Evangelism Training

Mission Weekends

The Evangelism Task Group can come and chat with laity and clergy in your parish about the prospect of planning and running a mission weekend.

Sometimes in the Christian life it is good to have a focused period of mission and outreach.

Planning and running a mission weekend can be a good, non-threatening way of encouraging the church to share the good news of Jesus Christ in your community. Some of the key elements of planning a mission weekends could be:

• Prayer: For insight direction and vision
• Assessing: What God is already doing in your community
• Pondering: How we might engage with your community with a gospel focus
• Training: Supporting church members in faith sharing and nurture
• Planning: Specific events and programmed activities
• Running: A mission event or events
• Following up: Contacts and interest generated.

The Evangelism Task Group will be happy to pray and plan with you as well as provide small groups of people to help run specific events and follow up.

Evangelism training could include:

• Evangelism Lite - How to share your faith in a non threatening way
• Making contacts: Growing a church fringe
• Making friends: creating a culture of welcome
• Reaching the SAGA generation
