Abstract:
Literature is a word that refers to print media or online media whose purpose is as a medium of communication to convey news or general knowledge information to mankind. This ministry is engaged in the dissemination or distribution of spiritual print media in the form of tracts, magazines, health books and spiritual books with the sole aim of spreading the everlasting gospel throughout the world. To distribute such books need evangelist literature. Literature Evangelists are the ones who are at the forefront of this evangelistic ministry because they are the ones directly involved in interacting with the community, so they need to have a spirit of good performance and full of submission to God. However, the reality is that the Literature Evangelist Service has not been running effectively and efficiently. This research uses qualitative methods by analyzing and concluding the data obtained related to research. The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of leaders in improving the performance of literature evangelists and literature evangelists who have the right motivation to be involved in literature evangelism services. In doing a job a person needs one or more motivations that can be the spirit or basis for doing a job. Strong motivation will encourage someone to be able to do his job well. In this case the leader has the responsibility to provide motivation in improving the performance of literature evangelists.

Abstract:
For evangelicals, the allure of mass media evangelism has always been the potential to reach ever-more-distant “unsaved” populations across the globe. However, as the print and broadcast revolutions quickly revealed, targeting individuals’ needs and developing a sense of personal intimacy between evangelists and audience via these media proved a perpetual challenge. The digital revolution transformed this relationship: the interactive capabilities of the Internet and the ability to inexpensively target niche audiences re-shaped mass media evangelism. However, a close examination of evangelistic practices online reveals that, in fact, this latest “revolution”—rather than representing entirely novel ground—actually more closely approximates the type of evangelism that has taken place in brick and mortar churches and non-virtual environments since Christianity’s origins. The concept of “rhetorical space”—drawn from rhetorician Roxanne Mountford’s work on how the design of pulpits and church buildings directly impacts the types of pastoral and congregational behaviors promoted—helps us to see why. Using Global Media Outreach’s Jesus2020.com and The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association’s PeacewithGod.net websites as exemplars, I explore how, by conceptualizing evangelistic websites as rhetorical spaces with architectural features functioning persuasively in a manner similar to physical spaces, scholars of digital religion gain a theoretical framework for effectively describing the unique draw of these sites. Three elements of design in particular reveal how web design works imperceptibly to create a personalized, intimate, and interactive experience, while quickly moving users to make the decision to convert: the rhetorics of interface, navigation, and virtual relationship design. Understanding evangelistic websites as rhetorical spaces thus allows scholars of digital religion to see ways in which Internet evangelism has many similarities with evangelism in non-virtual spaces, pushing us to view it as a more familiar and historical strategy than is commonly recognized.

Abstract:
Karl Gützlaff set up the Chinese Union in 1844, which was a missionary society based on the principle that China's millions could never be converted to Christianity by foreign missionaries: Chinese Christians themselves must carry out the evangelisation of the empire while Western missionaries would serve as instructors and supervisors. Ever since the founding of the Chinese Union, the effectiveness of this evangelistic methodology has given rise to heated debates among contemporary missionaries and subsequent generations of Christian mission historians. Both Jessie G. Lutz and Wu Yixiong discussed the employment of this evangelistic methodology from the perspective of foreign missionaries, such as Gützlaff's evangelistic thought, the founding and development of the Chinese Union, and its crisis. By making use of more substantial mission archives, Jessie G. Lutz's research is more detailed; she even included Gützlaff's European tour from 1849 to 1850. It was Gützlaff's absence from Hong Kong that gave the other missionaries, such as Theodor Hamberg (1819-54) of the Basel Mission, Gützlaff's co-worker, the opportunity to investigate the function of the Chinese Union, and which eventually caused the dissolution of the Chinese Union during 1852 to 1853. How Gützlaff came to the idea of utilising native agency to evangelise the Chinese and how he managed to maintain his enterprise are quite clear. Although it did not come to a respectable result in his time, this idea of “self-propagation” was inherited by the missionaries who were sent to China by the other missions. Yet how did the Chinese evangelists carry out the evangelistic work independent from the missionaries? This is a question Jessie G. Lutz focused on for years.

