Evangelism! There I said it! For some persons that has become a four letter, unacceptable word.
Why? Well there are many reasons, negative feeling because of past abuses of Christian trying to manipulate persons into the faith, in your face kind of faith sharing, judgmental attitudes towards no believers and lots of other reasons.
Yet, yesterday I had the joy of attending a wonderful workshop that was focused on Evangelism!
And on top of that 500 leaders from our annual conference were there to learn and be challenged by God to "Offer Christ to All!"
I can remember a time when this kind of event would not have been widely accepted in the Southwest Texas Annual Conference. And to see our Bishop and our District Superintendents leading us to be more faithful to the Great Commission by saving souls and doing justice was just what the doctor ordered for this portion of Christ's church.
I can't wait to see how God uses this to energize us at FUMC Del Rio, and across the conference.
I am truly blessed,
Revrick
