Here we are in 2009.  I hope that you are excited to see the things that the Lord is going to do in and through you and your church this year.  As we set goals and priorities for the year, let's not forget about one of the the most important things we we have been given the priviledge to do while on earth - share the good news of life in Jesus Christ.

Personally, I am committing to build new relationships with unbelievers in 2009 and to make more of my casual conversations count.  Those of you who are in the workplace probably have many non-Christians around you every day.  But those of us who are pastors sometimes get stuch in 'church world.'  We are in the office preparing sermons, meeting with church members and doing administrative tasks that we often don't even interact with people who don't know Jesus.

If this is you, get out of the office this year!  Do some of your study at a coffeeshop or diner.  Join a health club, not only because you need the excercise (you do!) but because it's a great place to meet new people!

If you are a church leader, you are probably planning out major ministry plans for the year.  Consider doing some sort of evangelism training for your church this year.  Contact us about options.  Why not enroll in the School of Evangelism course coming up very soon?

Maybe you're planning a major outreach event later in the year...

Let's get some discussion going.  What are you excited about evangelistically this year?  What are you planning?
