UK festival proves mass evangelism can last

Despite the positive and Biblical intent to reach as many as possible with the gospel, mass evangelism campaigns are often criticised as ineffective - but one festival in Teesside has proven otherwise.

Large-scale evangelistic events, while often drawing crowds and delivering powerful messages, can appear to be impersonal, and reducing the introduction to faith to a one-time event rather than fostering a lasting, transformative relationship with Jesus Christ. They are also criticised for being short term in nature - after the event ends, there is little ongoing engagement or support for the new believers.
