Inter-Varsity Evangelism Seminar

I received the following e-mail from Greg Essington, the president of one of our other great campus fellowships, Inter-Varsity. They are hosting a seminar this Saturday and have invited us to come. If you are interested in discussing how to (and then going and getting your hands a little dirty,) sharing with people the "hope that you have," then read on.

The Lord is making our campus ripe for the harvest. Both the secular media, such as New York Times, and the Christian media are reporting on the increasing spiritual hunger on campuses across the nation. An article in the Washington Square News speaks of the "Spiritual Secular Student" who challenges the religious trends and authorities. These students are a reflection of the post-modern pluralistic attitudes we see today and little do most of our fellow students know that Jesus himself came to this earth to challenge the religious authorities of his time. They actually have more in common with Christ than they think.

This Saturday, the 15th, from 10am-2pm in the Kimmel 7th Floor Lounge we will be having evangelism training focused on how to share the gospel clearly and how to give people an opportunity to respond specifically in our post-modern context. First two hours we will have training, and the second two hours we will have lunch go out to share the gospel with our fellow students on campus. Everyone is welcome and feel free to come to part of it if you have other plans.

Just as Christ said in his time "the harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few." As we pray for more workers we need to step out into the fields as workers ourselves. I know there are many people out there who would be ready to commit their lives to Christ if we would just share what he is offering to them clearly and give them an opportunity to respond.

So there you have it folks. Take it or leave it.
