Implementing Evangelism and Church Growth at the Olive Grove Laotian Baptist Church, College Park, Georgia

This dissertation designed an implementation of evangelism and church growth. Chapter 1 provides the ministry context of the Oliver Grove Laotian Baptist Church. It includes the purpose, goals, rationale, definitions, limitations, and research methodology. Chapter 2 presents the biblical and theological basis for doing evangelism and church growth. The chapter presents individuals in Old and New Testaments who were involved in the work of evangelism and church growth. Chapter 3 provides historical, cultural, and sociological foundation of the Laotian people. It underscores the importance of understanding the cultural, historical, and religious backgrounds of the Laotian people. Chapter 4 describes the implementation of the project. The seminar covers two major topics: (1) evangelism and church growth and (2) discipleship and church growth. Chapter 5 presents evaluation and modifications of the project for future implementation. This project affirms the increasing necessity and urgency to be equipped for evangelism in response to the deteriorating trend of the congregation evangelism.
