Evangelism Podcast Host (00:51):
Welcome to the Evangelism Podcast with Dr. Daniel King, where Daniel interviews full-time evangelists, pastors, missionaries and normal everyday Christians to discover how they share their faith, their powerful testimonies, and amazing stories that will inspire you to reach people with the good news. And now here’s your host, missionary, and evangelist
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (01:13):
Daniel King. Welcome to the Evangelism Podcast. I’m Daniel King. I’m excited about telling people about Jesus today. I have a very special guest with me, Mr. Tom Elie, thank you for joining me on the Evangelism Podcast.
Tom Elie (01:27):
Our privilege, man. Thanks for having us.
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (01:29):
Alright, brother Tom, tell me a little bit about how you got started doing evangelism.
Tom Elie (01:36):
14 years old, I was in the front row. I brought my best friend at 14 years old to hear an evangelist named Lowell Lundstrom and he was sort of a country band guy and the church didn’t know anything about that back then. And my best friend got saved and I thought, what could be more fun than this than helping people find Jesus? And that’s where I first sensed the call to the office of an evangelist or to be an evangelist. That’s where it sort of all began is watching other evangelists. Yeah,
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (02:05):
That’s awesome. Lowell’s daughter is a friend of mine. I’ve been in class with her at Oral Roberts University, Londa Lundstrom Ramsey. They were a great family of evangelism back in the day doing gospel singing all over North America. Alright, so tell me about doing crusades. You’ve been to India and other parts of the world. Tell me about it.
Tom Elie (02:30):
I was pastoring and God told me to double my prayer time and seek his face, not his hand. And after a month of that, God brought two people to me, one from Kenya, one from India, unsolicited. They said come. And so we went and by God’s grace been 50 times to India. We’ve gone into the rural areas where they never had an open air festival or crusade before. And we’ve done about 125 of them, me and my team. And we went to the areas where they had many had never heard the gospel before. And so it was very exciting. We saw so many people healed and touched and it just impacted my life so greatly to be around people who love to hear the gospel.
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (03:15):
That’s awesome. Well, you’ve developed a great tool for witnessing, it’s called the One Minute Witness. Tell me a little bit about how you developed this tool and how God has used it.
Tom Elie (03:31):
About 2006, I came back from one of my India trips and the Lord said, Hey, you’re doing a great job, but Tom, why aren’t you sharing your own faith in your own town in Minnesota, in Minneapolis? And I realized that I was not afraid to preach to thousands. I was afraid to talk to one. I didn’t have a good tool that I was comfortable with in sharing my faith with strangers or friends. And the Lord spoke very clearly to me. He said, Tom, you do not have a fear problem. You have a compassion problem. And he said, you are not looking at people the way I look at people, I look at people through eyes of compassion. I see them like sheep without a shepherd. They’re lonely and depressed and discouraged and fearful. You tend to look at people, you judge them how they look, their status, their education, how they talk, how they appear.
(04:22):
God says, I don’t do that. I just love people because that’s who I am. And he said, you need to start seeing them through my eyes. And once you see through eyes of compassion, then you’ll want to share your faith with them. He said something very clearly to me, Daniel, he said, Tom, I need you to step it up, but if you don’t, I will find someone else. I’d immediately raised my hand, even though I was all alone in this room, this prayer room, and God was talking to me. I said, no, here am I. Send me and don’t find somebody else. It was sort of like an Esther moment when Morde Kay. I said to Esther, you need to go. You’re called for this time, but if you don’t go before the king uninvited and try to rescue the Jews, I will raise up someone else and you and your family will miss the blessing.
(05:13):
So I said, no, don’t find someone else. So I went that very day or the next day and I talked to my friend George, and I said, George, let’s share our faith every day this week. He said, oh yeah, let’s do it. And we didn’t have a tool, we just did it. And I really thought that most of America was not open to the gospel because most of our churches in America have plateaued or are in decline. But I was totally wrong, Daniel. People were so open. And that week I shared with 11 people and three people prayed to give their lives to Jesus and I couldn’t even believe it. So I said, let’s do another week and then another week. And finally we got to that spot. We said, why would we stop? Let’s just do this. Let’s make this our lifestyle. And then about three months later after that, after God could trust me that I was going to do this, then he gave me this tool, the one Minute witness, and I said, if you’ll give me a tool that treats people with compassion and where I can confidently do this, then I will help spread this.
(06:14):
And so that became our focus instead of we did the crusade and then we do during the pastor school like you, we do this one minute witness with all the pastors and we train them, then we take them out two by two to the streets and actually do it for an hour and they come back so excited. They said, we never thought it could be this easy to share our faith, our people this open and hundreds can come to Christ. And so then we started putting it into other languages and other languages and it just grew and grew and grew. And by God’s grace, now we’re in about 70 nations and this is in 68 languages, but I do it in my own life. In fact, right now, right before this call, before this recording, excuse me, I went out just to take a walk around the block and get some exercise between calls and I saw a man walking his dogs and immediately the Holy Spirit, the very first thing I thought, share your faith with him.
