To learn how to share the gospel the way Jesus and His disciples shared it, click on "Biblical Evangelism" (below) to download a presentation given by Tom Bear (MP3 format)or listen to it from the Articles & Sermons page. It explains what every Christian MUST know in order to share the gospel properly.
Biblical Evangelism

Evangelizing Muslims and other people living in Dearborn, MI.
 
Spreading the gospel of Jesus
The evangelistic outreach is primarily directed to the Muslims living in East Dearborn, MI. But the gospel is shared with any and all who wish to listen. Whether they are Muslims or Spanish-speaking unbelievers with a Roman Catholic background, the message remains the same, Christ crucified. Virtually every unbelieving person we meet believes that good works and observance of God’s laws form the basis for a right standing before God. Stones Cry Out Ministries has been systematically spreading the gospel to Muslims living in S.E. Michigan by employing door-to-door proclamation evangelism. For the first time in their lives, many people are gaining a mental comprehension of the gospel and some are coming to faith in Christ!
 
Planting churches
Stones Cry Out Ministries is part of a church planting team called "Living Stones." The ultimate goal of the Living Stones church planting ministry is the establishment of new, doctrinally sound, evangelical churches after the pattern set forth in the New Testament. The Living Stones church planting team disciples new converts from the Stones Cry Out door-to-door outreach. Bible studies have been formed for this purpose with a goal of them spawning into home churches that reach out to neighboring friends and famly. Monthly, people from all the various home churches and Bible studies gather with all of the Living Stones team to enjoy community fellowship. For more information on this church planting minstry, click on "Living Stones."
 
The Approach
As is the case with all of the man made religions, Islam teaches that people can perform works of righteousness as a means to merit acceptance with God. We point out that this view is opposite to the Christian faith since we believe that no flesh can be justified on the basis of the works of the law. We spend most of our time helping them to see that their view of their own goodness is not in agreement with God’s pronouncements against them. We also tell them that God’s perfect righteousness prevents Him from simply excusing sin of any kind and that their sin is infinitely vile since it is against the Holy One. In order for the Muslims (or a person of any other religion) to comprehend the good news, it is essential that they first recognize their rightful condemnation. Only after they first understand this doctrine mentally, are they able to understand the need for a substitute sacrifice that took the punishment in their place. This cross-centered message is presented in a friendly and humble way.  We normally leave them with a Gospel of John (English or Arabic, depending on their choice) and they seem eager to receive it. If they seem to have an interest in the gospel, we ask them if we can stop by to discuss it more with them in the future. If they agree, they are placed on a list for on-going follow-up by the Living Stones church planting team.

Equipping Christians to proclaim the gospel

Put simply, we enjoy seeing Christ exalted in a bold, yet loving gospel presentation and we want more Christians to share our joy. Men from several churches in Southeastern Michigan and places much further away have joined us to discover the joy of sharing Christ with the lost. We want to help Christians learn how to evangelize after the pattern of Jesus and His apostles. Virtually all of our evangelism experience has resulted from over a thousand face-to-face conversations with unbelievers of various cultures. These one-on-one conversations have forced us to learn how to lovingly plant the gospel seed in the hearts of unbelievers through the proper application of biblical truth relating to sin, righteousness and the coming judgment. We want to share with other Christians what God has graciously taught us during the past several years of one-on-one evangelism as a service to  them and our loving Lord Jesus Christ.

Try a one-time door-to-door exposure trip:
If you would like to get a first hand exposure and experience the joy of door-to-door evangelism, we invite you to join us in a one-time door-to-door observation exposure trip. You will be teamed up with a leader who can do all the talking. This exposure may light a fire in your soul and create a desire to become increasingly involved in evangelizing the lost. It may also inspire you to tell others about this ministry so they too can join us in prayer and perhaps come out for an exposure trip.
