinson and Charles Roesel in Meeting Needs, Sharing Christ, nor is it anything new Ministry evangelism is simply caring for persons in the name of Christ. Its important to remember, the authors caution, that it is not simply ministry for the sake of ministry, but for the deliberate goal of verbally sharing the love of Christ.

Gods care for people in need weaves throughout scripture. And that mandate for evangelism still holds. As Christians react in love and care to the hurting, it gives credence to our words. The act of meeting a physical need is still one of the most effective ways to get an open door to talk to someone about Christ.

The student book provides questions and thought-provoking exercises to help readers understand their own involvement in ministering to others. Filled with both contemporary and scriptural examples, Meeting Needs provides solid patterns for developing ministry-oriented evangelism strategies.
