Dr. C.S. LovettRev. Jack Kerr HISTORY OF PERSONAL CHRISTIANITY PERSONAL CHRISTIANITY CHAPEL is a local church with a literature ministry. We are incorporated under the Laws of the State of California as a religious corporation
with dba Personal Christianity. We not only provide a worship center for the residents of the area, but exist as a "ministry of helps" (1 Cor 12:28) toward the "Body of Christ." PC is not
affiliated with any denomination, organization or council of churches. God has given PC the task of producing the spiritual mechanics for personal obedience to the Great Commission and maturity in the Christian life.
Unique, know-how tools are developed within the church and made available to God's people everywhere. Our outreach is by means of the U.S. Postal system and the Internet which makes possible personal contact
with Individuals and churches across the land and throughout the world. We bear the name PERSONAL CHRISTIANITY because we seek to involve people personally with the Lord Jesus, the Holy Spirit and the Great Commission.
Personal Christianity began in 1951. The Lord called four men together as a prayer band and shortly thereafter gave them the ENCOUNTER-METHOD of soul-winning. It was put to the test In street-meetings, jails,
missions as well as an intensive bedside ministry at Los Angeles County General Hospital. So effective was this plan, so simple and easy to use, the men believed It could be used to build a church.
Personal Christianity began as a soul-winning church. The four pioneers, C.S. Lovett, Jack Kerr, Warren Belknap and Andrew Parish, found the skill too precious to remain in one church alone, and undertook to put it in print. It came forth as "Soul-Winning Made
Easy." The response was instantaneous, the results thrilling. Quickly the men agreed this was a work of God which should not remain exclusively in the hands of their local church. Neither should anyone profit
financially from such a wonderful ministry. Consequently a series ot plans was added to the ENCOUNTER-METHOD by the Lord; the FORM-METHOD of visitation, the LADDER-METHOD of witnessing, the MIRROR-METHOD of maturity
as well as the allied skills of follow-up, soul-building, the anti-satan technique and the "nutcracker technique," etc. With such a beginning, Personal Christianity is today sending these skills into
seminaries, Bible schools, churches and lives over this land and all over the world. Testimonies from over the world certify the Spirit Himself has authorized these helps for His people. Every one connected with
Personal Christianity is deeply grateful for the privilege of holding these tools in trust for the Lord. We are especially pleased to have a free distribution program of our materials to prison chaplains and missionaries
