Got Style?® Evangelism Training Event
If going door to door, preaching on a street corner, distributing tracts, and standing up before a large crowd is what you think of when you think of evangelism and such thoughts make you feel bad about sharing the Good News, then this engaging and exciting event is for you!
Coming…
Friday and Saturday,
November 20-21, 2009
First Baptist Church of Macedon
58 Main Street, Macedon, NY 14502
Host Pastor: Rev. Carol Holtz-Marten
Simply Put, Got Style®:
- Relieves guilt and apprehension about evangelism
- Helps people overcome feelings of inadequacy and incapacity and promotes confidence and competence
- Leads people from Maintenance-mode to missional thinking and working
- Seeks to involve the whole church body
- Allows the Holy Spirit to work in our lives in normal, natural, non-threatening ways
Dr. Jeffrey A. Johnson will share what evangelism IS and what it ISN’T. You will discover your own style of evangelism and that of others present from your church. This will be a time of inspiration, instruction, and interaction. You will leave with a knowledge of how to assess and empower yourself to do evangelism and outreach that builds meaningful relationships and flows naturally out of the way you are wired by God. You will leave this training event with things you can use right here and right now, even as soon as you walk out the door. You don’t want to miss this opportunity to grow closer to the Lord and as a church.
Schedule of the Training Event:
- Friday, 7-9:30pm - A session that is designed for pastors and leaders of your church.
- Saturday, 9am-12pm - A session designed for your whole congregation
- Saturday 12:30pm - Lunch will be provided by the First Baptist Church of Macedon at a suggested donation of $7.
Dr. Jeffrey A. Johnson serves as National Director of Evangelism for the American Baptist Churches USA under the auspices of the Board of National Ministries.
As National Director, Jeff collaborates with American Baptist national and regional staff committed to the denominational NEW LIFE 2010 goal to make 1,000,010 new disciples for Christ by the year 2010. Part of his responsibility is to assist our 33 regions and 3 geographic areas in developing strategic evangelism plans and programs. In order to accomplish such, he travels extensively, since coming on board in 2001, to speak, teach, equip, consult, and interact on local, associational, regional, and national levels. His strong Christ centered emphasis on personal evangelism is rooted in the Word of God. He believes, as does our denomination that each of our 6000 local congregations are individually the fundamental units of ministry, not the least of which is where the most effective evangelism occurs.
Dr. Johnson holds a Ph.D. in Theology from Tyndale Seminary, an M.A. in Ministry from Carolina University, and a B.A. in Philosophy from California State University.
Jeff is married to Karen Kinney, his wife of nineteen years. They have two children, an eighth grade, 13 year old daughter, Jonae, and a second grade, 7 year old son, Judson Adoniram. They make their home outside Charleston, West Virginia.
Your support of United Missions and American For Christ allows Dr. Johnson and other national as well as regional staff to assist our local congregations to impact their communities for Jesus Christ. Thank you!
