Evangelism involves the ministry of listening and serving, as well as speaking. That combination communicates God's message of life in Christ in a way that meets people where they are.Harvie M. Conn alerts us to barriers that hinder such communicationbarriers that can be overcome in a Spirit-enlightened ministry of love and mercy. He discusses "righteous deeds" as a neglected but essential aspect of effective evangelism.Conn says in his preface, "My prayer is that this book will not emerge as one more exercise in blackboard evangelism, one more excuse to learn a little bit more and do a little bit less, to keep off the streets and out of the kitchen. May it direct us to the streets and not, pray God, to the study."
