Relational Evangelism

Starts when we get a burden for the soul of an unsaved person. It may be a friend, a relative or someone we encounter in day-to-day business. The Holy Spirit moves in our hearts and causes us to notice someone as a candidate for the Kingdom of God. If we never get such "impressions," it is useful to pray that God would give us a burden for souls. Relational evangelism takes the form of establishing lines of communication that God may choose to use to deliver the Gospel. You may be moved with compassion as you see a street person, a harried waitress, a sales clerk or a passing angry motorist. Perhaps it begins to occur to you that your next-door neighbor is not a Christian and that realization begins to trouble you.