(07:14):
Well, as we were approaching each other, the dogs were a little restless and I’m not a big fan of dogs. So it’s like, okay, I went one way, he went the other. Well, I went around the block and now he’s coming my way again. And so this time I said, okay, I’m going to obey Lord, I’m going to do this. And I started sharing and asking him about himself. And here he’s got a husband, so he is a homosexual, but we say, what’s the best thing that’s ever happened in your life? He said, I was born in Brazil and I came here and all that. So finally I said, and then another lady pulled up that knew me and she’s passionate for Jesus. And so she saw him. And so I said, well, may I tell you the best thing in my life? And I told him and then she piped in and said, come to our church, you and your husband are welcome. Come to our church, let God speak to you, let God touch you. And it was just a welcome. We don’t agree with it obviously, but it’s come and let the Holy Spirit touch your heart and speak to your heart. And so he might come this Sunday, but it’s so relevant and it just works wherever we go, in every culture, in every language. In the Muslim world, it works excellent because it’s personal, it’s short and it’s relational and it’s my story. No one can argue with my story. So it really works
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (08:35):
Well. I’m very familiar with the tool and I’ve actually used it and taught it. I was a couple of years ago in the nation of Malawi with Desmond Henry from the Global Network Evangelist and with Alan Green, who’s a great evangelist. And you had sent some of the one minute witness tools with us. And so we had a pastor’s conference and we taught them how to use it and then we empowered them to go out and to share their faith with others. And many people came to the crusade that night as a result of the one minute witness. And so we saw it powerfully at work. Alright, so let’s talk about the actual tool. Just walk us through how someone can develop the one minute witness in their own lives. How can they put together their own story to be able to share the gospel with someone?
Tom Elie (09:32):
Well, I’m going to show you, here’s the one minute witness. It’s just a little pocket book booklet, 24 pages, but everybody gets to write in their own story. Everybody has a story and we want to train people to be comfortable. We think that every mature believer should know how to share their faith. That is just like elementary. Every believer should know how to share their own faith story. And everyone has a story. So what we do is we go on page five, I’ll show it to you real briefly here, but on page five is the five fingers of this one minute witness. It starts with permission, then it goes to before Christ, your turning point after your decision. And if I never met Jesus. And so if it’s okay with you, I’d like to demonstrate on here,
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (10:21):
Is that okay? Yeah. And I really like that you ask for permission. Why is that important to ask permission before you get started?
Tom Elie (10:27):
Because a lot of people, if we start with Jesus, a lot of people have bad experiences and people are so busy today that they feel that if you honor them, they feel honored if you ask permission. So for example, we say, like I just said to this guy who was walking his dogs right now, I said, Hey, I am working on, we did some chitchat, we talked about his dogs, we talked about whatever. Where do you live? All this. And I said, Hey, I’m working on this assignment. I’d like to ask this question to somebody every day. Is that okay with you? So it takes some of the weirdness out of it. And so it’s like common question. I said, what’s the best thing that’s ever happened to you? And he said, oh, I’m from Brazil originally. And my family came here. Actually, we came on a tourist visa then overstayed five years.
(11:16):
But then we went through the process and we actually got legalized as citizens. He said, that’s probably the best thing to come to America. And so we talked about that and said, oh, that’s what a great privilege. Yes, it’s a great country, we got our faults, but it’s a great place to live. And then I said, Hey, well, so may I quickly tell you my best friend? Of course they always say yes. And so now I have permission to talk about Jesus, but I built a bridge to them, permission builds a bridge, plus it shows honor that I’m not just saying, Hey, let me tell you something. It’s not preaching at them and it’s showing an interest in them. But there’s actually several questions you could ask. That’s the one we print. But during Covid, everyone was wearing masks. So I would say, Hey, I know there’s a lot of fear in the world.
(12:04):
May I tell you how I overcome my fear? And they say, oh yeah. And so then I go into my one minute witness, or if I’m with a young married couple or just a dating couple, I would say, Hey, my wife and I have been married many, many years. May I tell you our secret for success? Oh yes, please tell us. Then I go into my, I said it has to do with a decision I made when I was a teenager, and so then I start my one minute witness. There’s a lot of different on-ramps you can use into it depending on what people are working through. Yeah.
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (12:38):
Okay. So then you have these three sections. You have before Christ, you have the turning point and then you have the after decision. So can you kind of give us a demonstration of how you would do each of those parts?
Tom Elie (12:50):
Yes. In fact, I tell you what I’m going to do. I’m going to time it for you right now and assuming I have permission, so from number two to five is one minute. Okay? So now I don’t say before Christ because I don’t want to start with Jesus. I want to start with my brokenness because a lot of people when they hear something religious, they shut you down right away because they’ve had some bad experiences. Even this guy is walking his dogs. He said, that’s what happened. I went to church, I was raised evangelical, he said in Brazil, but I had some bad experiences and so people tend to shut things down. So I want to start with my brokenness first. That catches the fish. In about 10 seconds, I caught my fish. They say, wow, that’s how I feel too. So I’ll start with that.
(13:34):
But I start with, there was a time in my life, you can see it. It says, there was a time in my life under bc that’s my opening line, and then I’ll go there. So here we go. So assuming I have permission, may I tell you the best thing ever happened to me. You say yes. Okay, here we go. Well, there was a time in my life that I had no peace in my heart. I was wondering what’s my purpose in life and what happens when I die? Number three. Then one day my parents brought me to a Christian Church and I heard about a God who loves me and wants me to be in heaven, but I found I was not eligible because heaven’s perfect. And of course I’m far from it. But he made a way when I realized that Jesus died for my sins and rose again, I invited him to forgive me and really be the leader of my life, not just Sunday, but every day.
