Abstract

This project was designed to train pastors and church leaders in the Brazilian 'Gaucho' culture to train their church members in principles of relational or 'lifestyle' evangelism. The director of the project prepared the training material which presented evangelism as a process rather than as a point of decision. Following an eight-hour training clinic, fifteen pastors and church leaders returned to their congregations to conduct a six-week training program. This training involved discovering circles of influence, intercession, repairing broken or unhealthy relationships, counseling, and keeping a daily journal of witnessing contacts and intercessory prayer requests. A pre- and a post-training survey as well as weekly reports from participants were used to measure the increase in the number of witnessing contacts and the development of new relationships. Results revealed that the training program produced positive lifestyle changes in the majority of participants.
