“Do the Work of an Evangelist”

The first annual Evangelism Conference was held from August 7 – 9 with the presence and blessing of H.G. Bishop Antonios Markos, Bishop of African Affairs and Fr. John Ramzy who served as a missionary in West Africa. The lectures and discussions revolved around the theme of being called to witness to our faith through word and deed. His grace shared with the participants many of his experiences and memories from the African mission and imparted on us his wisdom of being an evangelist for over 43 years. The participants also met in small groups to discuss how to apply this knowledge gained in our daily lives and practice it in our parish. The theme for the small group discussions was witnessing in “Jerusalem, all of Judea, Samaria, and to the ends of the earth” . Many resolutions were agreed u on to kindle the spirit of evangelism in our congregation which include personal growth for preparation, witnessing in our community and among acquaintances, ministry of invitation, and a possible oversees mission trip to Africa. We pray for the Lord’s continued support for this endeavor which is considered as a corner stone of our ministry.