Abstract:
That the early church was intensely and passionately evangelistic is clear to every reader of the documents that make up the New Testament. Equally clear, or so it would seem, is the scholarly consensus that when Christian evangelists took the step of reaching beyond the borders of the Jewish people, they did so without requiring observance of the Jewish law. The work of these evangelists, in turn, is said to have sparked a reaction on the part of firmly observant Jewish Christians, who, seeing the growth of the Gentile mission, sought to require observance of the Law by its converts. Struggles ensued, and the outcome, to put the matter briefly, was victory for the mission to the Gentiles, for the Law-free theology characteristic of that mission, and for the churches produced by it.

Abstract:
The current article writing aims to provide a perspective overview of Bible's criteria are the original Word of God as a means of evangelization for all humans and criteria of an evangelist in the Gospel of John 1:19-28 to add insight into knowledge and as a reference for evangelists when carrying out the duties and responsibilities of evangelizing in the church community so that the Great Commission is fulfilled. Writing this article is focused on qualitative methods of examining literature. The results of the study state the visionary perspective of the evangelist in preparing for the coming of Christ with the characters of humility, simplicity, honesty and firmness towards sin in serving with the concept of grace and being consistent with the orientation of heavenly calling. The end of this research concludes that the qualifications of the evangelist style in integrity evangelism must be possessed by every evangelist who wants to carry out evangelistic missions such as a spiritual and natural soul, simple and honest, humble and firm against sin, visionary in nature, service with the concept of the principle of grace and integrity when facing any problems with solutions to these problems have implications for today's evangelism for every child of God and evangelists.

Abstract:
Before the ascension of Jesus Christ into heaven, He gave the commandment, a Great Commission to preach the gospel to all nations. Dani tribe is one of the tribes in Papua and is certainly one of the objectives of the evangelistic mission. And it is not only Christianity that wants to reach out there but other religions as well. To carry out this mission, in this study the author formulated how the gospel could be understood and accepted by the Dani tribe. The authors used qualitative methods with a literature study approach. Each nation has a different culture and life from each other, even if the area is in the same country, When the Gospel will be preached in that area, the evangelists must study the context of the people's lives so that the gospel can be contextualized into the culture of life of the people. The authors hope it will benefit evangelists who will carry out missions on the Dani tribe through stone-burning ceremonies, work, and daily life.

Abstract:
The aim of this essay is to extend a course charted over twenty years ago by the Reverend Professor C. F. D. Moule. My debt to him extends even to the title, derived as it is from his ‘The Intention of the Evangelists’. But more substantially, it was his independent thesis and insightful method which provided the stimulus for this study. Against the developing consensus, especially among continental scholars in the 1950s, that the gospel was a creative theological work designed to support or correct the beliefs of Christians, i.e. for those who were advanced in the faith, Professor Moule argued that Mark's aim was apologetic and evangelistic, focused upon the outsider who needed to know the essentials of the story. Even if Mark intended his gospel for Christians, it was written for believers engaged in evangelism to remind them of the facts on which the superstructure of their faith stood or fell.

Abstract:
The Woman’s Foreign Missionary Society (WFMS) (1897–1909) and the Woman’s Missionary Council (WMC) (1910–1940) of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South (MECS) worked in Korea from 1897 to 1940. Their work used a distinctive mission philosophy, hermeneutics, and implementation of strategies in their encounters with Korean women. Over the course of their years in Korea, Southern Methodist missionary women initiated the Great Korea Revival, established the first social evangelistic centers, educated the first indigenous female church historian, and ordained women for the first time in Korea. This article argues that, even though the missionary activities of the single female missionaries occurred in the context of “Christian civilization” as a mission theory, their holistic Wesleyan missiology departed from the colonial theory of mission as civilization. The first section of the article offers background information regarding the single female missionaries to help understand them. What motivated these females to venture in foreign lands with the Gospel? What was their preparation? The second section presents the religious, cultural, social, and political background of Korea during the time the missionaries arrived. The third section describes and analyzes the evangelistic and social ministries of the female missionaries in the nascent Korean mission. The final section describes and analyzes the appropriation and reinterpretation of the Bible and Christianity by Korean women, especially the work of Korean Bible women and Methodist female Christians in the quest for independence from Japanese control in the Independence Movement of 1919.

