Clear Focus Evangelism Pt 2 - Show me how to evangelize

Clear Focus evangelism part 2 show me how to evangelize YouTube there not exactly sure what happened whether it's the network here on this side or something to do with with the hangouts and so on but anyway glad to be back want to get this thing rolling. just as soon as possible and well my mind is still moving in this direction and try to get everything caught up to speed now what we've covered us for are the first to portions I love up this approach that I'm using here in Africa thats that honestly it's just working so very well for us arm and I'm not telling you that this is the answer every word or my telling you have the answer period I'm just telling you we have a beginning here that is very very promising okay and basically what we're doing here if you look at this you've got three concentric circles and if you focus it properly right in the very middle that's the sweet spot where we want to be with everything pardon my notes all around the edges a year I was a plan on using this particular part but up wait we talk about the elf which is the framework or if you will the world view of the individual how you correct that well the answers real fast I'll we need to give them an a a biblical worldview now whether you're in america South America Asia here in in africa is a matter the world view the people we work with is painted and skewed and needs to be changed can you do that you take them back to the word I got you taken back to the book at Genesis at the very beginning of everything and you work forward from there saw things I found that are very very effective are are dealing with the creation how God made everything everything is answerable to him everything got made was good I'll alternately something bad happened what was that bad it was the same in the book of Genesis chapter 2 arm weaken we can talk all night about these things and how to correct the world thinking worldview thinking the framework from which people reference the world and it doesn't matter where we come from week all have bit some truth up bits and pieces of truth a.m. we also have bits and pieces of error and the air has to be corrected they already do that with the World Cup so we bring them to the word I got in use this beginning approach now if you something like new tribes approach I forget it's like 50 some lessons they could take you for I it could take a year you do a lesson awake obviously up not a not something that we want to see have to happen so we we have to be asking ok is there a is there a better way I believe there is and that is sup to approach it with this frame approach that we're talking about I can't get too far into that because the time but then second we went on to talk about the seed if you will now the scene is the gospel itself and as you plant the gospel now as you point the gospel you're telling people about cm you're telling people about to about the fact that they cannot redeem themselves you're dealing with the with the issues up the nest necessity receiving Christ that Christ alone is the one who saves I'll that self effort cannot cannot do anything to get us right with God these concepts that not only got to be taught not just a verse given to a person but they have to grasp it M and the only way to do that is what we're going to talk about here just moment in my view is to bring him the equation love the Q and so up to now what we've talked about are the two revelations there must be revelation people cannot get saved apart from the revelation up got that's why God gave us Bible and you hire to the Bible teachers Bible witnesses Bible preachers as we take the true we declare the truth to others now having said all that the scene becomes the knowledge that gives them the basis to call upon Christ is our sake now if I stop here this is where the the framework the seed if you will the the understanding the backdrop and the knowledge up the truth those two things they're wonderful and their absolutely necessary and I think we grasp that do good degree in america I think we're we're missing a though is the exponential part that multiplies these two added this multiplies these into a power way beyond themselves the Q why is it necessary let me just let me just say here I the Q is what is going to to put the gospel am and the revelation comes true on steroids as we go to deal with people this is where things become so very powerful this this is a very different approach now let me just caution you the real quick it's very different than what we do in the average approach in Christianity Today and in in a bit about his life okay now just because it's unusual for us doesn't mean that it's unusual in fact its usual for Jesus crutch somewhere along the line I think we've missed what Jesus yet and because of that we've missed the opportunity to connect with people's lives now I'm not saying the gospel is a powerful because it is but when you combine it the the message that jesus at with the method that Jesus had the the whole message takes off in an exploding kinda way the Q whiteness well because first loss can make you interesting you say what yeah it's gonna make you interesting your man can a person be won't talk to I'll tell you why just moments I'll second is going to uncover their wrong beliefs instead are you wondering what they thinkin in some help putting everybody into some kinda very a mold and saying everybody's likely yes everybody in africa is not saying everybody in the same tribe is not the same everybody in the same the same village is not safe and everybody in the same family is not saying everybody doesn't think I'll exactly like so how you uncover watch the Q that's the cue exactly am this is what's going to clarify what needs to be addressed they the ability to use the Q is what turns the lights on for the individual and you can I mean you can literally see it when the lights come on their eyes pop open and they get excited they're sharing truce with you that you would have never heard anywhere else its up it's been kinda funny because I often we'll be talking to an African and I'll say something about what I know about their culture and they look at me like where'd you hear that and also will you tell me is that true or not yes white men aren't supposed to know that I do that quite often why do I hear because an African told me why detail me because I put the cue in my question okay here we go here's our equation again alright the F plus the else times the Q is what gives is clear focused evangelism okay the Q what does it stand for here we go see if I can get that show up there you go cue you he nasty questions that uncover and expose secret thoughts questions that uncovered expose secret thoughts won the big things here in Africa secrets everybody has secrets are but it keeps secrets in the