(14:22):
Number four, since I’ve met Jesus, I have new hope. I have purpose. I have the promise of heaven and five. And if I had never met Jesus, I know my life would be very empty. I would still be searching for my purpose. So thank you for listening the same. Jesus loves you very, very much. So there I just timed it for you. And it came out at 52 seconds. So that’s the one minute witness. And then you can always take it further than that. If they’re listening, if they’re not really listening that much, if they’re feeling a little distant, you could say, Hey, or today his dogs were acting up. I say, Hey, check out my website. And we have a website we give to everybody. I’d like to give to people on the call today, it’s called frosty grapes.com, frosty grapes, frosty grapes, frost.
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (15:12):
There’s got to be a story behind that name. What does it mean?
Tom Elie (15:15):
The story is that there’s no meaning to it.
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (15:18):
Okay,
Tom Elie (15:19):
Give me a phrase that has no meaning, but’s catchy. Okay, there’s no hidden meaning, anything like that. It’s just frosty grapes.com and it’s a digital tract is what it is. And so that if I’m a waitress, I’ll write it down. The other day I was getting my blood drawn and these ladies were okay. Yeah, okay, write it down. Frosty grapes. Yeah, we want to check that out. It’s intriguing. Or you can actually, you can take it further. And in our booklet, we teach people how to go further and we ask ’em three questions. So how about you? Do you think you’re going to heaven someday? Okay, number two, how do you think somebody gets to heaven? And you can usually tell from that answer if they really understand grace. And number three, again, permission. May I tell you how the Bible says, you can know for sure you’re going to heaven. And they always say Yes. Then we do the A, B, C or 1, 2, 3, admit, believe, confess, admit, I’m a sinner. Believe only Jesus can forgive me and confess my sins, but confess him as Lord, meaning the boss of my life. And I said, does that make sense to you? Probably 90%. Well, they always say yes. But then I say, I don’t say, would you like to give your life to Jesus? I say, what would stop you from giving your life to Jesus? And probably 85% say nothing would stop me.
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (16:38):
Hey, that’s a great line. I really like that. What would stop you from giving your
Tom Elie (16:42):
Life to Jesus? Yeah, if they understand what I just said. Does that make sense to you, the ABCs? Yeah. Well, so if that makes sense, well then what would stop you?
(16:51):
And it’s good for them to think it through what would stop me and sometimes the relationships or other issues in their life. And so you can take ’em so far, but I had some autobody work done this week on my car, and I met the owner at the end, did my one minute witness, and he prayed with me to give his life to Christ. And so there’s two things that happen, Daniel, when we share our faith, the gospel goes out to people who will never come to church. But number two, I become a stronger disciple when I share my faith, my faith roots deeper. And I think that’s why God asked us, it’s not a great suggestion. It’s a great commission. He put it in our hands. He could have done a lot better with having the angels do it, in my opinion, because we’re so unfaithful at times.
(17:45):
But I think the genius of the Holy Spirit is that we, it’s not just about sharing with them. It’s about we grow stronger when we share. And I know that we’re losing so many of our young people when they go to secular colleges, even though they grow up in our churches. But if these young people were faithfully sharing their faith, they would be so much stronger in their faith. And so I feel strong, and if it’s okay, I’ll just give the website. People can look at this tool called One Minute witness.org, one minute witness.org. And there’s many languages on there, but you can get trained, actually, you can write it out on that website and it’ll email it right back to you. And you can see this booklet. There’s also handout sheets that you can print off for your church. And there’s a children’s handout sheet because there’s a children’s booklet as well starting at age seven. But we’re trying to give this into as many denominations, as many Parachurch ministries say, please use this tool, take it because it really works. And it’s probably one of the easiest ways to do it. So everyone has a story. We just need to help people rehearse their faith story so they’ll be confident in sharing it.
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (19:02):
So looking at your adult hand sheet right now, and can you kind of walk us through how someone could develop their own story? So first on bc, you say, describe your life before Christ. Finish the sentence with three adjectives or phrase. There was a time in my life when, so how would you help someone to develop that part of theirs?
Tom Elie (19:25):
Yeah. So I would help them dream about what was your life like before Christ? Were you fearful? Were you lonely? Were you searching prideful, greedy, lustful, arrogant? Were you successful? But still searching? Just give them some ideas. Many people say, I was alcoholic or I was an adulterer, or I don’t encourage ’em, but if they want to be that open, that’s fine with them. But I was addicted. We were all addicted to sin, obviously. And so it is just putting ideas. And then we give ’em about a minute to just write in their story. Then they practice it with a partner because in our training, everyone has a partner two by two. Then we go to the next one, which is the tp, the turning point. So this is the very first time we mentioned Jesus. Now, so the first one, BC is about 10 seconds, because remember, this is a one minute witness because people lead very busy lives. Number three is the turning point that takes about 20 seconds. And there’s two parts. Can you read those two parts there?
