“Every Christian who desires to faithfully answer the call to share the gospel will find this book [Welcome to Witness] to be an invaluable guide. Built on timeless biblical truths, it offers a clear and compelling path to connect with those who are lost—not through gimmicks, but through genuine, heartfelt engagement. This resource not only reminds us of the clarity and urgency of the gospel message but stands out for its practical application. The ‘how-to’s’ are incredibly helpful, and the Appendix alone makes it a book worth keeping within arm’s reach. Highly recommended!”

“What a joy for me to recommend to you and every church, this exciting, dynamic, helpful, simple, yet profound work! This book calls us back to the priority of our Christian witness through practicing hospitality through relationships. Thank you, Levi and Rob! You have done all of us a favor by releasing your new book, Welcome to Witness!”

“What an encouraging, convicting, and refreshing read from Dr. Rob Peters and Dr. Levi Skipper. In Welcome to Witness: Next Step Evangelism, the convictional call to return to biblical hospitality as an open door for evangelism is clear and concise. With hearts of a shepherd, minds of a scholar, and the passion of a soul-winner, these experienced pastors will rekindle your affection for lost souls. Do yourself a favor and don’t just buy one for yourself, but also for your staff.”

“Dr. Rob Peters and Dr. Levi Skipper have done church leaders and church members a great service with their book Welcome to Witness: Next Step Evangelism. Combining pastoral concern to encourage evangelism with the tactical guidance of apologists, this is a work that is sensitive to the culture moment in which we live, and at the same time, relies upon the timeless gospel of Christ for its effectiveness. In short, Peters and Skipper develop an evangelistic approach that is easily accessible, imminently practical, and solidly grounded in Scripture. This is a book that I will be recommending regularly!”

“Hospitality is a central part of reaching people for Christ. Welcome to Witness reminds us of God’s Biblical call to use our homes as a center for outreach and life-giving ministry to our neighbors. Christians from every generation can benefit from the teaching, encouragement, and simple, step-by-step ideas that are concisely provided in this resource to reach our neighbors for Christ.”

“Sharing our faith was never meant to be a burden we ‘have to’ carry, but a joy we ‘want to’ embrace. Welcome to Witness is an inspiring guide that makes this step both clear and compelling. With rich theology, practical tools, and authentic stories, these pages will equip you to live and speak in a way that leaves an eternal impact.”

“I sat down to start reading Welcome to Witness: Next Step Evangelism and ended up reading it in one sitting! Levi and Rob are evangelism practitioners with years of experience in leading churches and training people to share the gospel. They present an amazing way to share the gospel that is tailormade for today’s culture. Their secret sauce in evangelism is rediscovering hospitality as a responsibility to reach the lost. They refer to hospitality as a sacred calling and demonstrate ways that your home could be one of the greatest evangelistic tools you possess. Welcome to Witness is biblically sound and gives practical steps to engage in gospel conversations. I loved the book and plan onsharing it with pastors across our state.”

“So many Christians long to share their faith but don’t feel equipped or lack the courage to do so. Welcome To Witness simplifies evangelism by centering it around the lost art of hospitality. Instead of a program to implement or a complex outline to memorize, this resource helps readers think about and learn how to have natural gospel conversations in the context of everyday relationships. What I love most about this book is how practical and accessible it is—it’s the perfect resource for learning how to share one’s faith in a way that is uncompromising yet extremely engaging. I highly recommend Skipper and Peters’ work to individuals, small groups, and churches that want to move forward in their gospel witness.”

“As followers of Jesus, we are to make Jesus known to those God puts in our path. However, we all know the struggle for Christians to intentionally live this out every day is real. Very few believers ever tell a lost person about Jesus. In fact, most believers don’t know where to start. Dr. Levi Skipper and Dr. Rob Peters have designed an insightful, practical guide that helps believers take the next steps, even if the next step is really your first step in witnessing to others about Jesus. From engaging hospitality as a missional lifestyle to a simple, clear method for proclaiming the Gospel, this book has it all. If you are looking for something to help you and your church family intentionally live out the Great Commission, then Welcome to Witness is designed just for you!”

“What an important and practical book [Welcome to Witness], reminding us 21st century Christians how few people today have basic Bible knowledge or even a common moral foundation when they receive our witness. God, help us to see and embrace the opportunities that compassionate relationships and loving, prayerful hospitality can bring for creative gospel conversations.”

“Most followers of Jesus strongly believe in the power of the gospel. However, while they believe in that power, they can feel weak and unprepared to personally share the gospel with those they know. If that sounds like you, you are in good company. Thankfully, Levi Skipper and Rob Peters have developed a resource that actually makes personal evangelism ‘personal.’ It places the opportunity to share the gospel at a place where you can receive it beginning with a fresh look at the importance of hospitality. The reader also learns how to identify and respond to those in crisis with the understanding the crisis can open a door to the gospel. The method for sharing is easy to learn and proven through the personal experiences of the writers. Salvation is a work of the Holy Spirit, but followers of Jesus are His instruments and His mouthpiece for sharing the gospel as they go through each week. Take your next step in evangelism by reading and trusting God to grow you through his word as you read this book [Welcome to Witness] and take your witness to the next level!”

“Anyone interested in presenting the gospel to people in an ever-changing culture needs to read, study, and teach Welcome to Witness. The authors have given us fresh insights and strategies to reach this generation. The chapter, ‘The Gospel of Jesus’, is worth the price of the book. I will definitely use this amazing resource to teach evangelism to our folks.”

“If you do your homework on Levi Skipper, on the surface you will quickly learn that he is an effective pastor and proven leader. The Lord has truly blessed every church that Levi has served, from Ewing Road Baptist Church in Austell, Georgia, to Concord Baptist Church in Clermont, Georgia, and now to Sagemont Church in Houston, Texas. I had the privilege of getting to know Levi beyond the surface level during our service together at the Georgia Baptist Mission Board. I can tell you that Levi has a hot heart for the gospel and truly does what Paul encouraged his mentee Timothy to do—the work of the evangelist. Levi faithfully witnesses publicly every Sunday from the pulpit and personally in the streets. As a result, he writes Welcome to Witness: Next Step Evangelism from the perspective of a practitioner. In this work, he offers practical insights to help believers engage the lost and effectively proclaim the gospel. He provides the believer with both a gospel tool and a strategy to fulfill the task of personal evangelism. So, whether you are new to the faith or a seasoned saint, this book will be a valuable resource to you. It is both theologically sound and practically rich. Without hesitation, I recommend this resource to you.”
