9am till 4 pm
Sharing our personal faith in Jesus is God’s great love story that the Church is uniquely called to practice and spiritually gifted to accomplish. In this study we will seek to understand evangelism as natural and spontaneous. This study will balance learning with the practice of sharing one’s faith in order for you to begin or renew an evangelism ministry in your congregation.
At the end of the Study you will…
- Discover and share “my” personal faith as a love story. Sharing the Jesus “I” know.
- Discover and share “our” congregational love story as the intersection of the congregation’s passion for ministry with a great need of the world. Sharing the Jesus we know as a faith community.
- Begin to overcome any personal hesitation to share your faith and pray with and for others with five practice opportunities.
- And much more!
