From the Field, For the Field
The Office of Evangelism of the PCUSA has a new and very helpful website. It's called "From the Field, For the Field." This page is a collection of great evangelism ideas, gathered from a variety of churches and denominations. It's well worth a visit on a regular basis. You can also send in some of your best evangelism ideas.
Good News
The Evangelism and Witness program area of our denomination publishes a quarterly newsletter with lots of helpful information for evangelism. It's called, appropriately enough, Good News.
The most recent issue of Good News contains some fascinating information about what distinguishes growing PCUSA churches from those that aren't growing.
You can download issues in a PDF form from the PCUSA website.
