We know we are supposed to share our faith, but how comfortable do we feel? What if we don’t use the right words, or say the right thing? Even the word “evangelization” makes most of us cringe!
This workshop with Fr. Jon Bielawski and Michele Thompson, Genesis Mission founders, will show you how to build a culture of encounter. Throughout the day, they will illustrate methods to introduce our faith into everyday conversations. You will be introduced to the Genesis Method, a practical way of helping others to encounter Christ, which respects the individual but offers the love and peace of Christ. A series of simple steps, which begin with listening and asking questions, will open the door to a heartfelt encounter that speaks into the specific circumstances of the person you meet.
This workshop is perfect for parish staff, catechetical leaders, catechists, youth ministers, adult formation leaders, and disciples of all ages and stages!
