Evangelism and
Church Development

Among the momentous decisions from this
year’s General Assembly were some that
might have slipped under the radar. They
had to do with a projected five-year focus
on evangelism for the denomination,
specifically emphasizing “leading
congregations in how to do personal evangelism that is
appropriate to their cultural context.” Recommendations
from retiring moderator Rev. Don Hubbard and a
commissioner’s resolution from Rev. Don Winn gave
impetus to the new priority focus. There is an article in the upcoming August issue of the Missionary Messenger about this Evangelism focus. There is also a new web page being developed specifically focused on Evangelism. The Board of Missions is actively pulling together Evangelism resources already available and working toward developing new ones for churches and presbyteries to use. And lastly, there are plans in the works for a denomination-wide "Focus on Evangelism Network." >>Read More<<
