Equipping the Body of Christ Evangelism Seminars and Workshops by Friends of Africa

The Great Commission calls every believer to share the good news of Jesus Christ. Yet, many Christians feel unprepared or uncertain about how to effectively engage in evangelism. Recognizing this gap, Friends of Africa, a faith-based organization based in Edgewood, Maryland, has taken a bold step forward—organizing evangelism seminars and workshops that equip the Body of Christ to fulfill its calling.

Our evangelism training programs are designed to empower individuals and churches with the tools, confidence, and biblical foundation they need to reach their communities and the world. Through interactive learning, practical exercises, and spirit-led teachings, participants leave inspired, educated, and ready to take action.

Why Evangelism Training Matters Evangelism is central to Christian discipleship. However, even the most passionate believers can struggle with fear, uncertainty, or lack of knowledge. Friends of Africa addresses these challenges head-on by providing:

• Biblically grounded instruction

• Real-life application techniques

• Supportive community engagement

• Spirit-led empowerment

These evangelism workshops bridge the gap between faith and action, ensuring that the message of Christ is carried with clarity, compassion, and courage.

Objectives of Our Evangelism Seminars The core goals of our evangelism seminars and workshops include:

1. Strengthening Biblical Knowledge – Teaching the theological basis and practical importance of evangelism

2. Building Communication Skills – Helping participants clearly and respectfully share their faith

3. Overcoming Evangelism Anxiety – Addressing fears and misconceptions about gospel outreach

4. Cultivating Spiritual Boldness – Encouraging reliance on the Holy Spirit in witnessing

5. Creating a Culture of Outreach – Inspiring churches and communities to embrace evangelism as a lifestyle

Whether you're experienced in evangelism or just starting out, Friends of Africa provides content tailored to every level.

Biblical Foundation of Evangelism We root all training in the truth of Scripture:

• Matthew 28:19-20 – "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations..."

• Romans 10:14 – "How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed?"

• Acts 1:8 – "You shall receive power... and you shall be witnesses to Me..."

These verses, among others, serve as the guiding light of our workshops. We emphasize that evangelism is not just a duty—it’s a joyful privilege and a response to God’s love.
