Do you ever feel awkward, ill-equipped, unqualified, or unprepared to share the gospel? Do you know someone curious about the gospel, Jesus, or the Christian faith, but you just aren’t sure of the next steps? Do you wish you could more freely share the gospel in a natural way with your friends, family, workmates, or neighbours?
If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions, a Gospel Fluency Workshop might be a great blessing for you and your congregation!
Offered by LCANZ Local Mission, the Gospel Fluency workshops are designed to give you a vocabulary, context and some actual practice in sharing the good news in words and actions with those around you.
Have you ever learned to speak a second language (or third or fourth)? There’s no easy way to become fluent in a new language. It takes practice and immersion in speaking, hearing and reading.
The Workshop includes several helpful, practical tools to help you grow in gospel fluency:
- time for prayer and an introduction to the importance of prayer in sharing the gospel
- biblical explorations equipping to be confident in God’s mission and call
- a practical way to map your relationships for the sake of the gospel
- an introduction to the critical importance of listening in gospel-sharing
- the chance to grow in gospel fluency through practice and reflection on your situations
- an introduction to practical next steps for people who are curious about Jesus or the gospel
- many helpful resources for further training or study.

SAVE THE DATE: Resources EXPO @ Unley Saturday 7th September. An opportunity to share ideas that you have used and learn new ideas from others!
MOVIE NIGHT TONIGHT "Mindreader" Sunday 7th July - Holy Trinity Hall, Nuriootpa at 7 pm. Cost $5 which gets you popcorn and a drink as well.
This is a new movie from Director Rich Christiano, and it won’t disappoint.
The year is 1974 and The Great Dexter is the closing act in a variety show at The Temple Theatre.
His amazing mindreading act fools everyone, including the local magicians association.
As Dexter’s popularity grows, so does the association’s jealousy as they try to shut his act down and figure out how it’s done.
Looking forward to seeing you there!
