“A Model for Effective Evangelism The “Andrew model” of faith-sharing and evangelism is contained within this story in the first chapter of the Gospel of John. It might be described this way: • Spend time with Jesus because you can’t share what you don’t know. • Share with your network of relationships: in this case, his brother, Simon. • Share with “I” messages: Andrew said, “We [I] have found the Messiah” (John 1:41). • Invite your friend/neighbor/colleague to meet Jesus. • Leave the results up to Jesus because he is the one who saves and transforms.”
