World Evangelist Mack Stiles Explores What It Looks Like to Be an Effective Messenger of the Gospel


Think evangelism is rooted in a method? Mack Stiles believes it is rooted in something much deeper. It is found in what makes us whole and healthy messengers of God’s truth about Jesus.


Stiles has lived the life of the healthy evangelist in homes and coffee shops, at universities and farms. He has lived out and spoken about the gospel to Kenyans, Koreans, Arabs and North Americans. What he has learned around the world and at home is summarized here in a few basic truths that can shape any of us into faithful people who bring good news to needy and hurting friends.


The whole gospel changes much more than our relationship with God. Stiles shows how it changes all of who we are and what we do. It means learning the whole gospel without shaping its message to meet our tastes. It means not just going through the motions of accepted behaviors. It means showing the unity of witness and justice. It means love. It means community.


Join Mack Stiles in a life-giving adventure of boldly knowing, living and speaking the gospel.
