Everyone His Witness
August 26th & 27th 5:00 to 8:00 pm.
In this two-evening workshop, taught by Pastor Malinak, you will learn how to naturally share the Good News of Jesus Christ with the people in your everyday life. Learn how to listen, ask non-accusatory questions, and openly share the Gospel with honesty. Dinner and materials are provided.
Everyday Boldness Workshop
Grow in Boldness to Share the Good News. Everyday missionaries need everyday boldness. In this one-morning workshop, we will identify reasons Christians might lack boldness to share the Gospel. We will examine what the Bible has to say, in order to gain a new perspective; where our focus is on God, His ability, and His faithfulness to His Word. Taught by Steve Burke, on Saturday, August 3rd from 8:30-11:30 AM.
