Eighth Big One - Healing Evangelism

Painful Obstacle
The modern church struggles with evangelism methods that do not work. Our approach is a church meeting consisting of worship, sermon and an altar call. We use clever gimmicks to attract people, because people of the world are not comfortable going into a church.

Healing Solution
Jesus and the apostles had a very effective method of evangelism. They would go to where the Spirit was moving and pray for a sick person or cast out a demon. When a crowd gathered to see what had happened, they would preach the gospel. The evidence of God’s love and power would be standing beside them, so their gospel was hard to resist.

Maybe we should wait till we have power from on high needed for healing evangelism, rather than rushing on without it.

If we cannot heal the sick, why should people believe that our gospel is true?
