Dr. Chuck Kelley. President Emeritus and Distinguished Research Professor of Evangelism at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary delivers a message to the 2017 Alabama State Evangelism Conference. His message is an exhortation on what it takes to actually make an impact on the world for Christ.

Notes:
The message concerns the essential needs that must be addressed before a church or organization can create a successful evangelistic strategy. The most significant need is the Christ-Likeness of Church Members.

5 evidences of someone becoming Christ-Like:
1 Will - Surrendering to what God would have us do2 Watch - Are we setting time aside for Jesus? The key to discipleship3 Word - Becoming more Christlike through the study of His word4 Wallet - Monetary decisions that honor God as sole Lord and in accord with His word5 Witness - Gospel Conversations or verbal sharing of the story of Christ
Dr. Kelley concludes his message with one other element to consider in properly fueling an evangelistic strategy. 'The Missing Ingredient' revealed  in Luke 15, according to Dr. Kelley, is the lack of concern for lost people. Dr. Kelley passionately explains that every Christian needs the tension of people dying lost around them. To turn around and bring back the tension and concern in Christians, Dr. Kelley explains 3 processes to help.

To summarize the message as a whole:
A passion to save the lost and a transformation into greater Christ-Likeness for every church member is key to see an evangelistic strategy be successful.
