Twenty-four people gathered last night in Saint Matthew's Fellowship Hall for the first session of 'Witnesses for Christ.' The group will meet for four more Monday nights with the purpose of receiving the tools needed to become more confident in sharing their faith in Christ with others.
'Witnesses for Christ' was originally developed by Lutheran pastor Ed Markquart and helps Lutherans to see that witnessing is all about sharing our Best Friend, Jesus Christ, with our friends.
The goal is to "change the temperature" at Saint Matthew by offering 'Witnesses for Christ' several times in 2008 and thereafter, offering it annually, so that at any given time anywhere from 30 to 50% of our adult membership will have received this vital training.
Watch for the next offering of 'Witnesses for Christ/'
