Message from Brian J, Toronto Ontario

Seems to me that it might be useful to look at previous church wide efforts to see how they got on.

I remember that the 1990′s were “The Decade of Evangelism.” I can’t ever remember a wrap up report or celebration of the events, activities or programs. I guess the plan never had really strong support at the beginning, or from the senior church leadership. A halfway there article in the Anglican journal reported on activities.

They had one meeting two years after the decade began. One video was created. At my church an all-day Saturday workshop was held on how to share your faith.

The first mark of mission is to evangelize. Looks like we could revisit that one again.
