#19 – Evangelism Class – Group Leader: Celina Bowman
Description: Confession!! I am 60 years old and have been a Christian for over half my life. I have facilitated Bible studies, chaired VBS’s, served in food pantries and hosted charity events but never have I directly led someone to Christ! Does it not say in Mark 16:16 “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.” Well, I have missed the mark even though I have done many supporting things for the kingdom, I do not know how to share MY story. “This group study helps group members identify people and places already in their daily routines, encouraging and empowering them to share the good news of Jesus Christ. Evangelism shouldn’t be an artificial religious sales pitch. We should build bridges with our stories to connect people to the heart of the Savior.” Not everyone has a WOW story but we do know a WOW God, so let’s learn and support each other in learning how to best share our Jesus with the life experiences we have. Whether you have experience in evangelism or not, we can all learn from this class. This class has 6 video sessions with discussion questions and I am bringing in a guest speaker to help teach us for the other 2 weeks.
Times: Wednesdays at 6:00 PM – Jan 8-Feb 26 – Room 106
