Evangelism Training

The last few weeks have been extremely busy around the GoodSeed office with several major consecutive events and other projects. Finally, I have a bit of a breather to tell you about some of what has been going on.

GoodSeed Canada recently hosted a three day evangelistic training seminar using our book “By this Name“. We had around 30 people attend our TERM Seminar where we show them how they can use “By this Name” and other GoodSeed evangelism resources to share the gospel with others. Our whole team was very busy in many aspects of hosting such an event, from teaching to food prep, janitorial, book orders, and more.

Ellie’s school was on break that week and she sat in the whole course with her mom! What a blessing for me to be able to participate in the teaching with my daughter in the audience.

Feedback from the seminar

At the end of the seminar, participants are asked a few questions to help us gauge their understanding of the Gospel. This is always exciting for us to look through. One person in particular was invited to attend by a friend who suspected he was not a believer. In response to the question, “In what way has this study been beneficial to you?” he answered:
“This has made me understand that Jesus died for me. I accept Jesus as my personal Saviour.”

Some of the other responses:

“This has refreshed for me that sharing the gospel must be done clearly to ensure a person believes in Christ’s work on the cross to give them his righteousness.”

“Shown me how I can present the Gospel message clearly from creation to the Cross in a culture that is very confused and believes there are many ways.”

“The way the whole story is presented is so logical and plain!”

“I have learned a new way to present the truth. I’ve always been searching to overcome the obstacles of rejection when I get stuck.”

“The TERM Seminar has confirmed for me my desire and commitment to disciple others with GoodSeed resources.”

“It has put the plan of salvation into a logical, fairly easy framework.”

“It gave me a real clear picture from the beginning to the end and just reassured me of everything I knew. It just really helped me get a good grasp of everything again and just to be sure of everything in the Bible. Thank you.”

“A wonderful review of the Christology of the Bible. And a wonderful, clear, precise way to lead a friend or a group into an understanding of God’s love for them and His desire to become their substitute, their Saviour.”

“I feel much more confident in my ability to explain the Bible and share the Gospel with others I meet.”
