Evangelism Explosion
 
E.E. International Statement of Faith:
- "The Bible is the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.
- "There is one God, eternally existent in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
- "Our Lord Jesus Christ is God and Man in one Person. He was born of a virgin, lived a
sinless life, performed miracles, and vicariously atoned for sin through His
shed blood and death. He was bodily resurrected from the dead, He ascended to
the right hand of God the Father, and He will personally return in power and
glory.
- "Regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential for the
salvation of lost and sinful man.
- "Eternal life is received by faith—that is, trusting in Jesus Christ alone for salvation.
- "The Holy Spirit indwells all true believers and enables them to live a godly life.
- "Both the saved and the lost will be resurrected from the dead—they that are saved unto
the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of
damnation.
- "There is spiritual unity of all true believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
- "The local church is the primary God-established base of operation for evangelistic
activity in the world.
- "Inexperienced witnesses are best enabled to share the Gospel by participation in discipleship groups that include
on-the-job training in actual witnessing situations led by more experienced
witnesses."
Evangelism Explosion and
Youth E.E. were founded by Dr. D. James Kennedy of Coral Ridge
Presbyterian Church in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. It's a faith-sharing and
discipleship class that teaches a person how to share their faith, the message
of Jesus Christ, the love of God, and His gift of eternal life. Evangelism Explosion, E.E., is taught in all 211 countries
of the world and is translated and used in an effective manner to reach the people and culture of the county it's used in.
Trainers who have taken the 13-week class, or the week long E.E. clinic, are certified to lead a group of 2 other people in
going out on visitation and sharing the Gospel.
"EE’s simple but clear Gospel presentation is proving effective in winning
hundreds of thousands of souls to Christ.
EE is transforming churches by
equipping lay people to share their faith in actual witnessing experiences under
the guidance of experienced trainers. A survey done by Christianity Today
demonstrated that EE is today the most widely used tool for training pastors and
laity for evangelism. EE not only empowers trainees to gain confidence in
presenting the Gospel, it enables them to become trainers of other soul-winners,
thus setting entire churches on fire for evangelistic outreach to friends and
neighbors." - D. James Kennedy, Ph.D., Pastor of Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church, Ft. Lauderdale, FL.