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (20:32):
Yeah. Oh yeah. The turning point. How did you hear about Jesus? And then one day, so you say, and then one day, and then finish this sentence, when I realized Jesus died for my sins and rose again, I invited him to,
Tom Elie (20:48):
So you’re telling your story. So think back, how did you first hear about Jesus? And you start by saying, and then one day, so for me, I said, then one day my parents brought me to a Christian Church, and I heard, but maybe it’s your parents, maybe it’s your pastor. Maybe it’s someone invited you to a crusade or gave you a gospel track. Maybe you were all alone and God just talked to you. Maybe you were watching tv, a Christian program. But that’s your part of your story. So include that in your story. So I’m curious for you, Daniel, who was the first person who told you about
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (21:21):
Jesus? Well, it had to be my mother. I’ve been saved as long as I can remember. So I was probably saved at the age of two or three. My parents remember me having an encounter with the Holy Spirit when I was four years old. And then I got called into the ministry at five and started preaching at the age of six. So when I share my testimony, I get all the saying, God saved me from lying, from a life of cheating, from a life of stealing. God saved me from adultery, from alcoholism, from drug abuse. Let me tell you what, God saved me for, murder, everything. Because I was saved when I was only three years old. And I’ve been walking with Jesus ever since, and it has been wonderful. And so I don’t really have much of a before Christ. I kind of joke around and say, before Jesus came to my life, I used to crawl around with the wrong crowd. I used to poop my diapers and I would disobey my mom. But then I met Jesus and he changed everything.
Tom Elie (22:25):
I think that’s a key thing for kids that are growing up like me too in the church, probably Okay, before Christ, I dishonor my parents, I disobeyed. Maybe I lied, maybe I stole something. Maybe I disobeyed God, I don’t know. But you find some smaller things like that that kids can relate with. For me, I chose, there was a time in my life where I had no peace in my heart because every kid knows when you lie, there’s no peace, because all of us have done wrong, and we know when we’ve done wrong
(22:59):
And there’s no peace. So I can say, there was a time you feel guilty for it, right? Feel guilty so there’s no peace. And then the other two things I said, there was a time in my life when I was looking for my purpose, the common thing for all humanity. Everyone in the world asked two questions. What’s my purpose? What happens when I die? Those two questions, no matter what creed or nation they’re from, everyone wants to know that. So for me, I said I took a common approach that there was a time in my life I had no peace. I was wondering, what’s my purpose? What happens when I die? But others can do it. Do you remember when you were three years old or four or five? Do you remember any of that?
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (23:38):
I remember when I was four and had an encounter with the Holy Spirit, and I remember starting to preach at the age of five or six, incredible. But the actual moment of salvation, I don’t really remember. I mean, I just grew up in it,
Tom Elie (23:54):
And I don’t either,
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (23:55):
Which praise the Lord. I mean, it’s a great testimony.
Tom Elie (23:58):
It’s a tremendous story. Yes, it is. But I’m amazed that I’ve had people as young as three or five years old that remember praying to give their life to Jesus
Evangelism Podcast Host (24:07):
So
Tom Elie (24:08):
They knew they were a sinner. And yeah, that’s the third one. And that last part is we want them to memorize that. When I realized Jesus died for my sins and rose again, I invited him. We say, memorize that part because it’s not enough to say, I got saved, and then one day I got saved, and then one day I found God because you and I know what that means, but they don’t know what that means.
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (24:31):
Yeah.
Tom Elie (24:32):
So we have to come back to the core message of the gospel is the death and resurrection of Jesus for my sense. So we say, memorize that part. When I realized Jesus died for my sins and rose again, I invited him to, what’d you ask him to do?
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (24:48):
And then you have the ad after decision since I’ve got Jesus. And then you describe the positive benefits Jesus has made in your
Tom Elie (24:57):
Life, and that might be the opposite of what you wrote on number two, or it could be something else. I have joy. I felt such tremendous
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (25:04):
Peace. I felt joy. I’ve direction and guidance in my life.
Tom Elie (25:09):
Exactly. Exactly. I have new friends. Maybe he healed your marriage, maybe he healed your body. I have, have peace, all these things. Yeah. But then the last one is a little scary. I say, if you never met Christ, I know you don’t know this for sure, but just take a guess what your life would be like today. And people don’t have trouble. They go, wow, that’s a scary thought. But to my surprise, I’ve had many people say they would be dead. And so I’ve asked them, why would you be dead? Why do you think that? And they said, because most of my friends before Christ are now dead. And so I would be just like that. But then we close with this. Thank you for listening. So we bring it back up. Thank you for listening. This same. Jesus loves you very, very much. And that’s how we close it.
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (25:57):
And so then if they want to know more, you say, may I tell you what the Bible says? How you can know you’re going to heaven. Then you go into the A, B, C, admit that you’ve done wrong. Believe that Jesus died to forgive your sins. Then confess that you’ve sinned. And then you have the key question, what would stop you from totally surrendering your life
Tom Elie (26:17):
To
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (26:17):
Jesus Christ today? If
Tom Elie (26:20):
There’s
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (26:20):
Nothing stopping them, then you ask them, with God’s help, would you be willing to turn away from what the Bible calls sin and follow Jesus daily? Then I noticed you have the salvation poem here. You would take people into a prayer of salvation, either using the salvation poem
Tom Elie (26:35):
Or
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (26:36):
A prayer. You say salvation poem for us.
Tom Elie (26:42):
I’m sorry,
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (26:43):
Can you say the salvation poem?
Tom Elie (26:44):
Oh yeah. Jesus. You died upon a cross and rose again to save the lost. Forgive me, Lord of all my sin, come be my savior, Lord and friend. Change my life and make it new and help me Lord, to live for you.
