Why Evangelism Events Still Matter: Lessons from Power to Change Australia

Описание: How can churches and believers share Jesus effectively in today’s culture? And what role do events, relationships, and training play in modern evangelism?

In this episode of the Win Win Evangelism Podcast, Tina Waldrom speaks with Geoff Folland, National Director of Power to Change Australia, about the mission of connecting all Australians to Jesus.
