“The gospel is only good news if it gets there in time.”

Many of God’s faithful have diligently committed themselves to a local assembly of believers. They serve faithfully under the leadership of a godly pastor, regularly give tithes and offerings, and participate in prayer meetings and various ministry projects. Yet, for some reason, they may neglect one crucial area: sharing the good news of the gospel. Whether hindered by a lack of knowledge, courage, or something else, we must remember that God’s greatest concern is the souls of lost men. He has called us, His church, to bring the message of Jesus to a dying world.

Join us for a weekend of training and encouragement in personal soul-winning. We will be blessed by two experienced men with a deep conviction for evangelism. This conference aims to equip every willing Christian with practical tools to confidently lead others to Christ.
