Finding Your Voice
Preparing women to give evangelistic talks.
08.11.25 London
15.11.25 Edinburgh
Over the past few years evangelistic events around Christmas have attracted increasing numbers of guests.
Coupled with this is a growing need for female speakers, we find many have a quiet desire but lack the confidence or the skills with which to speak.
This workshop will inspire you and equip you to create a talk, testimony or creative presentation at a Christmas evangelistic event.
*You do not already need to have been asked to give a talk this Christmas.