Abstract:
The author identifies several related problems in this scientific work. These problems are evident from the points that have been compiled as follows: First, there are indications that some Christians themselves think that evangelism is only a social activity or just a good life behaviour in society. Second, there are indications that most of our evangelism is direct evangelism. Third, there are indications that not all Christians are passionate about sharing the gospel. The author sees the danger in contextualization: “If contextualization is not carried out, theology will not be relevant; and the same danger is that if contextualization is carried out too vigorously, compromise and syncretism will occur. It is hoped that this research can be input for Christian educators, pastors, and elderly congregations to implement an evangelistic lifestyle under 1 Corinthians 9:1-27 and call the churches to follow him as he followed Christ. Furthermore, it is hoped that this research can be input for Christian educators, pastors, and elderly congregations in implementing an evangelistic lifestyle.

The ideal evangelism is evangelism that has directed growth, both qualitatively and quantitatively, management is fundamental and absolutely necessary in evangelistic services, so that the running of evangelism services can be coordinated and carried out well. Evangelism management is the process of handling, controlling and directing the work of evangelism by working with others. This study aims to find patterns in Paul's evangelistic management according to the Book of Acts 9-28 from the perspective of modern management science. This study uses a qualitative method with a library research approach and hermeneutics, where the researcher tries to answer the research problem by looking for literary sources that correlate with the research problem. These sources are the study of the text of the Book of Acts 9-28 as well as textbooks, both physical books and e-books, and journals. The conclusion of this research is that there is Paul's evangelistic management pattern in Acts 9-28, namely setting a clear vision, planning evangelism, organizing evangelism, conducting evangelism, and controlling evangelism. Paul's evangelistic management pattern can be used as a pattern for church evangelism today.Penginjilan yang ideal adalah penginjilan yang mengalami pertumbuhan yang terarah, baik secara kualitatif maupun kuantitatif, olehnya manajemen merupakan hal fundamental dan mutlak diperlukan dalam pelayanan penginjilan, sehingga berjalannya pelayanan penginjilan dapat terkoordinir dan terlaksana dengan baik. Manajemen Penginjilan adalah proses menangani, mengontrol dan mengarahkan pekerjaan penginjilan dengan bekerja sama dengan orang lain.

Abstract As socialism was rising in popularity, American ministers spearheaded the formation of the Federal Council of Churches, a union of thirty-three Protestant denominations that would imitate the size and strength of Roman Catholicism in the United States. The Federal Council provided a means through which Protestant denominations would share data from social surveys, jointly manage evangelistic work, and together define the scope of Protestant social service work and public lobbying. The Federal Council of Churches’ first major project was the Men and Religion Forward movement (1911–1912), part evangelistic campaign and part union-organizing campaign, cosponsored by the American Federation of Labor. Through the newly formed Federal Council, clergy defined a Christian social service orthodoxy that excluded both Christian Socialism and Roman Catholicism as outside the boundaries of the nation’s Christian faith.

Abstract Excluded from the Anglican churches, Charles took his evangelistic work directly to the unchurched masses. Preaching in the open air, he addressed multitudes of people and was simultaneously exposed to the hostility of his opposition. Occasionally the local clerics were among the instigators. Wesley’s ability to win silence, if not to win the opposition over to his point of view, allowed him to make the best of these confrontations. His travels increased, and wherever he went he evangelized the masses, established Methodist societies, and visited already existing classes.

Abstract:
Abstract D. L. Moody was determined to shake Chicago to its sinful center, but first he took on an overly excited celebrant whoD wouldn’t let him finish. The Chicago Tribune reported many at the Christian convention were “shocked” when the 32-year-old Moody came down from his pulpit and “unceremoniously” hustled the poor man out. The episode was warily reported in 1869 by Chicago’s leading paper, the Tribune, as an admonition to a favorite son. The paper warned that Moody was too “impulsive and excitable” to be taken fully seriously. As a young colt he would have to be “brought to harness” if he expected to amount to much in the Lord’s work. The “fatherly advice” was from 46-year-old Joseph Medill, the editor and publisher of a paper that boasted “no superior in power and influence among Republican newspapers.” By r 869, the overly eager evangelist and the unctuous Presbyterian who had studied law and helped elect Lincoln had had a long and sometimes strained relationship. “Crazy Moody” had alienated Medill and other members of Chicago’s frontier press by barging into newspaper offices and demanding coverage of evangelistic efforts “to lift Chicago out of its darkness.”

