Evangelism 101 [Part 1] | The Harvest (Fr. Matthias Shehad)

In "Evangelism 101 [Part 1] | The Harvest," Fr. Matthias Shehad introduces the foundational mission of the Church: sharing the Christian faith to bring salvation to others. He traces the roots of evangelism to St. Mark the Apostle's work in Egypt and highlights the need for all believers to actively participate in spreading the Gospel. Fr. Matthias emphasizes that true evangelism begins with a personal experience and knowledge of God, drawn from the apostles’ firsthand encounters with Christ. He explains the balance between active and passive evangelism, encouraging believers to live as visible lights through their faith while also intentionally inviting others to take steps toward salvation. Using scriptural examples, Fr. Matthias addresses common misconceptions about evangelism and calls Christians to overcome fear or apathy to fulfill their role as the "laborers in the harvest." This talk sets the stage for a deeper exploration of evangelism methods in upcoming sessions. #Evangelism #ChristianFaith #CopticOrthodox #GreatCommission #SharingFaith #SpiritualGrowth #StPaulHouston #Coptic #FrMatthias Subscribe to us on YouTube https://youtube.com/stpaulhouston Like us on Facebook https://facebook.com/saintpaulhouston Follow us on SoundCloud https://soundcloud.com/stpaulhouston Follow us on Instagram https://instagram.com/stpaulhouston Visit our website for schedules and to join the mailing list https://stpaulhouston.org
