Evangelism Training Course - 7BillionHarvest

Week 1: Kickstart — Definition of Evangelism

Foundation: What is Evangelism and Why Every Believer is Called

📋 Introduction

Evangelism is the call of every believer — to share the good news of Jesus Christ with the world. In this first week, we explore what evangelism means, why it matters, and how each of us can take part in the Great Commission.

📖 Key Scriptures

Acts 1:8 (KJV)

"But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth."

John 3:17 (KJV)

"For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved."

Matthew 28:18–20 (KJV)

"And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen."

Luke 4:18–19 (KJV)

"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord."
