Forerunner Evangelism Intensive
Have you ever talked yourself out of bringing up Jesus with your unsaved neighbor because you didn’t know what you would say if she was actually interested? Has fear of rejection or a busy schedule kept you from acting on a burden to share the gospel with that guy who mows your lawn every week? Or do you feel a call to evangelism on your life but don’t know how to start walking it out?
Probably any of us can say yes to one of these questions. Evangelism can be an intimidating and nerve-wracking proposition, and it’s often easier to just avoid it altogether. But Mom always said the best way to get over your fear of the high dive was to get up there and jump off, and then keep doing it until you’re not afraid anymore.
For those interested in getting in that line for the high dive, the IHOP–KC Evangelism Department has just the thing. The evangelism team has combined prayer and devotion, specialized training, and hands-on experience in a twelve-week program called the Evangelism Intensive. In three short months, you can get grounded in the theology of salvation, learn how to cooperate with the work of the Holy Spirit, cultivate faith in times of devotion and meditation on the Word, practice your public speaking skills, develop a deeper burden for the lost as you intercede on their behalf, and overcome your fears as you consistently see people respond to your message of the gospel as the Holy Spirit moves upon their hearts.
The Evangelism Intensive at IHOP–KC has three sessions in 2010. The next one begins February 15. For more information, visit the Forerunner Evangelism page on our site or click here.