(26:57):
So it’s actually a song. It’s written by a good friend of mine, Matt McPherson. But this song is now in, I think, about 180 languages around the world. If you go to salvation poem.com, you’ll see it. It’s a song and it’s written and sung by all these different languages, and it’s on CCB n Superbook for the kids. But it’s sort of like, that was a cool story too. Matt said, God, give me an idea that’ll change the world. And God said, write a poem. And he said, I remember when I was a kid, we would pray this poem at bedtime. Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take. But it wasn’t about salvation. So he said, I want to write a salvation poem that kids can learn and they can pray this.
(27:44):
And so, yeah, it’s been very effective. Or you can just pray the A, b, c prayer with them as well. But then what we encourage people to do is congratulate them. What I do when I always ask two questions after they pray, number one, did you mean that prayer from your heart? And to my surprise, Daniel, a hundred percent say yes. Even if they’re sort of looking around, they say, oh, yes, I meant that prayer. And then I say, what happened? And usually they say something like, I feel a weight has lifted off of me. I feel peace. Now, we know it’s not a feeling. Salvation is not a feeling, but the spirit bears witness with our spirit that we are the children of God. So somehow the Holy Spirit connects with us, and then I say, well, congratulations. And hey, I’d like to stay in touch with you.
(28:33):
Could I call you tomorrow and share one of my favorites, Bible verses? And so they always say yes. So I get their phone number and then I call ’em. And sometimes they want to receive calls, sometimes they don’t. So you got to be ready. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. But I say, Hey, get your Bible and turn to John three 16 and 17. And I have them read it to me and I say, please read it out loud to me. And I do that. I don’t want to read it to them. Because many people, especially in American Catholic churches, they were taught, don’t read the Bible because you might misinterpret it. But I want them to read the Bible and realize they can understand it. And so I say, read it to me out loud. And then I say, what does that mean to you?
(29:12):
If they don’t understand, say, Hey, read it again. But they’ll always understand because the Bible’s not hard to understand. And so then we talk about that verse and other things and encourage ’em. And then I say, Hey, can I call you again in a couple of days and share another one of my favorite verses? And they always say yes. And that’s how you start the discipleship process. And eventually you become their friend, and eventually you get them to your church or get them to a church that’s near them. But you try to just keep being their friend. And sometimes, like I said, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. You’ve got the parable to sower, four different kinds of seed. Only one had lasting fruit. But I found this, Daniel, that the average person hears the gospel about seven times before they receive Christ. And I might be number four. And if I did it respectfully and kindly to them without condemnation, I can just bump them one step closer to Jesus. So yeah, it really works. It really works.
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (30:14):

Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Evangelism Podcast Host (00:34):
Welcome to the Evangelism Podcast with Dr. Daniel King, where Daniel interviews full-time evangelists, pastors, missionaries, and normal everyday Christians to discover how they share their faith, their powerful testimonies, and amazing stories that will inspire you to reach people with the good news. And now here’s your host, missionary, and evangelist Daniel King.
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (00:59):
Welcome to the Evangelism Podcast. I’m Daniel King and I’m excited about telling people about Jesus. Today I have a very special guest with me, Ethan Hood. He might be the youngest guest we’ve ever had on the Evangelism Podcast. Ethan, thank you for joining me today.
Ethan Hood (01:17):
Yeah, thank you for inviting me.
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (01:19):
Alright, so Ethan is the son of Ron and Christina Hood, great friends of ours here in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and they have a great ministry called Must Go Missions. And so Ethan has been our friend for many years. He hangs out a lot with my son Caleb, who’s also 14. And Ethan, do you remember meeting Caleb? How long have the two of you been friends now?
Ethan Hood (01:48):
As long as I can remember. Yeah.
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (01:51):
So you were pretty young when we first met. Now your father has a great heart for evangelism and he put together an evangelism trailer. Can you kind of describe for the people who are listening, what does the evangelism trailer look like?
Ethan Hood (02:07):
Yeah, so the evangelism trailer, it’s kind of like a food truck. So the sides open up and they’re flap so they open up and so you can speak from inside the truck to anybody passing by. So it’s painted sky blue with clouds all over it and it has big words, big letters on the front that say, are you going to heaven? Two questions are really answer. So
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (02:29):
Alright, so are you going to heaven? Two questions that reveal the answer, and in just a minute here we’re going to ask you what those two questions are. But first of all, kind of tell the people who are listening, how do your family use this evangelism trailer? What are some of the places you’ve taken it to and what would it typically look like when you use it?
Ethan Hood (02:55):
So we use it at different events and outreaches that happen all over the city. So we take it to the Tulsa Dream Center a lot and we talk to people there with Tulsa Dream Center. And
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (03:09):
So let’s tell people what the Tulsa Dream Center is. So we live in South Tulsa, but up in North Tulsa there is the Tulsa Dream Center run by our home church, a victory church. And there’s a lot of people that have a lot of needs up there in North Tulsa. And so our church has been reaching out to North Tulsa for many years now. People come to the Dream Center for food. They recently built a swimming pool to help teach kids how to swim up there and lots of ways to reach out to the community. And so sometimes they’ll do a big feeding event, and right now it’s Thanksgiving time and so they just gave out a bunch of turkeys and stuff. And so when people come for the food, you guys will take your trailer and you’ll park it there in the parking lot and as people are waiting in line, you’ll start to talk to them.
Ethan Hood (04:07):
Yeah.
