The Way of the Master
Featured Link! The Way of the Master is a wonderful site and resource for Christian evangelism and real world application of how the Great Commission can be played out in every day life. The following is a summary of what they believe. Click on the link below and watch how apologist Ray Comfort and actor Kirk Cameron have teamed up using a simple approach to touch many lives with the gospel.
"150,000 people die every 24 hours—most without the Savior. We are deeply concerned that so few Christians reach out to the lost. Statistics show that this is as low as 5%. One of the reasons for this is that many don’t feel equipped. As a ministry, our sole purpose is to inspire and equip Christians—to teach them how to share the gospel simply, effectively, biblically . . . the way Jesus did. “The Way of the Master” is non-denominational. We believe and preach that the Bible is the Word of God, and that Jesus Christ is God manifest in the flesh, crucified for the sin of the world, and that He rose again on the third day. We believe and teach that salvation is by grace, through faith, and not of works." - From the Way of the Master website
