A Study of Evangelism Models to Reach Secular People

This study focuses on some evangelism models to reach secular people. John Wesley's “Order of Salvation” model, James Engel's “Count Down” model, Agnes Liu's “Triangle” model, George Hunter's “Target” model, and Joseph Aldrich's “Relationship” model are reviewed.John Wesley's “Order of Salvation” model is effective in under-standing how secular people become Christians. Further, it is also effective in conserving the new converts. Its small group dynamics can be contextualized in different cultures. James Engel's “Count Down” model is effective in understanding how secular people become Christians in terms of spiritual maturity. However, it overlooks the multi dimensions of how people become Christians. Agnes Riu's “Triangle” model is an effective way to understand the several dimensions of how secular people become Christians. It is better than James Engel's model in this regard. However, it shows an extremely simplified conversion process. George Hunter's “Target”model is an effective way to understand how secular people become Christians, also. It is an extended form of John Wesley's “Order of Salvation” model. It takes the cultural gap into a serious consideration. Joseph Aldrich's “Life-Style Evangelism” is based on inter-personal relationships. As the early church employed this model, so too modern evangelism needs to apply it to reach secular people effectively. Some evangelism models are more effective than others according to different cultural contexts. So some models needs to be contextualized in different cultures to be effective. The Lord wants a greater harvest.
