Think of the people you meet each day. Your family. Your work colleagues. Your running partner. Your hairdresser. The guy sitting by himself in the part at lunchtime. Of all the countless people who cross your path - some known to you well, some hardly at all - is there a single one of them who shouldn't be following Jesus? Is there a single one of them who doesn't need Jesus?
Of course the answer is "No" (to both questions). But many Christians feel overwhelmed and inadequate when it comes to reaching out to those around us. We're unsure where to start and what to say, and more than a little fearful that we will make fools of ourselves.
This short course starts from square one, and helps you make a start. Over six interactive sessions you'll explore topics like:
- the core motivation for reaching out to others
- what the gospel of Jesus really is
- how to depend on God in prayer as you speak to others
- how to solve the problem of 'But I hardly know any nonChristian people'
- how to invite people to take positive steps towards knowing Jesus
- how to tell your own story of what God has done for you in Jesus
- how to explain the gospel of Jesus in a simple way

This fall we will be working through this material in our midweek LIFE groups. If you are new to Parkside or been around for a while but not in a smaller group then take the next step towards involvment and join a group. If you are interested in hosting or leading a group, then please send the ministry coordinator an email.
