So many Christians feel nervous, guilty or awkward when they think about
sharing their faith with friends and family.
It doesn't have to be this way. You--whoever you are--can be empowered
for evangelism that is faithful, compelling and relational. Empowered
will leave ordinary Christians not only wanting to share their faith,
but knowing how to talk about Jesus in their normal lives and everyday
conversations.
Becky Pippert and her husband Dick have spent the past 13 years doing
evangelism training in churches and at conferences on almost every
continent. Empowered is the fruit of all these years of working right
around the world, of motivating and equipping ordinary Christians to
share their faith with those around them. Easy to run and combining
Bible-study, talks and discussions, this course is flexible enough to be
over seven weeks or on a day or weekend away.
In the introduction Becky writes:
"Never has there been a greater need to share Christ with the world
(starting with our own neighbors)--yet never have believers seemed more
ill equipped. It is imperative that we know how to effectively
communicate the gospel. We need to get beyond one-size-fits-all
techniques. We need to learn to communicate the truth in a way that is
also loving. Yet we need to remember, even as we seek to show Christ's
compassionate love, still to share Christ's gospel truth."
Each session of Empowered opens with a short introduction from Becky
before moving to an interactive group Bible study grounded in God's
word. This is followed by a short talk by Becky in the videos. Becky's
warm, personable style blends timeless biblical truth with tried and
tested techniques--as well as plenty of funny and encouraging real life
stories. After the talk there's time to work through the practical
implications in discussion groups, before turning to prayer.
