RE-IMAGINING EVANGELISM
Cultivating Meaningful Conversations
Part of our vision at Westview is, “to live out the gospel and EXTEND God’s love to the world.” How do we go about doing this, practically speaking?
Pastor Garry Koop will facilitate this workshop aimed to equip us with knowledge and tools, and to re-imagine evangelism for the time we find ourselves in. We will be joined on Saturday by Garry’s friend, pastor and author Charles Kiser. Charles’ book, Trauma-Informed Evangelism, is an excellent resource for pre-reading.
