How to Share the Gospel When It's Not Your Gift - Jerry Root
Most of us don’t have a gift of evangelism. How can we remain faithful in sharing the good news, even through the discouragement of mistakes and perceived failures? This workshop offers encouragement for those struggling in their evangelistic efforts and discusses the blessing of sharing our faith, even when it’s done imperfectly. Drawing from his own mistakes and successes, Jerry Root offers practical and effective ways of sharing the Gospel.
