Dakotas to hold spring evangelism events with different themes, focus

There will be two evangelism workshops held this spring in the Dakotas.

The first, April 18–20, will be hosted by Connection Church in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The second, May 2–4, will be held at the Gladstone Inn in Jamestown, North Dakota.

Unlike previous years, each workshop will have a different theme and focus. The theme for the Sioux Falls workshop is “Creating a Culture of Evangelism.” The keynote speaker will be Ryan Strother, executive director for the State Convention of Baptists in Indiana. Worship will be led by the Connection-Sioux Falls leaders, Jaz and Breanna Terzic.

Workshops at this event will focus on a variety of evangelism issues, including reaching teens with the gospel, building gospel communities, hosting evangelistic events, and understanding the turning points of a growing church. Each workshop will be led by DBC pastors.

Reaching the reservations

Mark Custalow is the keynote speaker for the Jamestown workshop. The theme is “God Making His Appeal Through Us.” The focus of this workshop will be on reaching the reservations with the gospel.

Custalow is the pastor of Glorieta Baptist Church in Oklahoma City and formerly served with the Southern Baptist Convention of Virginia. His website, www.markcustalow.com, provides resources and encouragement designed to “point people to Jesus; help Christian leaders think critically about leadership, evangelism, discipleship, missions, church planting and church health; and to create an awareness of Bible storying, as well as First Nations people, history and culture.”

Ray Duplessie, the Choctaw ministry consultant for the Mississippi Baptist Convention will lead worship at the Jamestown event. Breakout sessions will include finding freedom from false religion, building partnerships for discipleship and the power of a testimony. Each of these sessions will be led by leaders of churches from various Native American reservations around the Dakotas.
