Developing Your Personal Testimony

9:00AM // Room 219

Jan. 22-Mar. 12: The best tool we have in sharing the Gospel is our own story of faith. Most Christians have never developed a 4-5 minute concise story of how Christ has changed their life. This workshop type setting will guide you through the steps to create your story of faith in a way that clearly presents the Gospel to others. We will assist each other in formulating your story so you will have this tool the rest of your life.

Facilitator: Dr Bob Ingram, Discipleship Pastor
