Creative Evangelism workshop
Equipping women to share the gospel with confidence
24.10.26 Hamilton Baptist Church, Hamilton
Over the past few years evangelistic events around Christmas have attracted increasing numbers of guests. Coupled with this is a growing need for female communicators.
Join us for a day of teaching, community, and a chance to get feedback on your creative piece for an evangelistic event this Christmas.
This workshop will inspire you and equip you to create a talk, testimony or Spoken Word.
*You do not already need to have been asked to give a talk this Christmas.
Details
Each guest will prepare and deliver a short evangelistic talk, spoken word piece or testimony.
Before the conference, you'll receive a training video to help you prepare your presentation.
The conference includes two main teaching sessions focused on communicating the gospel effectively.
You'll take part in a small mentoring group, where you'll present a 5–7 minute pre-prepared piece and receive constructive feedback.
Following the conference, you'll have opportunities for ongoing informal mentoring via Zoom or WhatsApp as you prepare for Christmas outreach events.
Our Speakers
Mairi MacPherson
This talk will explore how finding our deepest satisfaction in Jesus Christ shapes both our daily lives and our witness to others. As Christian women, we can often be tempted to look for contentment in changing circumstances, relationships, achievements, or the approval of others, yet true and lasting contentment is found in Christ alone. Understanding this is important because a heart at rest in God's love is freed from fear, comparison, and the pressure to produce results in evangelism. Instead, we can speak naturally and confidently about the hope we have in Christ, trusting God to work in the hearts of those around us. Contentment in Christ not only blesses us personally but also overflows into a joyful and faithful gospel witness.
Contentment that overflows: finding joy in Christ and sharing him with others
Joy Hadden
Speaking into Culture creatively
In this session, we will take a quick look at how we do evangelism in the midst of the 'post-Christian', yet increasingly 'spiritual' culture of Scotland.
We will consider what the Bible tells us about living as missional Christians in our cultural context and how we are empowered by God to creatively use elements of our culture to do evangelism.
