Personal evangelism compared with Mass evangelism.....

Personal evangelism as compared with Mass evangelism.....
Mass evangelism played a great part in my conversion.... I asked Jesus into my heart in a Railway train when I was all by myself, but I went to a Billy Graham Crusade, shortly after my personal encounter with Christ on the train going up to London to work at Lloyd's.... The atmosphere at the crusade was very emotional almost electric..... However it taught me that this was probably the best and only way to win souls... I always wanted to win souls...... If Jesus could do this for me I wanted to see HIM do it for everyone else.... I definitely did not want to keep this experience selfishly for myself..... By the providence of God I met the navigator team in London...Ed Rice and Doug Sparks and their charming families.... They were the current experts at soul winning on a one to one basis.They are still doing a very good job today as well... They had a world vision.... But how could one on one multiply and reach the whole world.... They explained to me..... If I win two souls..... And train them up so that they can win two souls each.... Then in just two jumps we would have a total of six souls...... Then in 10 jumps we would reach 1000.... Now wait for this, this sounds extraordinary...... In just 28 jumps...... We reach the whole world population...... 28 is not a very big number....... 6 billion is a big number...... So to reach 6 billion you just need 28 jumps  of MULTIPLICATION.....2 becomes 4 becomes 8 becomes 16 becomes 32 becomes 64 becomes 132 becomes 264 becomes let's say 250 to make the math easier....becomes 500.... Becomes 1000.... Becomes 2000....4000.....8000.....16000......32000....64000.....132000...250000....500000....1000000
So in 20 jumps we reach 1 million.......
Now the real payoff is that each person reached is not just a bench warming do very little Christian but is a trained Christian multiplying soul winning disciple.....beat that!!!!!!!!!!! Now the navigators have been working for 80 years..... If you check out their website they are currently working in 100 countries worldwide... That is pretty good..... They are even surviving in countries that are closed to the Gospel..... They do not make a big splash but are like underground workers working out of sight...
This could really be a way forward during the coming days weeks months years of severe Christian
persecution.....
Now To return a little too mass evangelism.... In the Bible we see that Jesus practiced both..... Mass evangelism was particularly effective when Jesus did his miracles...... One dramatic healing miracle would be witnessed by hundreds or thousands...... These hundreds and thousands however were not the effective converts that took the gospel into all the world.... That was left to his inner core which he trained personally himself.... The 12..... So this is not the case of either/or but of the good old Roman Catholic both/and.. However today in all repeat all Christian gatherings, with the exception of NAVIGATOR groups and the team that I grounded in Slovakia.... Personal one on one evangelism is totally neglected...... This is so sad..... Because Christians are not being taught how to share their faith with others..... Just bring them along to our Christian meeting and then you will have done your job...
I will end by telling you a quick true personal story.... When my team was working in Odessa in the Ukraine....
The famous mass Evangelist...REINHARD BONKE ..... Held a three day healing crusade and Gospel crusade.... Our little team decided to help out in distributing the flyers to invite the population to
come to the stadium... I think the six of us gave out more flyers then all the Pentecostal churches in the area put together... On the first day Rinehart gave a great sermon... One old man that we personally knew who walked on crutches.... Was seemingly miraculously healed..... He threw away his crutches and walked staggering a bit..... The crowd was amazed..... The next day however we found the man walking around on his crutches...... Busloads of church people were being lifted in to Odesa for the second day..... By now our little team was beginning to see how fruitless this method of evangelism really was... On the final day which was meant to draw the biggest crowds..... With all the church members praying in prayer meetings for this special last day...... The Lord allowed the biggest rainstorm to flood the stadium and there was no meeting....WHY??? You may well Ask???We tried to contact Reinhard to help him to see that if he concentrated more on exhorting the masses to personally evangelise, then he would reach many many more people.. But he had already left for Kiev...
Please help me to spread this message of one on one...I need to pay more attention to this too..Lord
help us all...?

Just imagine what a revival there would be if the pastors of churches both big and small would both practice personal evangelism themselves, then teach their congregations to do the same?????!!!!!!
