What You'll Hear:
1. Know Your Motivation - saw Rusty Thomas preach on the
doctrine of blood guiltiness at Herald Society which was
included in the video Babies are Murdered Here
https://youtu.be/dxDyfSHEq5g, it revealed that many there didn't
have the right motivations, are you there just to be seen or make
Youtube videos?
2. Study and Be Ready - watch YouTube videos, know 3 verses
from different locations (Old and New Testament) on each
point, know the Gospel, start with sin and judgment. You can
take things going on around you and use that, e.g. and the statue
of the unknown god or ambulance driving by. If you record
your own talks you can use this to study from. Watch body
language. You can simply read scripture.
3. Good locations vs bad locations - you need crowds of
people, like an event or large gathering in your town. A
baseball stadium outside. Best to have a partner to intervene or
hand out tracts or bibles. Bad is where it's too noisy or where
there's a lot of drinking and intoxication or protesting.
Know how the sound is.
4. If possible use amplification - you want to be heard not be
yelling, you want a tone of compassion. Use a 24Watt Aker
amp. You can train your voice to be louder.
5. Learn and know the law - your rights of free speech, sound
ordinances. If Police are called out you need to know where the
easements are. Police are trying to diffuse the
situation. Stand your ground, but be respectful and don't be
confrontational.
6. Use a step to elevate yourself
7. Record yourself - get a Gopro camera (or Copcam).
People will be more reserved. You can watch it later and
learn from it.
8. If possible don't go alone - having a partner is motivating
and safer. You can rotate between preaching and handing out
tracts.
9. Think about what to give away - homeless people will come
up to you, so you may want to have snacks, or gift cards to give
away. Have tracts and Bibles.
10. Think about the weather
11. Watch out for friendly fire - often it's a false convert
who challenges you and claims to be a believer. They may be a
drive-by. Ask them how long they've been there.
12. Hecklers - they can draw a crowd. People like
commotion. This allows you to exercise patience and to reach more
people.
13. Apologetics - do your studying. Learn how to debate
others and use logic and reasoning. See the book Tactics by
Greg Koukl. See list of top ten Logical Fallacies
14. Don't Interrupt your partner - it appears you're ganging
up on someone
See Ray Comfort's Way of the Master course and his books and
videos
You can order Bibles with blank pages with your notes, have
tabs ready
A growing area of preaching it outside of abortion
clinics. Don't start out there.

Evangelism is a different bond because you're in the battle
together
It brings together different denominations
