Impact Report 2015

PREPARING UPCOMING GENERATIONS
For over 42 years, EvanTell has declared the gospel of Jesus Christ. Why the
gospel? It is the only message that can bring light to dark places, ignite
hope, and transform the hearts and lives of people throughout the world.
In our broken and uncertain world, we believe that people are searching
for security, identity, belonging, and purpose. We believe these can only be
found in a relationship with Jesus Christ who is the hope and light of the
world! The gospel is the gateway to Jesus, and it is our privilege to serve as
as His ambassadors by equipping thousands of believers to take the gospel
wherever God leads.
The following pages will give you an overview of how God used EvanTell
“LET NO ONE DESPISE YOU FOR YOUR YOUTH, BUT SET THE BELIEVERS
AN EXAMPLE IN SPEECH, IN CONDUC T, IN LOVE, IN FAITH, IN PURIT Y.”
1 TIMOTHY 4:12
EvanTell’s Academic Ministry prepares students to share Christ within their current and future
spheres of influence. We partner with Christian colleges and universities to equip their students in
evangelism. Universities, Bible Colleges, and seminaries around the world use EvanTell curriculum and
materials to train their students in personal evangelism.
In 2015, EvanTell had the opportunity to guest lecture on evangelism at Word of Life Bible Institutes, Gordon
Conwell Theological Seminary, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, and Dallas Theological Seminary.
