Everyday Evangelism
FAITH 201 | May 7– June 27 | Guin
Sharing your faith is not about winning arguments; it’s about winning hearts. And the way to do that is by engaging others with love, respect, and truth.
In this six-session study, you’ll be equipped with practical, effective ways to share the truth of the gospel with your friends, neighbors, and coworkers. You’ll be inspired by the author’s own story of how he came to know Jesus through a friend who reached out to him in love, invited him into his life, and showed him what it truly means to be a Christian. You’ll also be challenged to respond to God’s call to be bold-because eternity is at stake.
THURSDAYS

As a result, millions have come to know God intimately, to recognize His voice, and to understand His will for their lives. This new edition is revised, updated, and ready to help you again—or for the very first time—experience your Creator.
HOPE 201 | 6th-12th Grade Boys + Girls Students OnMission is part of the Missions Mobilization Pathway, designed to equip and deploy you to know Christ and make Him known.
