Imagine:
- You confidently answer a question about why you follow Jesus.
- Your friend asks you how you became a Christian and you give a clear story.
- You share the gospel story without being tongue-tied.
Just this week, I met a church member who felt that evangelism was not doable because he felt he had
- no talent,
- no skill,
- nor verbally eloquent like his pastor.
My friend lacked any confidence that he could witness to anyone.
Maybe you feel the same way. You find personal evangelism intimidating. You would rather clean a pig sty instead of talking about Jesus to your friends.
I was.

Coming to Eastern North Carolina, August 14 &15, 2015
If you live in or near the area, you don’t want to miss this FREE event. . .
Chris will help you find the same confidence that has helps him talk about his faith in Christ to anyone who asks. He used to be the obnoxious evangelist no one wants to be and has learned core skills to make evangelism practical.
The seminar dispelled the fears associated with evangelism. Both personal stories and Biblical truth provided a framework from which to proceed in making sharing my faith conversationally more a part of my lifestyle.
I would highly recommend this class to anyone with a heart for becoming more verbal in their witness. — Participant

“Fall 2010 has gone well. I believe the First Touch teams have a renewed sense of purpose and others are doing their part to apply the welcoming concepts they learned when you spoke here. I heard from many folks about how helpful and energizing it was to hear you speak.
Your talk helped us see the need to engage people, not just serve them. I think overall it was one of our most successful events ever, and was a real example of how the momentum is shifting in a positive way.” P Strachan, Midlothian VA.
Chris is a highly accessible speaker who brings a passion and energy to his workshops that is contagious.
Geoff McClean, Pastor
I feel rejuvenated in learning to pray after the Salvation Army Quest ministry workshops in Michigan. Chris is very passionate and on fire for what he speaks about. Keep up the good work!

Looking forward to the Sanford seminar.
There is one sentence in this information that needs correcting. It seems to be cut off at the end:
“Chris will help you find the same confidence that has helps him talk about his faith in Christ to anyone who asks. He used to be the obnoxious evangelist no one wants to be and has learned core skills to make evangelism.”
… to make evangelism (what?)
Thanks!
Thank you for your willingness to serve God by coaching us to share the gospel. I am so excited!
In Christ,
Barbara Mckenziehess
I had a great time with you all! What a privilege to share my stories with you and to spend time encouraging you all in the work of personal evangelism. May the Lord bless your time and position you to share your faith stories with new friends, long term friends, and the occasional stranger.
