Evangelism is one of those things that we know is important, but if we're honest, many of us still struggle with it both as individuals and as churches. If that's you, then you will really appreciate this conversation that Jessica Powell from our Church Management Solutions team had with Shaila Visser. Shaila is the National Director of Alpha Canada as well as the Global Senior Vice-President for Alpha International and she is passionate about introducing people to Jesus. You'll get to listen in as Shaila talks about what is most important in the way that we share our faith, how to deal with the inevitable fear that comes up when it's time to invite someone to church or to a program like Alpha, and why evangelism is actually one of the best tools to grow your own faith and that of your congregation.

“In 2020,” according to Barna Group’s Five Changing Contexts for Digital Evangelism report, “churches around the world woke up to the extraordinary, urgent need to embrace digital platforms in fresh ways in order to engage with—and sustain—their congregations during the pandemic.” Now that the immediate crises of 2020 are well behind us, two questions come quickly to mind: Do we need to continue using digital platforms for ministry, especially evangelism? And if we do, how do we use them effectively? Those are the questions I’m asking Shaila Visser in this episode of the Influence Podcast. I’m George P. Wood, executive editor of Influence magazine and your host.
