In this thesis, the author describes and evaluates the missionary evangelism methodology practiced by the Latin America Mission and known as Evangelism in Depth. The Latin America Mission is an interdenominational missionary society with headquarters in San Jose, Costa Rica and with a ministry that reaches into all of Latin America. The description of Evangelism in Depth is detailed, with particular stress placed on its field application in the several Latin American countries where it has been used, namely, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Venezuela, Bolivia, and Dominican Republic. However, the author also gives due consideration to the theory of the program, and to the background that led to its adoption by the Latin America Mission. The evaluation measures the worth of Evangelism in Depth by the Word of God especially, but also in the light of modern Latin American history and experience. Also, before drawing his conclusions, the author includes a survey of other opinions about the program. He has a special concern to understand the significance of the program for Lutheran evangelism in Latin America. Since for some time the author has been active in missionary work in Latin America, the subject of evangelism in that area is of personal concern. By means of this study, he seeks to learn how his own evangelism ministry and that of his Lutheran colleagues may be more effective.
