How do you evangelize? Do you use tracts? Invite people to church, or to an evangelism crusade? Do you use the Roman’s Road? Do you shout into a bullhorn that people are going to hell unless they repent?
In Jonah 3:4, we see how Jonah shared the message of God to the people of Nineveh. We’ll also see that his approach to evangelism left much to be desired.
The Text of Jonah 3:4
Jonah began to go into the city, walking for one day. He cried out, saying, “Forty more days and Nineveh will be overturned!”
In this discussion of Jonah 3:4 we look at:
- How Jonah evangelized the city of Nineveh
- Why Jonah’s obedience was … less than satisfactory
- How we too can evangelize others today

I don’t, because I’m not a moron who thinks kissing up to an immortal genocidal maniac is a good insurance policy. Y’know, you DID ask…
Marissa,
Before you blindly criticize what you think I believe and teach, it might be wiser to actually learn what I believe and teach.
Jeremy,
Thanks for the post. Your advice to “be” church to someone rather than simply inviting them was very convicting. I will work to dig a little deeper beyond the simple invitation (which frankly made me feel like I was “off the hook”) and see if I can get a “yes” from them somewhere else to share a different way.
Thanks, Brian. Yes, work to develop relationships and friendships. This is where evangelism really gets exciting.
