In today’s religiously diverse and increasingly secular society, many Christians find it challenging to share their faith in a way that is both authentic and respectful. This series seeks to equip us to be faithful witnesses of Christ by cultivating hearts of gentleness, humility, and genuine love for others.
Together, we will reflect on our approach to evangelism, develop Christ-like attitudes in engaging people of different beliefs, and discover natural, meaningful ways to share the hope we have in Jesus.

We live in a religiously plural and increasingly secularist society. The modes of evangelism that had been successful in the past (e.g. mass evangelistic rallies, street evangelism, one-way Gospel presentations, apologetical evangelism, etc.) are waning in receptiveness to both non-believers and believers. Public perception of Christians and Christianity are also changing as the Church in Singapore engages more openly in public square issues giving rise to views (rightly or wrongly) of Christians as being intolerant or bigoted. Such societal conditions affect the Church’s witness & evangelism in 2 broad ways:
- Non-Christians become less open to having religious conversations with Christians through which the gospel may be shared;
- Christians, particularly those of the Millennials and younger generations, feel a tension in sharing their faith with others as they do not want to come across as “pushy or disrespectful towards people of other faith.”
While there are many resources on witnessing and evangelism already available, we believe that one rooted in gentleness and humility fills a current gap in recognising the sensitivities of our modern day will contribute to equipping and increasing the confidence of the Church.
This series is not aimed at building intellectual knowledge or arguments for apologetics or debate, nor does it promote another new or fixed tactic of evangelism. Our hearts are for this to be a learning journey, with an invitation for us to do the following together:
- Critically reflect on our paradigms and postures, and own the need for change to be witnesses of Christ – in the spirit of Christ;
- Renew our minds and hearts, and cultivate new dispositions when engaging with others with different convictions from us; and
- Explore new ways of engagement with others that we will find natural to do in light of our faith in Jesus, and that invites them to get to know Jesus in contrast to securing their reception of a set of religious propositions
