    Evangelism

    Leader: Pastor Chuck SmithPastor Smith is a graduate of Houghton College and Colgate RochesterCrozer Divinity School. He believes in the power of passionateworship, a strong commitment to local and international missions, andcreativity in ministry. He has a love for equipping people for ministry,

    engaging youth in spiritual growth and service, and transforming theworld with the love of Jesus Christ.

    Just Walk Across the Rooms author BillHybelss conviction is that the highestvalue in personal evangelism is beingattuned to and cooperative with thepromptings of the Holy Spirit. Thismeans walking when the Spirit sayswalk, talking when the Spirit says talk,and falling silent when the Spirit sayslisten. Jesus introduced the perfect

    model for evangelismno script, noforced formula. Every Christian is toreflect Christs love and follow hisexample by taking simple walks acrossroomsleaving our circle of comfort toextending care, compassion andinclusiveness to people living far from

    God. We are encouraged to live in 3-Dto develop friendships, discover stories,and discern next stepsas a means of

    learning to understand the Spirits

    promptings. With fresh perspectivesfrom his own reflections andexperiences collected during his mostrecent ministry. Hybels shows withundeniable clarity the power of thisapproach to evangelism. The stakesare high. The implications are eternal.You may be a conversation away fromhaving unparalleled impact on

    someones lifeif you will just walkacross the room.
