Reflections from Enfield CT
I’ve just wrapped up an Evangelism Conference at Calvary Presbyterian Church, Enfield CT, on Listening Evangelism, Evangelism in the Power of the Holy Spirit.
What a great group of people! Several churches, different denominations, gathering to learn about our approach to Evangelism. Congregational, Episcopal, Presbyterian, Christian Missionary Alliance, were to name a few of the different streams in the body of Christ. It was a privilege to have been invited to share on Evangelism.
The high point of the evangelism conference was the Lab Time, based on Phillip and the Ethiopian Eunuch. This is a feature of our evangelism conferences, where we take one afternoon session, leave the church, and go to the town to do listening evangelism.
When we gather back together, we tell stories of God’s leading and the conversations that happened.
Several gave testimony of praying with people in Wal-mart, at their neighbor’s house, and prayer walks in neighborhoods. A few reported some deeply significant spiritual conversations with neighbors.
For the folks coming to the website after the conference, here are some of the resources I promised to post:

Hi Chris… Glad your states side Evangelism training as behind you so you can head on home for a bit. Notice you have two opportunities coming up in Nicaragua in Dec. You’ll be in my thoughts and prayers. I’m considering taking a class entitled Communicating the Gospel during Spring semester. It would be great if the prof needed/wanted an outside speaker. Hint hint…
