Leave a Comment / Evangelism, Blog / BC Net

Few books have impacted my approach to campus ministry more than Robert Coleman’s The Master Plan of Evangelism. Don’t let the title fool you. It’s not just another book on evangelism.

Leave a Comment / Blog, Evangelism / BC Net

Early in my ministry, I was invited with some of my friends to join them doing direct evangelism on South Street in Philly during Friday nights.
