Focusing on practical evangelism

The second round of Engage 6 evangelism gatherings brought together more than 400 pastors, ministry leaders and laypeople from across Georgia for hands-on training in practical evangelism. The events are part of the Georgia Baptist Mission Board’s statewide emphasis on reaching the more than 7 million lost people in Georgia.

Featured speakers drew from their own ministry experience to address topics such as getting the gospel to every home in a church’s mission field and strengthening evangelistic efforts at the local level.

Steve Parr, evangelism strategy director for the GBMB, said the growing attendance reflects a desire among pastors to be equipped with practical evangelism tools.

“We’ve seen the Engage Six sessions bring pastors together around a shared burden for evangelism,” Parr said. “The growth of attendance in the second sessions in February was exciting to see, as pastors gained more tools to make an evangelistic impact in their churches and communities.”
