James Merritt reminds us that none of us naturally drift toward evangelism. It’s easy to get so busy taking care of the day-to-day duties of pastoring–preparing sermons, counseling and leading staff–that sharing the gospel tends to take a backseat. Many pastors would feel embarrassed if you asked them about the last time they shared their faith. Merritt is a NAMB National Evangelism Mobilizer, and he has offered some words of wisdom for how pastors can set the pace for evangelism in their churches. He serves as Lead Pastor of Cross Pointe Church in Atlanta, Ga.
