Overview

“Few could read this book without being simultaneously convicted and encouraged in our evangelistic task.” —Dr. Reuben Bredenhof, Professor of Ministry and Mission, Canadian Reformed Theological Seminary.

“Sadly, the practice of personal evangelism is sometimes understood today as entirely the duty of ‘professional’ Christians, pastors, elders, seminary professors, missionaries, evangelists, and the like. But as Dr. Najapfour contends, sharing the gospel is an essential part of the Christian life and therefore the responsibility of every Christian.” —Dr. John W. Tweeddale, Vice President of Academics, Reformation Bible College, Florida.

Praise for Every Christian Is an Evangelist

Reading this book will help you become a more faithful witness of Christ. After defining the terms, Dr. Najapfour first persuasively encourages us to share the gospel with unbelievers. Then he pastorally removes our excesses for not evangelizing more faithfully. Our greatest hindrance is often personal motivation. This book, which is thoroughly Reformed, will help resolve that problem.

—Dr. Brian A. DeVries, Principal of Mukhanyo Theological College, South Africa

What makes Dr. Najapfour’s loving and compelling exhortation to evangelize so credible is that he consistently practices what he preaches! He irrefutably argues from Scripture that every Christian is called to communicate Christ’s gospel to his or her perishing neighbor. May God use this booklet to awaken us to engage prayerfully, willingly, and consistently in our much-neglected calling.

—Rev. Bartel Elshout, pastor of Kalamazoo Reformed Church, Michigan

Simple yet profound, this book is indeed evangelism for everyone. Every believer should always take time to rehearse the simplicity and profundity of the gospel. One way is by letting the heart-cry of this book permeate the totality of our redeemed humanity to be enthused and satisfied as gospel-mouthpieces. Reading brings tons of encouragement and warning.

—Rev. Leonardo F. Galanza Jr., President of the Center for Biblical Studies, the Philippines