world but it is a specially a a up unspoken often unspoken part African life everybody has their secrets are families have their secrets and you're not allowed you're not supposed to be telling your secrets to anybody else and so you hide things from people now when it when you get into the culture like the house and as a white man you're coming in to deal with Africans and in your starting to talk to them about heart matters they feel like they have to hide their secrets from how do you get to the secrets well you see that's where the questions coming up do you know Jesus had two favorite methods a peachy if you go back through the four Gospels you notice these two show it over in over and over again the first one the first one is parents' you could have guessed that parables are earthly stories that tell a heavenly message that one way to describe it there's other ways I'll in not a perfect definition but a good one and up what what I've done is in this particular book scripture diagram graphics I've gone through not taken simple drawings that people could watch look at and learn from and with those simple drawings we convey truth and week we develop that book and this is what I'm gonna give you at the end to this okay i'll make it available for short while I was gonna make it only for those live but obviously with this link now that's kinda messed me up a little bit here I'll but this material you know was developed to relate to people cross cultural because even though they speak English they don't speak it well and you don't always connect as well so I wanted to develop something that would work and that's what we did I i went to work on this develop some these drawings we saw that they were working exceptionally well we're talkin several years ago before I ever moved here but I was here doing some work and I went back to America and i gather some the folks in our church and we began to work together and brainstorm and put together um these these drawings to illustrate a gospel truths that we wanted to get communicated people and so that's what we did with those so parables are good you can use parables you can use stories if you will they're very very good the second thing that Jesus used in this one I think even more than purpose if you look carefully Jesus used questions to be exact Jesus use 287 questions eat use a lot have questions now you gotta wonder okay what the world is a good I see asking questions was it because he didn't know the answer no minno Jesus asked questions because she didn't know the answer and he wanted to know what the answer was the other person would get he wanted they'll to confess to speak what was in their heart why did God regard to the mascara where r Taylor it wasn't because God could find Adam God wanted have to admit where he was questions make us think questions access the heart questions cause us to clearly reason through what we're saying questions makers admit the truth that may be otherwise we can I wanna very way in the back cover art not be able to to confront so what what we've done is with questions we've with actually uncovered the thinking love africans here and got them to admit where they are admit what they think and to talk through and when they tell us something even if it's if it's anti biblical I mean against the Bible I don't go what her but don't do that I listen to what they're saying because it gives me a clue into their heart clue into the way their reasoning and then I know how to go back in in diggin the scripture and find answers from God's Word that will ensure those problems in their life this is a hard thing for an american learn because we're used to doing all the talking like I'm doing right now we're used to doing all the talking and what we need to do is we need to stop and we ask questions we need to listen and we need to learn and when you do that you gonna become popular because most people especially here in Africa they're not used to white people stop and listen to to value their opinion and then second when you listen you begin to be aware of their thinking their reasoning on the way they're coming out things and you can begin the jetway biblically show them what got sales and bring them to this place where they have to bring their thoughts against God's thoughts and decide will accept God's Word or are they going to hold what they think and this is where the wall start come down so what are the benefits of asking questions and and there's a there's actually a a system love asking questions they've done properly will unlock the thing came a.m. teach the truth to the person at the same time it is incredibly simple but difficult if you're an american like me who's used to doing all the doc see after rain yourself in and learn a whole new way the benefits are you help they'll get clearer on what they understand and you get clear on what they understand both love you get clear do they really understand they clear n you get clear it helps them to think clearly helps them to get their thoughts put together I how many times I have thoughts in my head and as I begin to talk them out with someone close friend a my wife someone else as I blame them out they begin to jail for me and I began to see flaws in summer my thinking and fix it and and put it back together and it becomes clearer for me that's exactly what happens when you're asking questions and that causes them to face the truth as they begin to to the ask questions what did God say here what does that mean how does that apply to your life they begin to face those questions and realize this is true and it any operates on biblical wisdom now I said that the framework gives us a backdrop with understanding from the book proverbs the seat of the gospel the gospel truths we communicate they give us knowledge on which we can act income the Crites but questions bring about wisdom because we understand how to take the the understanding and knowledge and put it into practice what's the next step above what I need to do now understanding so here it is here's our form take a look F plus a house put on steroids multiplied by Q gives us clear focused evangelists now if you watch here it's kinda like the optometrist who dials a.m. the different lenses until he it's just the perfect fit for our eyes to be able to see properly the foundation love the framework this framework that we're building here to give them my world perspective a world view that's proper in right help slim understand the truth the gospel but they ask enough questions jails these truths together and makes them super powerful so that they Paris to the very heart of the individual and cause the individual give serious thought to the personal Jesus Christ what I'm saying he was real simple I'm same to you that I think these are the answers to bring people to face the gospel message and make it clear