May the love and the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be upon you upon reading this letter of encouragement. Ann, I have good news for you my friend. Praise the Lord! I have just finished the evangelism training program titled Evangelism: the Time Is Now! I want to encourage you to go through this training program. You will learn a lot specifically in the area of Evangelism.

I remember when you told me eight years ago that Evangelism is not your calling or desire nor your gift. Yes, it is true that Evangelism is a spiritual gift that not all Christians have, but the Gift of Evangelism is not preaching the Gospel.

What then is the Gift of Evangelism? The Apostle Paul explains in Ephesians 4:11-12 "And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ"

Ann, since you already have the book, I encourage you to begin the training program. Chapter 1 titled "Evangelism Is Not a Spiritual Gift" tells you that Evangelism is the responsibility of all Christians, that we all need to do evangelism. Chapter 1 of Section 5 titled "Evangelism: the Responsibility of All Christians" reminds us that Jesus states that He wants us to be boiling hot in our relationship with Him. Do you remember sharing with me that I am boiling hot in sharing the Word of God, extreme as you put it? I responded "I would rather be boiling hot in sharing the goodness of Jesus Christ then cold." Well Jesus Christ said in Revelation 3:15-16,

"I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor boiling-hot; I would that you were cold or boiling-hot. So because you are lukewarm, and neither boiling-hot nor cold, I will spit you out of My mouth."

What did Jesus mean when He said He wants us to be boiling hot in our relationship with Him? He means that He wants us to be boiling hot in doing violence to our flesh to get close to Him to overcome our fears to live for Him.

Ann, every Chapter and section of this Textbook are wonderful. They teach us so much about Evangelism. Chapter 11 of Section 1 is titled "The Most Loving Thing You Can Do." The most loving thing we can do for another person is to share the love of Jesus Christ with them; this is because the only way a person gets to Heaven is by what they do with Jesus.

Ann, the author of this Textbook is my encourager and loving teacher through His writings. It is a great privilege and blessing for any believer and Church to go through this Evangelism Training Program.

Pastor-Evangelist Dale P. Kruse experienced a lot of wonderful miracles in writing and producing this wonderful Textbook on Evangelism. I highly recommend it to any believer, Church or Christian College. I look forward to your sharing with me what Jesus teaches you as you pursue and go through this Evangelism Training Program titled Evangelism: the Time Is Now!

Sincerely in Jesus,

Nenita L. Kruse

Critical Evaluation:

July 24, 2008

A Critical Evaluation of the Basic & Advanced Evangelism Training Program Taught by Pastor Dale Kruse

To my former Associates:

The Last Assignment in the Basic and Advanced Evangelism Training Program is to write a Positive and Critical Evaluation of each of these programs giving suggestions of what would improve the Training Program or what I thought was wrong with the Training Program.  After much prayer and careful consideration the answer I believe the Lord gave me was rather then needing to write Pastor Kruse a critical evaluation, I needed to write this critical evaluation to those who attacked and criticized this Training Program, I mean those people who criticized it who have not done the Training Program and know nothing about it.

As I began this training program, many people I know attacked and Criticized Pastor Kruse's Evangelism Training Program, people who had never read or done the Training Program. As of July 13, 2008 I completed both the Basic and Advanced Evangelism Training Program (normally a four semester college level program) which includes Pastor Kruse's teachings on Spiritual Warfare and I found nothing in it in conflict with God's Word or anything I was taught in the Church I was formally a member. Shame on these people who claim to be Christians who would slander a Minister's reputation they know nothing about for no reason whatsoever and as a result hinder God's people from receiving the instruction and benefit they so badly need in order to be fruitful witnesses for our Lord Jesus Christ. I have had four years to apply this material in my life and find that it works 100%. I found nothing about it in my own life personally, in my relationship with others or otherwise that warrants any criticism that has come against it. Part of the Training Program when completed, at the end of the Basic and at the end of the Advanced, is to write a critical evaluation expressing what we think is wrong with the Training Program and what we would suggest to correct or improve the Training Program. This is my Critical Evaluation:  After I completed both training programs I could honestly not find anything wrong with it, nothing! And so state it here in my critical evaluation.  I only have praise of this wonderful Training Program which answered all my prayers and gave me the answers I sought—former training did not provide.

While I benefited greatly from the instruction I received as a new Christian from my former Church, Pastor Kruse's Evangelism Training Program gave me the instruction, answers and know how, that is now a weekly life style of mine in Evangelism, my former Church could not. Through the instruction of His Evangelism Training Program based on forty years of experience on the field, I learned how to simply and practically communicate my faith to others and got 100% results. I learned also how to answer tough questions about the validity of my Christian Faith in a positive and loving way. Those who criticized this godly man of God in willful self-imposed ignorance would greatly benefit from doing this Evangelism Training Program.

I also have applied and practiced the Spiritual Warfare concepts I was taught, based on the Word of God, for the past four years and find it works 100% without error. Let me restate that:  100% without error.  I Have now the spiritual protection and peace of mind in all my daily situations in the Lord I did not have before and know how to gain that protection based on the Word of God. Those who criticized it, who never tried it are wrong and do not know what they are talking about. But then, is that not the work of Satan, to attack and slander anything that is a threat to his kingdom?

The Bible states in Proverbs 18:13 "He who gives an answer before he hears, it is folly and shame to him." The Folly and Shame is not in Pastor Kruse but in those who criticized a wonderful Evangelism Training Program they know nothing about. Jesus said in Matthew 7:20 "So then, you will know them by their fruits." I know the fruit of this Evangelism Training Program and the Man behind it in my own life personally and in doing Evangelism on the field for these past four years, that its teaching works on and off the field and I daily thank the Lord Jesus Christ for bringing this Evangelism Training Program into my life. It gave me the answers and know how previous training did not and was God’s answer to my prayers. But I also know the fruit of those people who attacked this man of God without reason or provocation while Pastor Kruse loved and freely gave of himself to them without Charge.

Sincerely in Jesus,

Nenita L. Kruse
