“Welcoming Solas to Grantown was a joy. The desire to bring together believers from across the Spey Valley was realised in an impactful way. Not only did we hear practical guidance on sharing our faith in Jesus, we also connected with believers from multiple churches who hadn’t previously known of each other, even though they were in the same town.

It was great to be back at Skegness for Spring Harvest This was the fourth time I have spoken there having previously been at Minehead, Harrogate, as well as Skegness – prior to lockdown.

Secondly, take a long, hard, careful look at Jesus—perhaps by reading one of the four first-century eyewitness accounts of his life, death, and resurrection found in the gospels in the New Testament.

Why do many of us (if we are honest) worry or doubt that evangelism is really possible in “this day and age”? I think it’s because there is a massive temptation to buy into the myth that the secular UK (or the West in general) is simply too difficult ground for the gospel.
Islamic state schools in London have been especially interested in accessing these materials and training conferences as they have appreciated assistance in this aspect of the curriculum from Christians.
Erskine Parish Church has a lively Youtube channel. Andy Bannister was recently invited to join them for one of their “EPC Conversations”, they looked at evangelism, apologetics, Islam, and all manner of objections to the Christian faith
