Chapter 18—Community Awareness

Compilers’ note: Because the book Evangelism has already covered the subject thoroughly, this section is purposely more limited than its importance warrants.PaM 115.1

Christ followed various methods to gain the attention of the multitude—From Christ's methods of labor we may learn many valuable lessons. He did not follow merely one method; in various ways He sought to gain the attention of the multitude, and having succeeded in this, He proclaimed to them the truths of the gospel. His chief work lay in ministering to the poor, the needy, and the ignorant. In simplicity He opened before them the blessings they might receive, and thus he aroused their soul's hunger for the truth, the bread of life.—The Review and Herald, December 24, 1914.PaM 115.2
