Workshop: The Victory of EVANGELISM
JOSiah james
From youth alpha
When we hear the word evangelism, we often feel overwhelmed, intimidated, or inadequate—like it’s something only charismatic or super-spiritual people do. But the truth is, God invites all of us to be part of His kingdom-building work. This workshop is designed to encourage, inspire, and equip you to share your faith with confidence and compassion.
We’ll explore how God used both a Jew and a Gentile—Peter and Cornelius—to take the gospel across cultural lines, and we’ll dive into practical tools like the Alpha Youth Series to help you share the good news with anyone anywhere. Join this workshop to learn about what it looks like to have victory in evangelism.
Workshop: The Victory of story
AMY BAKKER AND TOM COVERT
We live in a world that loves stories, especially stories of victory! Whether it’s a movie, sport, video game, music or even social media, we love finding and immersing ourselves in stories we can relate to or find triumph in. No matter what struggle we may be facing, big or small, it reminds us that we can push through and be victorious!
This workshop will dive into the power of story – we’ll touch on how the world sees and gives value to victory while comparing them to biblical testimonies of triumph! You’ll also hear a raw, real-life, testimony from a young adult who overcame a life of addiction and crime through the victory and hope of Jesus and have the chance to work a bit through your own story. This workshop will inspire you to value the importance of your unique story and leave you excited to be a light of victory in this world!
