Awakening Evangelism Partner Podcast Elijah Ward This is the Awakening Evangelism Partner Podcast, where we will share with you the inside scoop about what's going on behind the scenes in our ministry and tell you how you can join with us in prayer as we seek to build the dream of God for this ministry. PEP Talk Solas The Persuasive Evangelism Podcast equips listeners to share their faith more effectively in a sceptical world. Andy Bannister (Solas) and Kristi Mair (Oak Hill College) chat to a guest who has a great story, a useful resource, or some other expertise that helps equip listeners to talk persuasively, winsomely, and engagingly with their friends, colleagues and neighbours about Jesus. Evangelism In A Post-COVID World Sam Chan What effect will the COVID-19 Pandemic have on evangelism? The world is still bracing itself for fresh outbreaks, but it pays for Christians to have a glance over the horizon and see what this crisis is teaching us about the spread of the Gospel. City Bible Forum evangelist and author Sam Chan lays out a 'playbook' which considers the pieces which will enable you to share Jesus in a post-COVID world because things aren't going back to the way they were. COVID-19 has left us scrambling as we’ve pivoted to online church, online small groups and online one to ones but what does post-COVID life look like? How will COVID affected our message, our posture and our practice?Drawn from an excellent series of City Bible Forum vidoes, this episode of Evangelism In A Post-COVID World aims to help you prepare yourself for the conversations to come. EVANGELISM - Opportunities Abound Alan Latta Reaching out - with the love of God - to serve an unreached person in need is what evangelism is all about and doing so is not a suggestion.
