The Promise of Shoe Leather Evangelism
It is difficult to imagine something further from what someone thinks of when asked to describe “The Episcopal Church” than knocking on doors. This hit home for me when planting King of Peace in Kingsland. One homeowner opened the door of his impressive home on a golf course, saw me in my clerical collar and laughed out loud. He was a Church of God pastor who saw an Episcopal priest knocking on his door as the surest sign of the End of Times.
To be sure, this work is not for everyone, but before you dismiss the idea of going up to neighbors houses to talk about Jesus, it might be best to discover what you are missing. I recommend the Rev. George Martin’s field tested, highly practical guide Door-to-Door Ministry: The Easy Way to Make Friends for Your Church which is available as a Kindle book from Amazon.com for $4.99.
Martin is an Episcopal priest, best known for having created the Church Ad Project which created such classics as “Jesus Died to Take Away Your Sins, Not Your Mind” or the image of a stuffed bunny with the text “Has the True Meaning of Easter Gotten a Bit Fuzzy?”

George has spent decades working on conversational evangelism and he distills his advice into this one slim volume. Bishop Benhase and I are taking this work seriously enough that we’ve scheduled to spend a December day knocking on doors in Pooler together with the Rev. Joshua Varner, the vicar of St. Patrick’s. We’ll split up, and put shoe leather to payment to see if we can make friends for our mission in that city. We’ll let you know how it goes. In the meantime, don’t wait for us. Download Martin’s book, put it into practice and let us know your results. Comparing our growth trends with those of our neighboring Mormon churhes suggests Martin is on to something.
