Relational Conversation Evangelism – facilitated by Rev. Steve Zimmerman, Founding Partner, Barnabas Partnership, Martinsville, Virginia [1:00 session only]

Over the years many churches have approached winning people to Christ like a sales pitch selling a product. This method has turned people off to Christianity. What people are really looking for is not only a relation with Christ but also with the people who have that relationship already. In our time together, we will share steps on how you can begin to share the Good News to all your circles of influence in ways that reach new heights for both you and them.
