If you approach a Muslim about Jesus Christ in a city where 97% place their faith in the Islamic worldview, what would you expect to happen?
A common response after training Christ followers to use the “Laid-Back, Easy-to-Use Evangelism Method” continues to be; “We have been doing evangelism the wrong way!” I have chosen to paste in Peter’s Report on the successful Seminar with many coming from forbidden nations. Also, I created a video (1 minute, 19 seconds) with a few laughs and serious thoughts.
The Report
Blessings to you, Dr. John; I give God all the glory and honor for how He has called you in a special way. It is a unique calling to evangelize the unreached in a place where we were called. The population consists of 97% Muslims who are very committed to their religion. In addition, 2.5% are rooted in Witchcraft, Paganism, and Witchdoctors, etc. The remaining are the few committed Christians who have been operating under tight fear to relate with the Muslims.
ATTENDANCE: We thank God that the attendance of participants was very good; we had 219 people, of whom 76 came from Middle Eastern countries. The rest came from East African nations. {Enroll in the Newsletter}
After training, the team was sent out on the streets for practices as some of us stayed back at the training point praying for the team on the streets. We sent Groups of three people, a total of sixty-six groups. They reached out to 136 people in one hour. Thirty-two accepted Christ as their Lord and Savior, and 84 welcomed the message but wanted to know where the church was so that they could go and meet the pastor. However, twenty rejected accepting Christ into their life.
One old man, whom 19 people accepted of the 32, welcomed us and asked where the church was for him. He allowed his children and grandchildren to accept Christ and was willing to donate land so we could build a church. He said he would first keep attending church until he heard the decision from the church. He is about 87 to 90 years old. He has special respect in Islam, he donated land before and built a Mosque.
Later in the evening the next day, many Muslims kept coming to the training center in the evening for prayers, and 59 more came to the Lord. Then, on Saturday evening, more people went out on the streets again; twelve were added to the kingdom on Sunday; one was a Rastafarian who gave his life to Jesus with one young lady. Altogether, 109 people gave their lives to Jesus Christ, using the evangelism approach.
We have a dept to construct a church in this city.
Starting next year in January, we will need to train pastors in African Muslim-dominated countries while practicing street evangelism, planting at least one new church to emulate the same model beginning January 2024.
More about training 140,000 people in six to eight months
The twenty-five battery-powered projectors are now in Africa. Soon, they will be in centers that serve from 6,000 to 7,000 Christians each in about 80 churches. Then we will train the leaders. In turn, the leaders will train the church members. As a result of this approach, people can bring their friends and family to watch the videos. Also, they will be bringing spiritual seekers to watch the videos. The method of gathering together thousands with a single projector reduces the cost of evangelism. Typically, a good Projector costs about $200 to purchase and ship. Add in the cost of training, and it is $4000 to get started. Train 7000 people and the cost reduces to about sixty cents to deploy an evangelist into the world. But, if the 7000 people triple to 21,000 in one to two years, then the cost goes down to twenty cents or even lower. Christian people talk about a great revival, but seldom do they consider what it is going to cost. In the USA, just one convert costs extremely high, into the thousands. {Enroll in the Newsletter}
What do the videos do?
First, you learn how to find a spiritual seeker in a laid-back, easy-to-use method. You learn to listen and never argue with anyone. If a person gets angry, learn how to control the conversation in a peaceful way. Or, just walk away. Why walk away? The key is that only the Holy Spirit saves souls, so you learn prayer is the ultimate answer.
Second, you watch videos that validate your faith in Christ at a high level. People learn to defend their Christian worldview with science, logic, math, and valid references. Also, the Bible is shown to be credible as it reveals the plan of God in a way never before seen way. We are revealing eternal life. Do you want to live forever, in a supernatural universe where death and sorrow are gone?
Third, if you are practicing syncretism, a fancy word for choosing what you want to believe is true in the Bible, and rejecting the rest. Or, at the worst level and common, adding to your biblical beliefs, such as combining witchcraft with Christian beliefs.
Examine yourself, even in the USA, it is a problem.
Please pray as we train more than 140,000 people and purify their faith in Christ alone. However, we are now changing the training methods to set up a large number of Churches to deploy their believers into the world by the thousands. {Enroll in the Newsletter}
Knowledge Will Increase
Recently, I came to the following conclusion:
Where spiritual knowledge is low, multitudes of belief systems exist with one another. In contrast, when spiritual knowledge is elevated (based on answering the question in Video 12, “How can I know what is true of the spiritual realm?”), only one worldview becomes evident. Therefore, the foundation of why we must use the exact science of astronomy, logic, math, and eyewitness accounts validated by astronomy is to reveal spiritual truth to entire populations. Truth, like leaven, spreads throughout the entire dough. Also, this is why Muslims said that they liked to watch the videos, even if they rejected Christ. We have planted seeds, and your prayers will bring many of these souls into the Kingdom of Christ. {Enroll in the Newsletter}
Building a Church
We spent over $3300 to help evangelist Andrea complete the building. Here are some photos of the construction. Evangelist Andrea, never trained, went into the world with his testimony of Christ, and the videos. An awesome story of how the evangelism method reaches many because it is easy-to-use.

Financial Needs for Ministry
To those who now support the ministry for global evangelism, thanks for your support and I truly appreciate your help.
Please pray about helping the evangelism ministry with financial support. Here is a list of opportunities to change the world.
- Training in places where people travel from forbidden cities and nations to learn how to use the evangelism tools. The costs are high due to security, feeding and travel. For example, the most recent training has a price of $14,000 to train 219 Pastors/Leaders with advanced knowledge of reaching people in forbidden locations and will likely be attended by people from 14 nations. Two more of these trainings are planned in early 2024.
- More training in areas that will reach into the heart of the 10/40 window
- Train 250 Pastors/Leaders for Blantyre, Malawi, with a population of 800,000. Some pastors will attend from Mozambique.
- Creating and publishing The Science Behind the Story of Jesus.
- Purchase more projectors to mass educate large numbers of Christ followers and elevate how easy it is to find spiritual seekers. {Most reports from the training is the statement: “we have been doing evangelism the wrong way.”}
- Funds to construct churches.
