Help the 1X Evangelism Project

There is Tremendous Need among Churches
Most churches and Christian leaders believe evangelism should be a priority.  However, research shows that most Christians have not shared their faith within the past six months.  This must change.  This can change.  This will change . . . with your help.

A Proposed Solution for Churches
I have a passion to assist churches in helping their members evangelize on a regular basis.  A statement, service, and seminars are not enough -- something different is needed.  That something is an intentional strategy.   Churches need to develop churchwide personal evangelism strategies.  This is where I believe I can help.

Over the past few years I have worked on my manuscript that outlines one such strategy called "1X."  It is designed for very small churches and can be easily adapted to a church of any size.  After showing the draft to pastors and evangelism professors, I have been encouraged in that what I propose both reflects the past and offers something new.

Many have encouraged me to publish it.  However, because of the nature of traditional publishing, I must self publish.

Book title: "1X Evangelistic Outreach: A Kingdom Growth Strategy for the Local Church"

Publicist Needed
I have proudly signed a contract for traditional publishing through Tate Publishing.  However, I'm required to retain a publicist.  Any funds given will go toward that retainer.

How You Can Help
There are four ways you can help:

Donate
You can give any amount you choose or select from eight donation levels to receive various items.

Spread the Word
Share the link (www.gofundme.com/1XEvangelism) on social media, via email, or word of mouth.

Pray
Prayers are always welcome.  Pray for me, but more importantly, pray that we all can be more evangelistic.  Pray for boldness in sharing the gospel.  Pray for clarity when sharing.  Pray that God's kingdom will grow and Jesus' bride (the church) will be united in gospel-centered ministry.

Do All Three: Donate, Share, Pray
Ideally this is the best option. 

A Little About Me
My wife, Olivia, and I have been married for 15 years, and we have three children, ages 13, 4, and 3.  I hold a PhD in evangelism and have pastored and preached in multiple states for over ten years.
