Evangelism

You don’t build a culture of evangelism with hype—you build it with habits.

Perspective shapes how we see people.
Prayer fuels our courage.
Practice grows our confidence.
Preaching keeps it in front of us.
Persistence keeps us from quitting.

The pressure is off. The mission remains!

Thousands of gospel cards were handed out to World Cup fans in Seattle this week. Here’s what happened.

The streets were packed with jerseys from 48 nations. And right in the middle of it - a team of churches, handing one little card to every person who walked by.

Not a ticket. Not a flyer. A name.

Hope has a name. His name is Jesus!

Pastor Edwardo from New Hope Church in Creswell, Oregon, drove his people to Seattle for this. Churches from the Northwest Baptist Convention and the Hawaii Baptist Convention showed up together. And thousands of people left with something they didn’t have before.

A drowning person rarely focuses on saving someone else.

Pastors and ministry leaders know the mission matters.
But when your soul is depleted, your family is struggling, or discouragement has taken root, it`s difficult to lead others toward evangelism.

Healthy leaders build healthy churches. ⛪

Before examining your church`s evangelism culture, examine yourself:

• How is your soul?
• How is your family?
• How is your walk with Christ?

Evangelism doesn`t start with a program.

It starts with a leader who is healthy enough to lead others on mission.

🎉 One day. Countless connections. Eternal impact.

Day 5 of Crossover was packed with opportunities to serve and engage the community—from pickleball tournaments and sports camps to block parties, a daddy-daughter dance, and a powerful student rally. 🏓🏀🎈💃🔥

Every event created space for relationships to be built, conversations about faith to happen, and people to experience the love of Christ in a real way.

As churches continue to meet people where they are, we`re seeing God use simple moments to make an extraordinary impact across the city. 🙌❤️

💧 It started with VBS… and ended in baptism. 🙌

Day 4 of Crossover was a powerful reminder that God is working through the next generation.

Across the city, kids filled VBS campuses with excitement, learning about Jesus through games, worship, Bible lessons, and meaningful conversations. 📖🎉

At one church, the week culminated in baptisms as children who placed their faith in Christ publicly celebrated their new life in Him. ❤️

What an incredible picture of why we do this—sharing the Gospel and seeing lives transformed for eternity!

#Crossover26 #SBC26

🙏 The most important part of Crossover isn`t the sports camps, VBS, or outreach events.

It`s the prayers behind them.

Before the first conversation is shared, before the first child arrives at camp, and before the first gospel invitation is given, God`s people are gathering to pray.

Churches across North America are asking God to move in powerful ways, open hearts to the Gospel, and transform lives through every outreach opportunity. ❤️

Join us in praying for Crossover as we believe God can do more than we could ever ask or imagine. #Crossover26 #SBC26
