Encouragement
to keep telling the story
God’s
love is for the world – not to be kept to ourselves!
Practice
our own faith stories within the church then beyond
Need to share our faith with others
Be
infectiously joyful and ready to answer “Why?”
Jesus changed lives and calls us to be His agents of change
Can
we do this kind of workshop?
Jesus is for all – share the story!
We
have a diocese that wants to help, motivate and equip us to tell His story.
