Cycle of evangelism

I'm posting an email I sent to a missionary friend this morning. We're really exploring these questions. How do you reach "seekers" that don't know they're seeking...who are perfectly content with their current lifestyles? We're doing everything we can to move past the thought that the local church is responsible for reaching the lost...it's just too big of a job and that method is just not working any longer. I thought I'd post this message to you all and see if any of you have any ideas...if you've thought about this before.

Hey,
I've been thinking this morning about how things work traditionally and maybe how they should/could work now as far as personal/church evangelism goes. I know that traditional it was sort of like this:

- i have a friend
- i invite friend to church
- church presents the Gospel
- friend might accept then, maybe not
- if friend is interested he keeps coming back for "Gospel nuggets"
- one day (hopefully) friend is saved and integrates him/herself into church "system"

Do you agree with that pretty much?

So what's the ideal?? We both agree that nothing can happen outside the walls of relationship. So, i know that we need to be more proactive when it comes to actually "seeking" the lost. But what then. I'm just thinking about our conversation yesterday and what it will take to turn the corner with (for example) the soccer guys. and then what's next? Just invite them to [church] even though most of us say that it's not really for them?

I'm just trying to think practically here. Any thoughts??
