SENT! to your neighbors: Principles & practices of relational evangelism - Softcover
SENT! explains a "soft-sell" witness style to empower rank and file believers to influence toward Christ lost persons in their personal harvest fields. To these we are sent by the Sent One, Jesus! Why not go to work every day as a "missions trip" to reach lost people around you? See the waiting harvest in your neighborhood, job site, recreation and physical fitness venues, hair and nail salons, favorite coffee shops and restaurants, family get-togethers, etc. Include yourself when you pray for missionaries - since you too are sent by the Lord of the harvest to be a "friend of sinners" in your Jerusalem. This small book presents neighborly principles and practices that effectively witness in simple daily ways that are effective but often neglected. And that's not all! The bonus under this cover is a booklet called StartUp Studies - four short proven "milk of the Word" lessons for new believers to resource a mentoring relationship that you can provide for the spiritual "newborn" following their faith-commitment to Christ. Additional resources are referenced for long term mentoring for 6-12 additional months. Both curricula - along with mentoring - successfully produce grounded believers who are effective witnesses and disciplers. Good soil multiplies fruit! Remember, if we are not on mission, it is the lost who lose. If we are on mission, the found win!

About the Author:
James Hall is the son of missionaries John and Cuba Hall, with whom he spent 8 1/2 of his growing up years in Burkina Faso, West Africa. He was active in student ministries in high school and the University of Missouri, where he received a BA in English Literature. He graduated from Covenant Theological Seminary in 1970 with a Master of Divinity. Since then he has served as Chi Alpha Director for the Illinois District Assemblies of God (6 1/2 years) and as senior pastor of Urbana (Illinois) Assembly of God (9 1/2 years). After several teaching trips to Singapore, Jim and his family spent a year on the pastoral staff of Calvary Charismatic Centre (A/G) in Singapore, where he began writing materials for new Christians. After years of careful study of the Scriptures, much thought, and countless personal witnessing and discipling exchanges, God birthed in Jim's spirit guidelines and lessons for expressing God's love and message to the lost, and lessons to guide new believers in mentoring relationship. These were published under the title The Harvester's Handbook (recently re-edited and renamed THRIVE - A Handbook for New Christians). Since 1989, Jim has answered God's call to train church members nationwide and overseas in personal evangelism and discipling new believers. In March 1992, the Halls received appointment as U.S. missionaries with the Assemblies of God and continue in this role. SENT! to your neighbors is a new resource that focuses specifically on reaching non-followers who are already in a believer's world.
