The Story Behind Emerging Evangelists

Nearly two years ago God impressed an idea on my heart to start a blog website with several other young evangelists.  I was rather new to the concept of blogging, but fell in love with the opportunity to share the Scriptures and the messages God was giving me with people all over the world.  It's amazing to think that no other generation has had the opportunities we have to impact people's hearts through avenues like blogging and social media.  At that time, I joined with three other young evangelist friends (Jason Maupin, Jacob Jester, and for a short time Chris Mancl) and asked them to join me on this journey that we dubbed Emerging Evangelists.  Soon after we added Roger Coles and Chris Palmer to our list of contributors.  

We started out writing specifically for those who sensed a calling on their lives to be traveling evangelists in the vocational sense.  About a six months ago, a close friend cast a wider vision for me which God used to start to working on my heart - that Emerging Evangelists would be an online evangelism portal.  The blogs expanding to be for the whole Church or every Christian in the area of reaching those without Christ in this generation.  Since this conversation, we have added double the contributors (with more to come!) and the website has been skillfully revamped by Sheepish Design.  The original vision of Emerging Evangelists has not changed, but our scope has increased dramatically.  

Our prayer is that God would help evangelism and evangelists to emerge from past negative associations into a more ancient, Biblical model.  Really, that reaching others for Christ would emerge to be all Christ has called it (and us) to be.
