BOOK 27 Evangelism Fitness Test

A SAMPLE OF ENDORESMENTS The following are some of the endorsements for Julian’s 900+ page book called Evangelism: Strategies from Heaven In the War for Souls. Some people are daunted by such a big book so Julian made a small book out of each chapter of the 900+ page book. What you are about to read is just one of the chapters of the larger work.

David Cole, YWAM Campaigns Asia/Pacific Board of Regents Chairman University of the Nations.

“This book is one of the most in depth looks at what Evangelism really is (and what it isn’t) that I believe has been written in the last century. I have been so inspired in my own calling through its content and often use it as a text book for teaching and imparting to young leaders in YWAM training courses as well as throughout other parts of the Body of Christ. Thank you Julian not only for such a valuable resource as well as for modeling the outworking of its content in your own life over the past few decades.”

Pastor Mike Smith, Melbourne, Australia

“An incredible book that all pastors should read. I have been a Christian for 28 years and a pastor for many years, and when I picked up this book, I thought, I doubt this will teach me anything new about evangelism. I was so wrong. It has revolutionised my thinking.

This is an incredible book that all pastors should read.”

Grant Buchanan LLB, B.Com, Auckland

“The best book I have ever read.

I am a solicitor (54) and a partner in a law practice.

I unhesitatingly give my endorsement for Julian s book.

Indeed, I would rate it as the best book that I have ever read!”

Grant Buchanan LLB, B.Com, Auckland

Michael Angulo, Pastor and Church Leader

“Truly a work of Ministerial art. I really like this book and every true evangelist will love it also. YOU ARE NOT GOING TO PUT IT DOWN, BUT WILL BE THINKING WHEN YOU ARE GOING TO READ IT AGAIN! A truly very well written book with good retrospective learning ideas. No true evangelist should be without this book. It is worth what it is worth and it will catapult you into great, deliberate PROVEN, ministry approach. Great book and I highly recommend it. Get this one, you won’t be disappointed!”

Julian Batchelor, M.ed (Hons), B.Th, Dip.T’Ching

Acknowledgements I owe a lot of thanks to a lot of people for the production of this Mini Series: Sheryl Kampenhout, who transferred a mountain of material from Power Point shows into Word documents and who served and encouraged me in such a loving and kind way; to Matthew Old, a faithful friend and fellow evangelist, who has been a Barnabas. He reached out his hands when the hills seemed steepest, loved me in spite of my failures, stimulated me with his sharp mind, and made me laugh when I wanted to cry; to Janice Teo, and her intercessory prayer team who are as vital to the ministry I direct as the heart is to the body; to the team of editors, including Ken Francis and Julie Belding; to all the financial supporters who have given so generously to me over the years. I especially want to thank Paul and Tina Richards, of Club Physical, owners of a gymnasium chain in Auckland, New Zealand, and Derek van Beynen, who have faithfully sponsored my ministry for over a decade. Few people have the privilege of being able to leave secular work to write and produce resources to further the cause of the evangelisation of the world, and to motivate and equip the Church to do the same. You, and all my other financial supporters, have made this possible; to those I live with who have not seen me for years because I have been locked away in my office writing, I give my sincere thanks. Special thanks to Neil Pollock. To Jenny Windeyer, the graphic artist, who designed the cover of the original 800 page book (which we’ve turned into this Mini Series), and to Jenny’s husband Drew for going beyond the call of duty so that Jenny could focus on this project; to faithful Bernie Anderson who has sacrificed and given way beyond what a leader would expect of a dedicated co-worker; to Eleanor Goodall and Sue and George Jeffrey who epitomise love and true friendship; to the team at ESI for keeping all the various aspects of the evangelism ministry moving forwards whilst I directed most of my time to write this Mini Book Series; for Dr Martyn Bowis who did all the programming for the electronic version of the gospel called “Proclaim it!”; for Henoch Kloosterboeror for producing all the brilliant

drawings; Dr David Stewart, retired Principal of the Bible College of New Zealand for nearly two decades of encouragement and mentoring; Denise James and Anne Bartley, staff at the Bible College of New Zealand for helping with research; all those who have helped proof read the manuscript and given comment, particularly Dr Marie Sewell, Gill Donald, Gill Lukey, Donna Hansen, Ainslie Vines, Ann Hunter, and Miriam and Ted Martin; to the academic staff of the Bible College of New Zealand for giving me a grounding in theology; for all those who have given financially and sacrificially to pay for specific aspects of the publishing of this Mini Book Series; for my friend Ray Comfort, for his inspiration and encouragement.

There are few evangelists today who have journeyed on the road of trial and tribulation to achieve breakthrough as Ray Comfort. For John Stott, the academic evangelist for his coaching and input via his many books.

For all the people who we have trained in evangelism around the world who are out there doing it – you are the heroes in the battle for souls; for the many hundreds of pastors, leaders, and lay Christians around the globe who have contributed to my life as a Christian, and to this Mini Book Series; and finally, I thank Jesus Christ, whose amazing grace and love has inspired and kept me. All the revelations in this Mini Book Library about evangelism and the gospel were given by Him – to Him be all the glory.

How To Read The Mini Books In This Library This Mini Book is one of a Library of 27 Mini Books. The Library is a detailed critique of the battle between light and darkness which is relentlessly raging all over the earth for the souls of men and women.

