Resources for Becoming an Evangelistic Church
Some have tried evangelism and given up.
- They were rejected.
- People were unresponsive.
- They were overwhelmed by hard questions.
Sometimes, you just need the right tools. When you drive a nail, you need a hammer. When you want to open doors, you need a door-opener. When you want to give the big-picture, you need a a tool that will do that.

The Door-Opener
Several years ago, Robert Oglesby taught a training session on evangelism at the Waterview Church of Christ. Small video cameras were just coming on the market, so Robert filmed himself for a training tool.
One member saw it and said, "I have a friend I want to teach with the video." Robert protested that it was a training tape, but to no avail. The man showed it to his friend and baptized him into Christ.
The result was a video series called One Story. In 1996, Robert and professional movie director and Waterview member Tom Moore, went to Palestine and shot a new version called The Story.
The Story presents a panoramic view of the Bible with the backdrop of the places in which Bible events occurred. A prologue presents the plan of salvation is a concise and loving manner.
Recently, The Story became available on DVD and is for sale to small mission churches at the reduced rate of $19.95. (The regular price from RKO Video is $29.95.)
People are accustomed to watching TV programs on The Discovery Channel or the History Channel. It "opens the door" to more in-depth study.
For information about The Story, download the brochure or email us.
The Big-Picture Tool
The basis for The Story was a series of training in how to teach the Bible to friends and neighbors. Personal Evangelism Training (PET for short) has been a staple a the Waterview Church of Christ for over 40 years.
It works and it's easy to use. Instead of memorization, all points are keyed to charts that lead a person through the Bible's story from Genesis through Revelation in 5 lessons. In our catalog of programs is a two disk set which demonstrates and teaches your congregation how to be effective teachers.
We have made available for download the PET training manual and the PET charts (below).
New!!! A special 2 disk DVD of Personal Evangelism Training is now available for $19.95. Let Robert Oglesby and Robert Taylor be the instructors. Insert the disk and suddenly, your training your members to teach the Bible to their friends and neighbors!
Can be used in Bible classes, in small groups, or by individuals in their homes who want to learn to reach their friends with the gospel's message. Write today for more details.
