It appears that many in the Church today have misconceptions about their primary purpose. Lay people assume evangelism is the responsibility of Pastors to preach the gospel. Pastors pass the task over to evangelists, and evangelists try to motivate lay people to serve as laborers. The cycle hinders the church's ability to be effective in reaching their communities for Christ. Christ has called each Christian to be a witness. Every Christian should be actively sharing his or her fiath with others.

The goal of Personal Evangelism is to equip students in the basic skills and principles of sharing the gospel and leading that individual into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
