March will prove to be an exciting time to be trained in Personal Evangelism. This training will take place each Wednesday in March from 6:30 p.m. to 7:45 p.m. in room FL 101. Our March evangelism strategy is Evangelism Explosion’s "Share Your Faith". This is an intentional style of evangelism that will equip you to share Jesus at the moment the Holy Spirit leads. These four Wednesday nights will be amazing.
	April  We are so excited about our Personal Evangelism training in April. Each Wednesday in April from 6:30p.m – 7:45 p.m. in Room FL 101 we will have a unique and intriguing type of training. Dr. Kevin Cox, a professor at Missouri Baptist University, is going to train you in the area of apologetics. Apologetics will teach you how to lovingly defend the Christian faith. In our culture today difficult and skeptical questions are being asked about Christianity. Their skepticism is a great opportunity for the church. After all we should know why we believe what we believe and have the ability to communicate it clearly. Dr. Cox will equip you to answer these questions. What an exciting series from a passionate and knowledgeable professor.
	May is a very busy month. It is full of exams for students, baccalaureates to graduations for family and friends to attend. As a result, in an attempt to respect your schedule we are not going to have our Personal Evangelism training on the every Wednesday night format. Instead we will focus on one Saturday morning. Saturday, May 17th we will have a special guest, Thomas Hammond. Thomas is known for his humor, passion and authenticity. He is coming to teach on Relational Evangelism. How can we develop relationships with lost people, befriend them, be comfortable around them, and not compromise our principles one ounce? Come to this unique training and you will find out. You will laugh and you will cry.  This event will run from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. in the Banquet Center starting with biscuits and gravy. You do not want to miss this exciting time in the life of our church.
	June, July & August  Each one of the summer months has opportunities in Event Evangelism allowing us to field test and apply what we have learned in Personal Evangelism. Please join in just one or all of these life changing opportunities.Check out our Jerusalem Projects
	September Our on-going Personal Evangelism training will continue in September going back to the Wednesday night format. This training will take place every Wednesday night of September for 6:30-7:45pm in FL 101. Jim Nicolls, our Missions Associate, will be our teacher. Jim practices what he preaches and is a daily witness. The Bible says in Proverbs11:30 "The Fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and he who wins souls is wise". Jim is a great example of this. He brings to the classroom a wealth of wisdom and experience form leading people to Jesus all around the world. He is an analytical thinker who will allow you to process the steps of leading someone to Christ. Jim will spend much of his time focused on how to share you personal testimony.

	October  In our October Personal Evangelism Training, Bob Caldwell, our Pastor of Outreach, will be leading the sessions. Pastor Bob will share scriptures that he uses when he shares his faith. He uses methods that were modeled for him from several of his mentors. He has modified this method through trial and error as he has had the privileged to share Christ. The dates of these trainings will be each Wednesday night in October from 6:30 p.m. to 7:45 p.m. in room FL 101. Please come and be equipped to share Jesus!
