A global search for better ways to help save souls has identified a variety of profoundly more effective ways for Christian evangelism to be practiced by engaging vastly more Christians in evangelism at much lower cost. The solutions include securing weekly commitments from congregants to set a good example as Jesus did, introducing children to the Gospel during Christian face painting and other activities by using the Wordless Book, following our Savior's example of seeking out sinners who think their sins are unforgivable, organizing and training women to present themselves as witnesses to the unsaved, raising money from friends and acquaintances to extend the reach of salvation activities, providing volunteer-based call-in Christian counseling services for those who want to discuss Salvation after hearing a Faith-based broadcast message, developing a multimedia walk-through Bible experience to help people learn about a true relationship with Jesus Christ, and establishing very low-cost noncommercial Christian radio stations where none exist.

WESTON, Mass., June 12 /Christian Newswire/ -- Management expert Donald W. Mitchell announces the runners-up in a global contest he sponsored to give a Christmas gift to God by finding ways to conduct Christian evangelism more effectively. Mitchell said, "I am thrilled that so many excellent solutions were suggested. Praise God."

The winning solutions were provided by:

1. Cherie Hill, founder of www.ScriptureNow.com (securing weekly commitments from congregants to set a good example as Jesus did), who observed, "When it comes to saving souls, Jesus gave us the solution in one simple command, 'Follow Me.'"

2. Vicki Simons, children's ministry volunteer (introducing children to the Gospel during Christian face painting and other activities by using the Wordless Book),

3. Gisele Umugiraneza, a part-time evangelist (following our Savior's example of seeking out sinners who think their sins are unforgivable),

4. Gael Torcise and Wendy Lobos, leaders of White Glove Gals, www.WhiteGloveGals.com (organizing and training women to present themselves as witnesses to the unsaved),

5. Herpha Jane T. Obod, a teacher, (raising money from friends and acquaintances to extend the reach of salvation activities),

6. Tom Andersen, operations director of NeedHim Ministries, www.NeedHim.org (providing volunteer-based call-in Christian counseling services for those who want to discuss Salvation after hearing a Faith-based broadcast message), who commented, "Since NeedHim began in 1996, we've had the privilege of explaining eternal life through Christ to hundreds of thousands of people, one precious soul at a time."

7. Greg Volich, president and producer, The God Experience at the Ark, www.TheGodExperience.org  (developing a multimedia walk-through Bible experience designed to help people learn about a true relationship with Jesus Christ), and

8. Roger de Brabant, general manager, CHIM FM Radio Network, www.CHIMFM.com  (establishing very low-cost noncommercial Christian radio stations where none exist), who noted that he draws inspiration from the words of Jesus in John 9:4, "I must work the works of Him that sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no man can work."

Details of these Holy Spirit-inspired practices will be reported in a new book to be published within a year tentatively titled, 2,000 Percent Solutions for Saving More Souls: Effective Ways You Can Pursue the Great Commission, which will be coauthored by Donald W. Mitchell and those who contributed the solutions. A publisher has not yet been selected. All profits and royalties from the book will be donated to the ministries represented by those who presented the solutions to further their evangelism efforts.

Mitchell noted, "I'm very pleased that these solutions range from things that can be done by individuals, to activities that congregations can pursue, to programs that Christian organizations can implement. There's something here for everyone."
