The key to building evangelistic momentum is disciple-making. Disciple-making in the context of abundant evangelism.
Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up, grew and produced a crop, multiplying thirty, sixty, or even a hundred times. Mark 4:8
Discipleship without evangelism is not discipleship. It s actually recycle-ship. Brian Zunigha
Oh God! Give me souls or I die. George Whitefield
When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field. Matthew 9:36-38

Follow my example as I follow the example of Christ 1 Corinthians 11:1
Having called his men, Jesus made a practice of being with them. This was the essence of his training program just letting his disciples follow him. It is good to tell people what we mean, but it is infinitely better to show them. People are looking for a demonstration, not an explanation. One living sermon is worth a hundred explanations. Robert Coleman In Master Plan of Evangelism
