Flipside Evangelism – Jay Ricci pt 2

The Flipside of Evangelism Today – John Jay Ricci pt 2

Evangelism.  When you hear that term, what comes to your mind? What do you think of when you hear that word – “Evangelism?”

For some, they think of someone standing on the street corner yelling at everyone that walks by, telling them they are “going to hell if they don’t repent – NOW.” All while waving a Bible in one hand and possibly a microphone in the other. Or some may think of traveling to far off land to hold huge open air revivals with thousands of people in attendance.

But, in actuality, evangelism is rarely like either of those things I just mentioned. In fact, you may not even realize it, but you are probably serving as an evangelist right now! If someone asks you about your faith, you are now an evangelist. That person is looking to you to explain why you have Faith in the Gospel and in Jesus Christ. 

The general definition of an evangelist is someone who “declares” something. In this instance, Faith in Jesus as the Savior. But it can go a whole lot deeper than that. 

My guest today is an evangelist that has made it his life’s calling to, not only share the Gospel, but also to help others understand their part in sharing the Gospel. And this topic is near and dear to my heart. My calling into the ministry is the calling of “Evangelist and a Teacher. I’ve also served in the calling of pastor of a church for a bit. But my anointing lies in evangelism and teaching. And for the last 27 years, that is what I’ve specialized in.

So when I heard about what “Jay” Ricci is doing with the “Open Air Campaigners Mission” and the book he has written, “Evangelism’s Flipside: A Journey of Reaping the Unexpected,” I just had to get him on the program to share this information with you.

How did you receive your calling into the ministry? And especially, into Evangelism? 

What is it you do there?

What has been the hardest thing about what you do?

What tips can you give others who are just starting down this evangelism path?

Tell us about your book. It was not originally intended to be published, right?

Is it available on Amazon?

If someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question, get more information or maybe to do an interview such as this. How can they get in touch with you?

I’ll put links to all of this down in the show notes.

Folks, evangelism is so important. It is the lifeblood, if you will, of the Body of Christ. The Bible says “life is in the blood.”  Well, without evangelism, there is nobody getting born again. We need to expand our outreach now, in this day and time, more than ever before. And that means, not just evangelism, but EFFECTIVE EVANGELISM.

I encourage you to go to the links below, get in touch with Jay. Get in touch with his organization. Find out how you can help. Find out how you can grow. Find out how you can learn all about effective evangelism.

That is all the time we have for today. For “Jay” Ricci, and myself, this is Pastor Bob reminding to BE BLESSED IN ALL THAT YOU DO!

About your host

Profile picture for TS Wright

TS Wright

Hello. My name is TS Wright, and I am the voice of the Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast and author/TV host of the God Centered Concept.

For the past 33 years I have been involved in Christian ministry. Ranging from ministry, teaching and coaching in both public and private high schools and college, I have worked with students, athletes and adults from all walks of life. I have been involved with a host of Christian organizations included but not limited to CRU, FCA and other outreach & church affiliated ministries. Also being ordained in Christian ministry and being both a biblical and historical scholar I have focused on Discipleship, Biblical truth, prophecy & historical theology. I have also authored 4 books, a journal and a devotional series which are all now in the editing phase.

In 2003 and 2004 the Lord cast a series of visions on my life as to what would become the God Centered Concept.

In 2016, the Lord called me to start writing.

In 2019, He cast another series of visions that has led me to now.

In 2023, I was led to starting Podcasting and through divine intervention found Pastor Bob. I became a frequent guest speaker on the Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast and being led by the Lord I have taken ownership of the Podcast.

I welcome all of you who are a part of the Kingdom Cross Roads community as well as everyone who is just joining our community as we continue to work to advance the Gospel and spark a Great Harvest. By expanding our message to the NOW TV Network it is our prayer that we can maintain the same level of quality messages and engaging conversations that you have been accustomed to. We thank you for your commitment to this community and we ask for your support and prayers as we strive to glorify God in all that He calls us to do.