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (04:08):
Okay. So kind of tell us what those conversations are like. What do you say when people come and start talking to you?
Ethan Hood (04:15):
So for a lot of the time people are just wondering what the two questions are that I mentioned earlier. And so those
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (04:21):
Two now they’re wondering because big on the truck it says, are you going to heaven? Two questions that reveal the answer.
Ethan Hood (04:29):
Yeah.
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (04:30):
Alright, so everyone’s wondering, Ethan, what are the two questions? Can you tell us what are the two questions that reveal if someone is going to heaven? I really want to know. I want to make sure I’m going to heaven when I die.
Ethan Hood (04:43):
Yeah. So the first question is that if today was your last day on Earth, are you sure that you would go to heaven?
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (04:52):
Okay, so if today was my last day on Earth, am I sure? Well, I hope so. I sure hope I go to heaven.
Ethan Hood (05:00):
That’s the answer we get a lot of the time. And so then that’s why you have the second question. If you were to stand before God and he was to ask you, why should I let you into heaven, what would your answer be?
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (05:13):
Well, what answer do people usually say there?
Ethan Hood (05:16):
Well, a lot of the times they are Christians. So they say, I believe in Jesus Christ and this is good. And once, if they say that, then we ask if we can pray for them if they need any prayer. But also a lot of the time they say, well, I’ve been a good person, I’ve done good things. And this is,
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (05:35):
Oh yeah, I go to church sometimes. Every Christmas I go to church. I love going to church at Christmas time, usually you get some presents and stuff and you see a little twinkly line on the top of the tree. And so probably got to let me in if I go to church on Christmas. Do you hear that type of answer?
Ethan Hood (05:54):
Yeah.
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (05:55):
Okay. And so if someone gives you that type of answer, what do you do?
Ethan Hood (05:59):
And so then that’s whenever we go into the main message,
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (06:03):
The main message, Ethan, tell us the main message. How can we be sure that we’re going to heaven when we die?
Ethan Hood (06:10):
So we use a format that was made by an evangelist who taught other people how to lead people to Christ. And so it starts with grace, then man, then God, then Christ, and finally faith.
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (06:27):
Okay, so let’s go through those. You start with grace, then you talk about man, then you talk about God, then you talk about Christ, then you talk about faith. And so each of those different points, I’m sure you would say several different things, maybe pull out some scriptures to talk about. Kind of walk us through how you would present the gospel to someone. By the way, I think that this format was originally developed by d James Kennedy, who he started evangelism explosion. And so he taught people to go through these five different points. Alright, so start with grace. What would you say about grace?
Ethan Hood (07:08):
So grace, it’s really short. You just share the verse, the verse. Romans 10 13, whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (07:21):
That’s a good place to start. Whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. And so that’s God’s grace. Okay, then you go into talking about man. Now does it include women too? Is it Yes.
Ethan Hood (07:33):
This is man as humanity.
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (07:35):
Man as humanity. Okay. And so what would you say about humanity?
Ethan Hood (07:39):
And so a lot of people at this point are wondering, well, what do I have to be saved from? And so man, we have to be saved from sin and saved from death. And so we lead with Romans 3 23 for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (07:54):
Okay, I’ve sinned, you’ve sinned, we’ve all made mistakes. What is sin? What do you say? If someone asks you what is sin?
Ethan Hood (08:02):
Well, sin is the wrong things that we do, the things that keep us from God.
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (08:09):
And so when people sin, there’s a price that has to be paid. What’s that price?
Ethan Hood (08:15):
And so the Bible says in Romans 6 23, the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus.
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (08:26):
So Jesus was the only one who was ever sin free. He was the son of God and he, he died on the cross to take the price for our sins. So we’ve gone through grace and man, then we go to talking about God, what would you tell someone about God?
Ethan Hood (08:42):
And so a lot of people have misconceptions about God. Like I said earlier with the second question, they say, oh, well I’m a good person. I should get into heaven. They think that God is up there with a set of scales judging the things from the bad things you’ve done. And if you’ve done more good things than bad things, then you get into heaven. And so we really just explained that this is not how heaven works. And so heaven is a free gift and that leads into Christ.
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (09:09):
So if you’re talking about God, you might quote John three 16 there. Can you quote that for us? Do you know John three 16?
Ethan Hood (09:17):
For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever shall believe in him shall be given eternal life
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (09:25):
And kind of explain what does that verse mean? Imagine you’re talking to someone they maybe haven’t heard John three 16 or they don’t really know what it means. What do you tell ’em it means?
Ethan Hood (09:36):
Yeah. So Jesus Christ came down from heaven and was born as a baby and he lived a sinless life and died on the cross for our sins. And if we believe in Jesus Christ, then we will be saved and we’ll be given eternal life in heaven.
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (09:54):
Alright, so you talk about God, God loved the world so much, he gave his only son, and then you talk about Christ. What would you tell them about Jesus Christ?
Ethan Hood (10:04):
Yeah, so with Christ, we start off with Ephesians two, eight through nine, which says four, by grace we are saved through faith and that not of ourselves, it’s the gift of God not of works so that no one should boast.
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (10:21):
Okay, so why was Jesus’ death on the cross necessary? Why was that needed for people to be saved?
Ethan Hood (10:28):
Well, we said in man sin, you have to pay a price for our sin. And so Jesus died on the cross for our sin. He paid the ultimate price so that we could live free sinless lives with Jesus. And so that’s what Christ is talking about. For our grace, we are saved through faith.
