Last week, a Panama church invited me to share a mid-week service about ways to reach more young adults for Christ.
After a 45 minute drive across the country to the Northern coast, I met with the pastor, who is a young guy, probably in his 20s.
He leads a rapidly growing church of young adults just outside the city of Colón.
I’ve been following their growth over the last three years and seeing the impact they make. I first encountered them three years ago when this church was in their infancy. Even though they have grown, their passion is still to reach more for Christ.
They invited me to share my teaching with them.
So this night, I spent a brief time looking at the core personal evangelism teaching I give.
While it’s too soon to know the impact of how they practice what I shared with them, they’ve invited me back for a day long workshop to explore what these themes mean in their particular context.
I admire their passion to reach young adults for Christ. It is contagious being around them. What moves me more is how they want to be more effective and less obnoxious. Teaching them how to cooperate with the Holy Spirit in the work of evangelism will help them accomplish their goals.
