Abstract

In this doctoral project, I set out to equip selected members of First Baptist Church in Talladega, Alabama, with biblical, theological, and practical training in personal evangelism. I aimed to address the specific obstacles that keep many members from engaging in personal evangelism conversations and to encourage and prepare them to obey this God-given task. I gathered and analyzed internal data, which clearly showed a lack of evangelistic engagement within the church. I carried out the project in three phases: research, curriculum development, and equipping courses. During the research phase, I studied the Scriptures along with trusted extra-biblical sources, analyzed both external and internal data, and used pre- and postcourse surveys to assess the selected participants. In the curriculum development phase, I synthesized the information I gathered to create lessons that balanced sound doctrine with practical application. I then taught the equipping courses over eight sessions, using a Sunday evening discipleship class format.
