I am writing to inform you of a special evangelism seminar coming to Oldsmar July 9th.
God is moving through Oldsmar in a mighty way, as has been particularly evident since sunrise service on Easter Sunday. The weekly prayer meetings and interactions between our pastors have been truly reflective of the way God commands us to be toward one another. We are a people of God, and by so declaring that, as you well know, Matthew 28:19 commands us all, Christians of all rankings, to serve Christ by going out to the nations and preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ.
On Friday May 27th I had the pleasure of accompanying Victor Mathis (Terrace Palms Community Church's Director of Evangelism and the Great News Network's Tampa Bay area leader for the "Way of the Master") to Ybor City to survey the area for opportunities and potential obstacles to the distribution of gospel tracts, witnessing one-2-one, and open-air (street) preaching. While we were there the Lord led us to a divine appointment with Evan Johnston, a local street preacher and fellow evangelist who has been witnessing in Ybor City for the past 7 years. Our "scouting mission" turned into a 4-hour evening of passing out gospel tracts, witnessing, and evangelizing to everyone and anyone who would listen to the good news of Jesus Christ. It was, to say the least, a powerful and blessed experience!
Greatly encouraged by the doors our Lord is opening right here in Tampa Bay, we will be conducting a free one-day "Way of the Master" evangelism seminar to equip other local Christians in how to witness simply, effectively and Biblically, the way Jesus did, so that together we can multiply the number of fishers of men by His grace. This seminar will be presented by Victor Mathis (www.thegreatnews.com/localleaders/US_FL_TampaBay.html) and hosted by Community United Methodist Church in downtown Oldsmar from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Saturday July 9th, with coffee and donuts served starting at 8:30 a.m. and lunch provided for those that R.S.V.P.
This seminar is a fantastic way for our otherwise shy and timid Christian parishioners to discover the basic truths concerning God's empowering desire for us to seek and save the lost as Jesus did. We would also like to encourage the Youth Pastors to bring their youth teams and discover how simple and effective this front line evangelism can be in confronting the the issues of sin our Senior High Youth are faced with at every turn. This is an experience and a learning opportunity they will not soon forget. At the conclusion of the seminar the participants will be well equipped and encouraged to "put feet to the gospel" through participation with the local evangelism team(s), from praying and passing out gospel tracts to one-2-one witnessing and (in time) even open air preaching at public venues (e.g. Ybor City, local malls, etc.), special events (e.g. Strawberry Festival, State Fair, etc.) and other outreach opportunites (e.g. local parades, outdoor/park events, etc.).
As we have done for previous special events, I am trusting you will join me to His glory in promoting this event in your churches for the three to four weeks preceeding this seminar. We also intend to promote this on Joy FM and advertise in the Monitor and the Oldsmar Chamber news sources. Please consider this prayerfully and diligently. Our community is ready, and the time to act is now.
Note: If you are unfamiliar with the "Way of the Master" ministry of Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron, I encourage you to check it out on the Internet: www.wayofthemaster.com is the main site, but more information can also be found at www.livingwaters.com
