Randy Newman Hits a Homerun
Boy, wasn’t that a helpful seminar last night? It was wonderful to see so many of you there. If you missed the seminar last night, but would like to grow in your effectiveness in reaching out to unbelievers, you should definitely get the message and the outline. They are available here. There were a number of "ah!" and "mmm…" moments. Randy helped us to see that using simple questions and simple dialogues can be a more effective way to move a person along in the direction of hearing and responding to the gospel than an elaborate apologetics of the Christian faith. As we continue to apply what he taught us last night, I trust we can start to see evangelism as something we need not fear so much. But apply the message, we must! So, I’m reminding you that Randy gave us an assignment of having a conversation with a non-Christian friend and use some of the questions he provided for us by the next meeting (2/8). As you do, please let me know who you talked to and how the conversation went. I’d love to hear from you!
I talked to one of my coworkers today for about an hr and learned a lot about where that person is in his thoughts about Christianity. I don\’t know if it got him thinking or not but I can trust that God is at work. I know that the meeting was helpful just to me. It changed my way of thinking of it as a tell all in one shot and more to finding out how that person thinks about it and trying to get them to think about what they\’re thinking. I look forward to seeing how God is going to use this tool in our church.
this meeting was so helpful
man

YES! crossroads blog is COOL!
After listening to it, I feel *so* encouraged about reaching out to others and talking to them about those things. I am so glad that Randy Newman will be coming back the 8th — I can’t wait to hear that message as well!
