On Saturday, March 1, over 90 people came to The Net, a training day in evangelism and evangelistic preaching, at Enfield Evangelical Free Church, organised by United Beach Missions and Roger Carswell and sponsored by 10ofthose.com .
Johnny Prime, pastor of the church, set the scene for the day as he showed from Luke 5 that the Lord Jesus is the loving people-catcher who catches sinful people for the purpose of catching others. As we preach the Word of God we throw out the net to others even when conditions may not look ideal.
Paving the way for Jesus
Roger Carswell then challenged those present about our message – ‘If we are not paving the way for Jesus Christ and him crucified we are not preaching the gospel’. He went on to mention the need to preach with imagination, love and urgency – ‘be kind, you do not know what battles people are fighting’. Also, there definitely needs to be an appeal for a response.
