Paid Evangelists

There is a real need for local evangelists here in Australia. Churches pay to send missionaries out, but are they paying to support local evangelists? The following is a documented concept for local evangelists to gain financial support within Australia.

In order to recognise and appreciate a solution, it is worthwhile to first understand the problem. The problem is that many evangelists go out for 2 or 3 hours one night per week after work to evangelise in the streets. This is at the end of their day when they are not at their best. They give their best to their employer or their own business and give the exhausted left-overs to their God and the lost.

Churches that hold evangelistic events do their best to promote the events in the community or by asking Church-goers to invite friends. Unfortunately, these events rarely attract many of the lost. There may be a handful of non-Christians who attend, but the majority of attendees and converts are usually Christians and back-slidden church-goers. As a result there is usually little effect in the community.

Why aren’t there many full time evangelists within Christian circles? What is the solution?
