Here is a great article from the InterVarsity Evangelism blog. If you are calibrating your church or campus ministry to be more fruitful evangelistically, please read this. It has great advice. Here are a few excerpts below and a link to the whole post.

I recently sat down with a man who knows a thing or two about helping InterVarsity chapters recalibrate their outreach.

He gave me five great pointers that are useful for any chapter to stop and reflect upon.