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (10:50):
Alright, then we come to the fifth and final term that you talk about and that is faith. What is faith? How can someone have faith? How do we put our faith in Jesus Christ?
Ethan Hood (11:02):
Yeah, people really don’t know what faith is. So faith is kind of like trust. Faith is sitting in a chair, which is a common example that we use. If you sit in a chair, you have full trust in the chair, you completely trust in the chair that it’s going to hold you up and it’s not going to break. If you see a chair that one of its legs is broken, you’re not going to sit in it, you’re not going to trust it. You’re not going to have faith in it, so you’re not going to sit down on it. And that’s what we have to do. We have to have faith in Jesus that he can save us.
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (11:36):
So we put our trust in Jesus, that through Jesus we can be saved.
Ethan Hood (11:41):
And so with a chair, if you sit down partially, but you still have all your weight on your feet, you’re not really sparing your feet, you’re still on your feet. So you have to put all of your trust in the chair so that you can have rest for your feet. See, you have to put all of your faith in Jesus. You can’t put some of your faith in Jesus and still try and do good things. Try to get into heaven that way. You have to put all of your faith in Jesus. That’s the only way to get into heaven.
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (12:12):
Alright, so then if someone says, I’m ready. I want to put my faith in Jesus right now. I want to make sure I’m going to heaven, I want to make sure I’m saved. How do you lead them in the process of putting their faith in Jesus?
Ethan Hood (12:25):
Yeah, so we just start off with again, or not again, sorry. Romans 10, nine. If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. And it’s really that simple. You have to confess with your mouth and believe in your heart. And so we just lead them in the salvation prayer.
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (12:47):
Okay, well why don’t you lead us in a salvation prayer right now. What would that sound like?
Ethan Hood (12:54):
Well, very simply, it’s just, Jesus, thank you for dying on the cross for me and for my sins. Thank you for your forgiveness that you’ve given me, and thank you for helping me to live with you forever. Jesus name, amen.
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (13:10):
Amen. Alright, and then after someone says a salvation prayer with you, then what happens?
Ethan Hood (13:15):
Well, after that we ask if there’s anything they need prayer for, any problems that they have, family issues, anything like that.
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (13:23):
Alright, this is a great outline and you do a great job of quoting the scriptures, knowing how to present the gospel. Does this work, have you actually seen some people come to Jesus as you’ve been talking to them? Give me some testimonies. What have you seen happen?
Ethan Hood (13:41):
Yeah, this works all the time. Every time we go there are people who just come up interested and we tell them about this wonderful gift that God gave us and they believe. I remember one time we were at a community event, not a church outreach or anything, and it started raining. So we put up a tent to help people just get away from the rain. And so there was this family that was under this tent and they were just sitting there and we weren’t trying to force ’em or anything, we were just there, just reaching out to them, giving them water as we do. And eventually they just came up and asked, you guys are really nice, why are you like this? My dad and me, we just helped them go through this process and we just went through the process. This process is very adaptable so you don’t haveta halt, always start with the two questions. And so they didn’t come asking about the two questions. They came asking about why we’re so kind. And so with this process, it’s really easy. You can just share the gospel with anyone. And so we were able to lead these people to the Christ just originally just being kind to them and then helping them with this.
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (14:59):
And you often give out water or something to people who are coming by.
Ethan Hood (15:04):
So we give out water and sometimes other drinks if they’re available and we just give them out. Sometimes it’s hot days and so they need water. So we’re just able to help the community and just help.
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (15:17):
Alright, I got some rapid fire questions for you. One question is, what is the oldest person you’ve shared the gospel with and then what’s the youngest person you’ve shared the gospel with?
Ethan Hood (15:29):
Oldest person I’ve shared the gospel with, well, the cool thing about this, I haven’t just done this with my truck. I’ve been on mission trips and I’ve helped with this too. The oldest person I’ve shared the gospel with I think was in Florida. We were on a mission trip one year and we were going to door to door and knocking and just telling them about a block party that we were doing with our ministry there. And so we were just talking with them and if given the chance, we would tell them about Christ and tell them about Jesus. And so when we were talking, this old lady came to the door, I dunno how old she was, but she was maybe 60 or 70 and we were just,
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (16:08):
Yeah, that’s really old.
Ethan Hood (16:09):
Yeah, we were just talking with her.
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (16:11):
Don’t tell my grandma that.
Ethan Hood (16:14):
But we were just talking with her and just telling her about this block party and she was saying, oh, I don’t know if I can make it. And so we just started talking about how this gift that God gave us and how we can live free of the burden of sin. And so we just led her to Christ through that, just knocking on doors, giving out flyers, talking about Jesus.
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (16:40):
That’s awesome. What about the youngest person? How young have you shared the gospel with someone, the
Ethan Hood (16:45):
Youngest person? Well, I think again, on the mission trip at this block party that we had, a lot of families came and a lot of children came because we were giving out clothes and toys and stuff. And well, we let our ministry let an altar call at this place and the people who lifted their hands, we would go out through them and just pray for them and just help them through it and just help them understand what they’re getting into because we don’t want to sign them up without actually telling them what they’re getting into. So we were doing this and there was this little boy who raised his hand and he was just wanting to know Jesus.
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (17:27):
How old do you think this little boy was?