cut decision now I think that I've got some some thoughts and and they are thoughts about truce under the framework that need to be communicated and crews under the sea the need to be communicated I think they're thoroughly be able biblical however in every culture there are going to the nuances and and angles that need to be seen and understood by the Evangelist and those will only be understood through asking good clear questions that help in like new so that you can help them and then you'll begin to see a pattern in your society other things that need to be covered and you can literally bill like I have done for your in Africa in the southern part of africa certainly um but I've I've built certain lessons that I feel like our are critical for most everybody now individual issues will come up and we can we can maneuver and fix those as we go but we hit the ball cover them by being able to design this training in just the right way such basically what clear focused evangelism use now I'd like to do two things so K first ball I said at the beginning a weapon are the one that got cut off I said I was going to give you a gift and I still AM is going to be that book are curious structure diagram graphics and had night I can't give you a paper copy of it but I can give you a PDF copy that you can download and the only thing I'd ask is please don't pass a PDF around the world okay um you can you can have a copy the PDF for your own uses and if you're on a mission field and you want to use it with a summer your people that you're training that's fine um you could do that but honestly this this book will help you in in the culture even in america I've used it with doctors lawyers you may say all that's too simple know how it really is a doctors and lawyers I've seen them they they love it I've used it with Alzheimer's patients successfully now not people deep in alzheimer's but at the beginning stages are having trouble grasping druze it cuts across that M and is helpful for them so I highly recommend this book for you and up then here's here's the address that you need to go to okay its purpose coaching blog dot com and oh here it is OK this one here SDG book scripture diagram graphics book FDG book alright at the end of purpose coaching blog dot com *** d GE book be oh okay alright and if you type that in you could download that book arm freight charge take it and use it please okay now you may ask okay what do I do now what's my next step now I wish brother Peyton was here to be a last question because I know he's probably got several that would help clarify this but to you've got a question go ahead send it to me let me say here some things that you can do for small you can download the book can go out witness folks number two let me let me talking about a workshop here are you interested maybe your missionary or pastor you're interested in pursuing this little further um I think I could bring you along im in understanding and %uh cut your learning curve down a little bit a specially with the questions gotta lotta insights their on how to use questions in a way that will get to the heart for people now let me say this will if we're going to get together and do this in a small group and it will be in only be a small group but there's gotta be a few people that are willing to do this and number two can be too large group it's gonna be smaller third you're gonna have to be willing to participate see you would be live on a call like the one that died on his are but we give it a shot say we could make it work with a few other us and you're going to be alive and participating and get recorded and if you're willing to do that and be part of that in helping to develop this material so we can help other missionaries and and ministries around the world then I'd be very willing to do that if we can't get a small group together just one person is a really work well um but a small group might be willing to do and if you're willing to do that in a public enough matter that we could actually recorded and you're going to interact with us we do it as a group then I would be very much interested in there real simple to get ahold a me I'll right my email address here PDT hammett at gmail dot com some ask what's the P stand for well it used to be pastor but I'm not a faster and more and now missionary so it stands for passion airy passion airy d Douglas hemet alright at gmail dot com just drop me an email let me know and if you're interested in in pursuing so workshop together maybe three four sessions together and out we'll see if we can put something together if we do it in it would have to start about three weeks I'm very busy right now just have group guys come in forget reduce some some heavy evangelism in the villages here over the next two weeks so it be at least three weeks before I could get to it but would be very interested in doing that with you try and pass on what little bit I understand but even more sharpening my iron with your I'm so that we in turn could all get better and be more effective with the gospel you say how effective is this well here's what we found thus far I told you we were around 18 percent retention rate when I first came here to the field the people have been dealt with and and most people came to deal with people were very careful in how they dealt with folks we're not talking about folks just coming in here wish Boom *** trying to lead people to you know 123 Prix after me can step that wasn't going on but it wasn't affected because we weren't reaching hearts where we now are in using this approach is pushing about eighty eight-percent retention rate now that retention rate has not been tested long-term and it's not been tested with dozens and dozens of people so it's a small group of people about just under a dozen people and and we're we're only talking for a few months so we're not at the point being able say they stuck around for a year but I'm telling you the the response rate right now is incredibly good in the states my retention rate was about eighty percent it looks like we should be able to hang in there around that around that a male am NOT I am very very encouraged at this point I see no reason why this approach could not be used in any culture with adjustments for their particular needs in there in that people grew so without all say if you're interested in workshop there will not be a part of it work with us 34 sessions drop me an email be glad to talk with you about that sorry about this getting cut off will leave the book offer open for all let's say let's say a week okay and then I'm going to shut it off in if you go to that Lake it'll end up taking over there where you have to buy I'm sorry about that but can't leave it up forever to just give it away okay god bless you thanks so much for Clear Focus evangelism part 2 show me how to evangelize
