In this presentation, David Kliedinst gives a deep dive into the effectiveness of the Forecasting Hope series builder. This comprehensive evangelism package includes 21 Christ-centered messages and resources for conducting a successful evangelistic series. The goal of the package is to help churches engage with their communities and make meaningful connections with individuals, leading them to make decisions and move forward in their faith.

Decisions are not just for professional evangelists, but for everyone. Three important factors in helping people make decisions are: understanding human nature, having a Christ-like love for people, and being willing to ask for a decision.
