Making Jesus’ last command, our first priority.
After Jesus was crucified, many people were left looking for answers, looking for hope, and looking for connection. As we emerge from the pandemic, we, as a nation, find ourselves in a similar place. In response to this, however, Jesus gives one more command after rising from the dead, before ascending into heaven: “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole of creation.”
Reimagine what’s next for evangelism
At the Life Shared Summit, Alpha Canada and key Church leaders will be presenting and responding to new research on the state of evangelism in Canada. In partnership with Flourishing Congregations Institute, we collected quantitative data from over 2,000 church leaders of all denominations and Christian faith traditions across Canada to hear what they have to say about evangelism.
Be the first to hear the results at this 90 minutes virtual event.
“We speak believability in the Gospel for transformation today. We say ‘no’ to the voices that say evangelism is too hard, too costly, that no one is interested. We are people who say yes to God, who speak bravely, who invite the church into Holy Spirit fueled evangelism. And we will pray and activate ourselves for the sake of the future church. Not just today but for 30 years from now.” – Shaila Visser, National Director Alpha Canada