Ethan Hood (17:30):
He must’ve been six.
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (17:33):
About six years old. Yeah. Okay. So from six all the way up to 70, you’ve seen the two questions work in sharing the gospel. Okay, here’s another question for you. How many times, just an estimate, doesn’t need to be exact, but how many times in the last 12 months do you think you’ve gone out with a truck witnessing?
Ethan Hood (17:55):
Yeah, so we’ve mainly done it over the summer, over the hot months, just handing out waters and things like that. And we really helped a lot during Covid as well, just handing out food and ministering, stuff like that. So over the past 12 months, we’ve probably gone to an event almost every month, so maybe 10
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (18:16):
Times. Wow, that’s amazing. Now each time you go out, how many times would you share the gospel typically?
Ethan Hood (18:22):
Well, when you go out to these events, they’re sometimes mainly Christian events that are held by Christian organizations. So I wouldn’t start with these two questions maybe 10 to 15 times, but five out of those I would actually share the gospel with and 10, they would already be saved.
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (18:42):
So if you’ve done it like 10 times this year, you’ve probably shared the gospel anywhere from 50 to a hundred times this year. That’s pretty impressive for a 14-year-old to share the gospel. Now, how many people would you estimate that you’ve prayed a prayer of salvation with?
Ethan Hood (19:00):
Yeah, so a lot of people, they hear this story and they’re really moved, but they’re not really ready yet. So we don’t push them, we just only do it when they’re ready. See, sometimes these people, they’ve been going through a lot and there’s been so much leading up to this moment. And so when they finally ask, they’re ready for it. And so sometimes this is the first step in their process. Sometimes we’re the first step in the process for them being saved sometimes or the last out of the however many times I’ve shared the gospel with them, I’d say maybe 20 or so.
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (19:34):
Wow, that’s amazing. I mean, for a 14-year-old young man to be able to share the gospel that many times and to lead 20, probably even more people that you’ve actually led to Jesus is really impressive. Now, last March you got to go on a mission trip with us down to the nation of El Salvador. And my son was on the trip too. What was one of the things on that trip that really moved you, that God really did in your life when you were in El Salvador?
Ethan Hood (20:10):
Yeah, in El Salvador. Man, that mission trip was so amazing there. After one of the Crusades, I believe, or maybe it was the night before we had a crusade just talking about it. I just realized, and a lot of us realized that we are on this mission trip to save people, but this is also helping us personally. And so on Wednesday night we had a massive worship session and the pastor of our church came down to help with this and we just had this massive worship and we really just had massive baptism in this pool at the hotel that we were staying at. And so many people were getting baptized. And eventually towards the end I decided to get baptized too. And that was really impactful for me. And
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (21:07):
What did it mean for you in your life spiritually?
Ethan Hood (21:10):
Well, spiritually, I was sharing the gospel. I was going out and I believed it, but I wasn’t really talking to God. I was praying for these people, but I wasn’t praying to God. I wasn’t really having a connection with God. I knew he was my savior. I knew that he was my friend, but I never really understood that on a personal level. And so after that, I just started, whenever I was praying for people, I wouldn’t just pray for them to a spiritual guy up in the sky floating around. I would pray to a friend and asking them, please help this person. Help them to realize that you are so much more than just an angel floating around up in the sky who has magical powers. You are a real person who can help them. And it just really came on a deep person.
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (22:13):
And so your relationship with God really became more personal and God really moved in your life. That is so awesome, Ethan. Thank you so much for sharing. If you want to know more about the ministry of Ron and Christina Hood and Ethan Hood, and the entire family is involved, you can find out more about them by going to their website must go missions.com. And so you spell that M-U-S-G-O missions.com. And on the website there’s a place where you can give to them through PayPal. You can be involved in helping them to go out. If you are in the Tulsa area, the Oklahoma area, you can connect with them and actually go out and volunteer and help to witness to people. They’re doing stuff almost every single month. And so you can get involved in helping to witness to people. And so let’s just finish up today, Ethan, by praying for the people who are listening today, would you just pray that everyone who’s listening would have boldness to share the gospel? Maybe they’re much older than you, but if a 14-year-old can do it, I think anyone can do it. And so just pray that we all have boldness to talk to people about Jesus.
Ethan Hood (23:40):
Oh dear God, I just thank you so much for all that you’re doing in all these lives, and thank you for everyone listening that you are helping them to realize that no matter what age they are, no matter who they are, that you can help them and you can empower them to lead anyone to Christ and you can connect with them on a personal level. I thank you that if there’s anyone watching who may not be saved, I thank you that you are just working in them. Jesus name, amen.
Evangelism Coach Daniel King (24:12):
Amen. Well, Ethan, thank you so much for being on the Evangelism Podcast. Yes,
Ethan Hood (24:17):
Thank you.

There’s two things you can do to help. First of all, can you go find the Evangelism podcast on Apple iTunes and leave us a positive review by giving a review, you will help other people find these valuable resources about sharing our faith. And second, would you become a financial partner with King Ministries. Every single dollar that people give us enables us to lead at least one person to Jesus. And so that means for only $1, you can help start a party in heaven. And so today I want to invite you to become a monthly partner. You can start out for just a dollar, but if God puts it on your heart to do more, of course you can do more. But please go to king ministries.com and become a monthly partner with us today to help us to lead more people to Jesus. Thank you so much, and God bless you.
