Workshop Session 3: Lost Cause: Reviving Evangelism — The Narrative of the Lost Cause
Words matter. Whoever owns the language will ultimately create the culture. If we are to create a culture of evangelism then we must be intentional about creating and consistently using language that will mobilize Christians to reach lost people. In creating a culture of evangelism, sharing accounts of people who love and lead others to follow Jesus show how it can be done and make us believe we can do it.

Location: Worship Center - Main Auditorium
Speakers: Ted Coniaris, Joby Martin, Janet McMahon

Workshop Session 4: Lost Cause: Reviving Evangelism — The Behaviors of a Lost Cause
Eight times in the New Testament it says we are to “Love your neighbor.” According to the Barna Research Group the three qualities our neighbors value most in a person with whom they would talk about spiritual matters are the following: 1) “Someone who will listen without judgment.” 2) “Someone who will allow me to draw my own conclusions.” 3) “Someone who has confidence in sharing their own perspective.” If you will do one of those practices each day and begin your small group each week by asking, “Who did you B.L.E.S.S. this week?” you can create a culture of evangelism in your church.
Time: Thursday, 8:45am — 9:45am
Location: Worship Center - Main Auditorium
Speakers: Ted Coniaris, Jay Pathak, Jon Ferguson