The insights and revelations in each Mini Book are hierarchical i.e.

Mini Book Two builds upon Mini Book One, Mini Book Three upon Mini Books One and Two, and so on. Hence, the ideal is to try and read all the Mini Books in the library in sequence. If you skip Mini Books, or even parts of Mini Books, you might miss something vital, and open yourself to misunderstanding or even defeat.

Having said this, after you have read Mini Books One to Seven, which are the foundational books in the Library, each Mini Book is designed to stand alone. So, read Books One to Seven first. This is essential.

With respect to evangelism, if you follow the advice I am giving here in the pages of each Mini Book, you’ll position yourself perfectly to be used by the Holy Spirit to glorify Jesus in ways you’d not imagined possible. How so? Read the 27 Mini Books in the library and find out.

Along with Mini Books 1-7, I suggest you also purchase Mini Book 27, which is the “Evangelism Fitness Test.” This is a diagnostic survey which will tell you the extent to which you have been unwittingly influenced by the devil with respect to evangelism. Sit this test before you read anything. Then do the same test again after you have read all the Mini Books to check to see if all his devices have been thoroughly purged from your mind!

The Evangelism Fitness Test

The Evangelism Fitness Test (EFT) Please take this test before and after you have read this Mini Book Series . My prayer is that as a result of your reading, your scores before and after will be remarkably different. I want the Mini Book Series to make you supremely fit to enter the battle for souls for the glory of God! You will remember in the Mini Book One, an analogy was drawn between evangelism and the smooth functioning of a car. I pointed out that to start an average car, and keep it going smoothly, hundreds of car parts must synchronise and work together perfectly.

If just one critical part malfunctions (e.g. the fuel pump), the car stops. From this analogy it’s easy to see that not all parts are critical (e.g. the windscreen wiper on the passenger’s side). But, when all parts are working perfectly, the car feels and drives like new. By using this analogy, I want you to see the parallels with evangelism.

Every person in your church is like a car, and every device of the devil will cause any of the cars in your church to malfunction. If you can eliminate all the malfunctions in all the cars, they will all purr. If we eliminate all the devil’s devices, the Christians in our church will begin to fly in evangelism, and you will have helped turn the tide in the battle for souls. The more devilish devices you 7

identify and eliminate, the better your chance of mobilising all the people in your church for evangelism. And the more people in your church who purr in evangelism, the better the chance of creating a truly explosive evangelistic church! The ideal is to have everyone in our church score 100 percent. Please be aware that people in your church who score poorly can negatively affect the evangelism performance of others in the church.

The intention of the EBFT test is to diagnose your thinking about evangelism. If I can help you think biblically about evangelism, there is a greater chance that you will activate for it personally.

When you take this test for the first time, many of the terms and phrases used will be unfamiliar to you. Please try to answer the questions anyway. When you get to the end of the Mini Book Series and re-sit the same test, I think you will be pleasantly surprised at how your reading has prepared you to activate for personal evangelism in the war for souls.

Critical questions: Some questions are like the critical parts of a car. If you get these wrong your car just won’t start i.e. you’ll have little chance of mobilising yourself for personal evangelism. If you are a leader, the consequences of getting a critical question wrong are more severe.

Each of the critical questions is worth 5 points, so take special care when you see these.

Not so critical questions: Other questions are, like the windscreen wiper on the passenger’s side, not so critical. If you get one or two of these questions wrong, they will still affect the performance of your car but they will not stop it completely. However, if you get a number wrong (say more than five), your evangelism car will grind to a complete stop in no time.

Each of these questions varies in weighting from 1 to 5. The higher the score, the more serious is the potential problem for evangelism.

8

Proviso: Having said this, I think all the questions ought to have a five point rating! As you read through the questions, I am sure you will agree.

So please don’t get hung up on a particular weighting. You are allowed to disagree with the rating I have given each question.

Instructions: Answer each question in sequence, by giving your first gut response. Place a tick in one of the boxes provided for each question.

For example: 2.

If we don’t feel particularly victorious in our Christian lives, we cannot proclaim the gospel effectively.

Agree

Disagree

At the end, mark your test using the answer sheet provided. You will notice when you are marking that we have pointed out (made bold) the critical questions (i.e. the questions that are like the fuel pump on your car). If you fail any questions, please refer to the appropriate Mini Book for clarification. The appropriate sections are noted beside each question in the answer section.

The answers to some questions might not be clear cut. With these questions, place a tick in the box which you believe is either mostly right or mostly wrong, or with which you generally agree or generally disagree.

What to do if you did not achieve a perfect score: Please go back to the appropriate parts of the Mini Book Series for clarification and try to work towards a perfect score. If you are a leader of a church or Christian organisation, aim to bring all your people to the place where they receive a perfect score.

We have produced home group studies on DVD, with workbooks, to help you bring your whole church to the place where they are thinking biblically about evangelism. The studies conclude with practical training in how to evangelise. If you would like to purchase a copy of these, please go to www.esisite.com or email to julianbatchelor@xtra.co.nz. Tracts, tools, and teaching DVDs are also available to help you deliver the gospel lovingly, graciously, and uncompromisingly. A copy of the Evangelism Fitness Test can be downloaded from www.esisite.com.
