There are two things coming up for me that I am so very excited about that I just have to share them with you.
FAITH Evangelism Training
Frist up…I am taking a FAITH Evangelism training at church starting tomorrow night.
FAITH evangelism training is a 12 week class that teaches you how to share your faith with others. During the first six weeks of the class, you are given the words to say in sharing your faith. Not knowing what to say can be the biggest hindrance in sharing Christ. Then during the last six weeks we will be going out visiting people that have visited our church and sharing our faith with them.
I went through FAITH training when I was in college and it really changed my life. I had a passion to share my faith with others, but I really didn’t know how. I didn’t want to get it wrong, so, more often than not, I didn’t say anything. My heart breaks when I think of those lost opportunities.
Taking FAITH gave me the confidence to share my faith. And the overwhelming sense of excitement upon leading someone to accept Christ as their savior is indescribable.
These Faith Testimonies are from Champion Forest Baptist Church on Vimeo.
Several weeks ago, our Outreach Pastor visited our Sunday School class to talk about the upcoming class and I knew then that this was absolutely something that God wanted me to do. Even though I have been through the training before, it has been about eleven years ago, and I need a refresher course . I have a passion for evangelism and sadly I have let that passion fizzle. I am so excited about what God is going to do in and through me during the next twelve weeks.
Album of Awesome
My next “happening” is a new scrapbooking workshop at Big Picture Classes I signed up for that begins on Thursday.
The class is titled Album of Awesome and in it I will be learning to identify the awesome things in my life and documenting them in a 4 x 6 album.
From the class description…
This class isn’t just about making a specific album…it’s about learning how to identify and then document the awesome things in your life—traditional scrapbookers and digital scrapbookers alike will walk away from this class with a new appreciation for the awesome things in life.
The class is inspired by the Book of Awesome and1000awesomethings.com by Neil Pasricha.
Here is a TED Talk by Neil Pasricha describing The 3 A’s of Awesome
I cannot wait to begin this class and get to work on this album! I have a feeling it is something that I will continue adding to.
And, of course, I’ll be sharing my creations with you!
That’s it for me…at least for now.
Nicole says
I think you have probably always had a gift for sharing God’s word, you just might not have that confidence in yourself. I will never forget the words you said to me years ago in my dorm room when I was so lost.
Monica says
That is a moment that I will never, ever, forget, either, Nicole.
I felt so inadequate in that moment with you. That is what propelled me to take FAITH the very first time it was offered. To see you now and read your words, to know the faith that you have and know that I was even a small part of that truly touches my heart in a way that I really don’t have words to describe.
I love you!
Nicole says
Those words might not have sunk in in the moment but they eventually did and have stuck with me to this day.
Love ya too!