Abstract Seventh-day Adventists believe that Ellen White received a special end-time prophetic ministry. However, her influence on the development of distinctive Seventh-day Adventist doctrines was minimal in the early years of the denomination, but more so now in the maintaining of these beliefs. Her influence was more prominent in the development of its church organization and institutions, in particular its publishing houses, hospitals, and schools. She also left an impression on the church’s evangelistic and mission work. She also was a primary voice in advocating an Adventist lifestyle of vegetarianism, the abstinence from alcohol, tobacco, and other harmful substances, and an overall conservative social Christian behavior.

Abstract:
This chapter continues to assess home mission programs and traces the diffusion of the social gospel within traditional, evangelistic ministries among mainline Protestants. Meanwhile, denominations were forced to retrench their budgets for home missions during the Great Depression. During this time, mainline Protestants strove to maintain the United States as a Christian nation, a theme that permeated their home mission work. Yet, another critical topic in this chapter is the growing reluctance of some Protestants to advocate Americanization and their increasing acceptance of cultural pluralism, even while efforts to assimilate immigrants continued in various forms. Finally, this chapter highlights the continued work of mainline Protestant leaders to challenge Asian exclusion and the ways they responded to Jewish refugees trying to flee Nazi Germany and legislation Congress considered during 1936 (the “Kerr-Coolidge” bill) that aimed to assist undocumented immigrants.

Abstract Shortly before D. L. Moody’s death, his longtime associate in evangelistic work, Ira Sankey, wrote in Success, for a generation who may not have heard the story, the tale of how the two had gotten their start. “We sailed in June 1873 to England,” he recalled. At Queens town they received word that “the two men who had invited us to England had died.” Moody was undeterred. When their ship arrived in Liverpool, Moody told his colleague in widely quoted words of faith that would often be repeated: “If the Lord opens a door to us, we will go in.” That night, as Sankey remembered the story, “Mr. Moody found an unopened letter among his papers.” It supposedly said: “If we ever came to England we would be welcome at York to speak at the YMCA.” It was the sign Moody sought. At once he told his favorite singer, “We will go to York.”

Abstract The nineteenth century is a period especially crucial for understanding both the dilemmas and the distinctive opportunities that have emerged for Indian women. As is well known, the so-called “women’s question” was one of its focal issues, and repercussions from the way that question was addressed continue to affect the lives of Indian women today. The women’s question was the great nineteenth-century controversy over a series of customs that had restricted the lives of high-caste women and had prompted criticism from India’s British rulers. These customs had been cited to justify England’s argument that Indians—especially Hindus—were barbarians and therefore much in need of England’s “civilizing mission.” They were, moreover, much quoted by missionaries both in England and in the United States to justify evangelistic work in India.

Abstract:
Bangladesh is majority Muslim at 91%, mostly Sunni, with Islam as the state religion since 1988. The Hindus at 8.1% are the largest religious minority. Buddhists make up another 0.7%. Christians of diverse denominations constitute less than 1%. There are two archdioceses and seven dioceses in Bangladesh. While William Carey, who translated and printed the Bible in Bengali, came to Serampore in 1793, Protestant missionary efforts took root during the first half of the nineteenth century. The Christian contribution to Bangladesh’s freedom fight during the Liberation War in 1971 involved about 1,500 Christians with 4,000 more assisting the combatants. However, the slow growth of Christianity in the country is due to resistance to the gospel by Muslims and Hindus who identify Christianity with Western ideologies. Secondly, early missionaries focused their work on education at the expense of evangelism. A third reason is the devastating climate, which has disheartened many missionaries from new efforts at evangelization. Still, the distribution of Christian literature continues to play an important role in evangelistic efforts. Christian relief and development works have evangelized many. The contributions of missionaries and indigenous Christians have proved to be highly significant in different sectors of national life.

Abstract:
СКОН БѢ СЛОВО: PILGRIMAGE SITES CONNECTED WITH THE MEMORY OF ST. JOHN THE THEOLOGIAN (Summary) The first part of the study is dedicated to the opening words of the Gospel of John (Искони бѣ слово/In the Beginning was the Word), first translated into Slavonic language by Constantine-Cyril the Philosopher. From the theological interpretation of these words, the study moves on to the personality of the apostle and the information about his earthly path – sought in the literary and iconographic mediaeval realia. The second part is devoted to the pilgrimage sites related to the memory of St. John the Theologian in the Bulgarian lands. Twenty temples, documented in the period from the 11th to the beginning of the 21st century, are described. They testify that Christ’s Apostle and Evangelist has been revered consistently and without interruption over the centuries in the Bulgarian Orthodox tradition.
