Church DNA

What is Church DNA?

To answer this question, we have to first establish a standard definition of DNA from which to begin our discussion. DNA is best described as the basic genetic building blocks that determine who we are and ultimately what we will become.

Many in church leadership and consulting are using this concept of DNA as a benchmark for assessing church health and direction. Every church has building blocks that determine its current practices and its plans for the future.

This purpose of the Church DNA blog is to help church leaders discover and evaluate the DNA that drives their values and priorities and to champion evangelism in every conversation.

The Gospel at Work

On an average weekday, full-time employees in America spend more time working than participating in any other activity – even sleep! Thus, it is no surprise that studies reveal the workplace is where non-Christians form their relationships. The people they interact with daily at work have an integral part in shaping their lives. For this reason, the workplace is full of opportunities for Christians to share the gospel, but most are too nervous to do it. No one has ever shown them how they can evangelize in the context of the workplace. This is truly a place where the harvest is ready but the laborers are few.

Through The Gospel @ Work, Mary Margaret Gibson will show working believers how they can share the gospel in their offices. Let her be your guide for workplace ministry and you will help Christians take the greatest news in the world to the place where non-Christians may need it the most. The workplace is where the gospel is desperately needed. We want every Christian in the workplace to be able to clearly tell anyone, anywhere how to spend eternity with God.

Redeeming the Culture

Redeeming the Culture is not about affecting change through social programs, governance or radical activity. Rather, it is a desire to see individuals exercise leadership within their own sphere of influence to change hearts and minds one at a time…

On the Redeeming the Culture blog, A.J. Rinaldi will survey any issue from the controversial to the mundane and discuss how Christians can be relevant participants by not only interpreting our culture through a Biblical Worldview, but putting into practical application that which we believe can affect positive change within our society.

Global Distribution
Our global distribution centers are located in strategic places around the world. They produce and distribute tools for evangelistist outreach, training, and follow-up. EvanTell’s desire is to launch a distribution center in every major section of the world, empowering nationals to evangelize within their own culture at a fraction of current costs.

Translations
Hearing the gospel in one’s native language can be life changing. EvanTell’s International Ministry is translating our evangelistic tracts, books, and follow-up material so more people around the world will be introduced to the gospel of Jesus Christ in their own languages.

Training
EvanTell provides seminary-quality education to native and foreign missionaries, empowering them to present the gospel at every opportunity and to equip other believers to do the same.

Partnerships
God has ministries in place around the world that are specifically called to reach target people groups. EvanTell partners with these ministries to train them to effectively share the gospel wherever God has called them to minister.

On the Worldwide Hope blog, David will share his passion for seeing the gospel of grace taken to the “ends of the earth.”
