Methods
and systems for evangelism in the West have never been in short supply,
yet we have witnessed a general impotence to impact our world with the
Gospel. Why is this?
Keys to effective evangelism are not found in applied methodology or systems
alone. The keys that will unlock the barred entrances to human hearts
are rooted in divine principles; these principles have the power to deliver.
These principles must connect with, engage, and drive our methods. They
not only undergird and give shape to the evangelistic effort, they also
mould Christian character.
A sustainable approach to evangelism does not then depend primarily upon
the programme or technique used. To be consistent and ultimately effective
in winning people over to faith - a process that will take time and investment
- believers need to discover and operate from a more enduring source of
strength.

Within Reach examines the function of the human spirit and the causes
for success or failure; it exposes and challenges bankrupt but nevertheless
corrosive philosophies that shape faulty world-views; it touches God’s
overriding burden for the oppressed, His anointing for the task at hand
and uncovers principles that work.
