Old School Evangelism 2.0

By Stephen Bateman

Just found this interesting website: Jesus 2020.

It’s basically what would’ve happened to you if a Baptist walked up to you in the 70’s-90’s and wanted to save your soul. What’s the inherent problem?

He didn’t introduce himself.

Of course that’s the smaller issue in a bigger problem: I don’t know him, and so how can I trust him?

P.S. I don’t hate it, I just don’t think it’s effective…
