What role should a father take in evangelism?

Kevin Swanson explains in this video that a man has to be the leader of his family in the area of evangelism. Sending your child to witness to a peer at his school is very unwise. Fathers ought to be the ones who demonstrate to their families how to evangelize to unbelievers.

A father's lack of desire to evangelize often stems from them neglecting to saturate themselves in Scripture and lacking a passion for the Word of God. If a man truly is passionate for saving souls, he will be evangelizing through his family by inviting unbelievers to his home and not be afraid to share the Gospel with unbelievers.

Ephesians 6:4 (NKJV) - "And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord."

Our Lord's last command is our first priority. In the church, in the family, in the city, to the ends of the earth. Join us in October for White Under Harvest. The man's got to be the leader. You know, this idea of sending your seven-year-old across the street to witness to an unsaved seven-year-old, Or the idea of sending a seven-year-old to a public school to witness to all these kids who don't know Christ is absurd.

This is the lack of fathers who are sanctified by the reading of the word themselves. They're not saturated in the word. They have no passion for the kingdom of God. Now if you have a man who's just passionate to see souls brought to a saving knowledge of Christ and the kingdom of God expanded in his lifetime, if that's why he's living his life, He's going to be extending that kingdom through his family and through the hospitality that his family engages in. He's going to be reaching out to the strangers.

He will evangelize.
