STEP 1STEP 1: “Altar call : “Altar call ministry” ministry”

- Be ready with your Bible

- Take them to a secluded spot

STEP 1STEP 1: “Altar call : “Altar call ministry”ministry” - Do not assume anything about

their spiritual condition: Ask specific and direct questions before sharing the gospel. EXAMPLE:

(1) May I ask you why you came to the altar? (2) Are you saved? (3) Are you a Christian? (4) Would you like to accept Jesus Christ as your

personal saviour RIGHT NOW? (5) Would you allow me to show you from the

Bible how you can be saved?

- Depending on their answer or their need; then you meet them where they are.

- Create opportunity for evangelism if that was not their desire; however do not push it.

STEP 1STEP 1: “Altar call : “Altar call ministry”ministry”

STEP 2STEP 2: Leading someone to the : Leading someone to the LordLord- Present the gospel in a clear, comprehensive yet concise way

- Do not be in a rush nor should you engage in a sermon

- Whatever gospel outline you choose to present, you need to check periodically both for understanding and acceptance of what is being said. EXAMPLE of questions:

(1) Am I being clear? (2) Does that make sense to you? (3) Do you understand what I just said? (4) Do you accept what the Bible just said? (5) Do you believe what this verse says? (6) What do you understand this verse to

mean?

STEP 2STEP 2: Leading someone to the : Leading someone to the LordLord

- Clarify any significant issue, word, thought or idea that they might be misunderstanding before moving on in your presentation.

STEP 2STEP 2: Leading someone to the : Leading someone to the LordLord

Because there are so many influences and beliefs systems out there, they might be clouded by some other concept in their mind. Hence, sometimes, you may have to dig a little deeper by checking and clarifying what they think is a means of salvation or way to heaven.

STEP 2STEP 2: Leading someone to the : Leading someone to the LordLord

NOTE: Please do not assume that because you gave a clear presentation of the gospel that they accept it as the only way to be saved. In their minds it may be just “one of” or “part of” a way to get saved. (Ex. Baptism, works, tongues, etc.)

STEP 2STEP 2: Leading someone to the : Leading someone to the LordLord

- Having cleared the air; invite them to make a decision. State clearly what this process entails and if necessary briefly reiterate what they are about to commit to. Give them opportunity to respond by asking questions like:

(1) If this is what you want to do we can pray to

God right now for salvation? (2) Are you ready to accept Jesus as your saviour

right now? (3) Since you understand what was said, would

you like to trust Jesus for eternal life right now?

STEP 2STEP 2: Leading someone to the : Leading someone to the LordLord

NOTE: The decision time is the most crucial point; therefore they need to be sure of what they are doing so it wouldn’t hurt to ask them in detail:

(1) Are you willing to repent of your sins? (2) Are you willing to give God control of

your life?(3) Are you willing to transfer your trust

to God?

STEP 2STEP 2: Leading someone to the : Leading someone to the LordLord

Once there is consent then give them the option to pray for themselves (preferably aloud) or pray by repeating after you.
