Witnessing Workshop Weekend: Equipping the Saints to Proclaim Christ!

March 20 @ 6:30 pm - March 22 @ 7:30 pm

We live in a moment of tremendous gospel opportunity—and urgent gospel need. Jesus told His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few” (Matthew 9:37). Our prayer is that this Witnessing Workshop Weekend will raise up faithful laborers who love Christ deeply and are equipped to share Him clearly.

From March 20–22, Heritage Bible Church in Panama City, Florida, will host a free evangelism training conference designed to equip the saints to glorify God by evangelizing the lost. This weekend is not about methods for their own sake, but about recovering biblical confidence in the power of the gospel and learning how to faithfully proclaim Christ in everyday conversations.

Scripture reminds us that “faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ” (Romans 10:17). Our desire is to help believers speak that Word with clarity, compassion, and conviction—trusting God alone for the results. Evangelism is not reserved for pastors or missionaries. Christ calls every believer to be His witness (Acts 1:8). Yet many Christians struggle with fear, uncertainty, or simply not knowing where to begin.

This weekend is designed to:

  • Strengthen your confidence in the gospel

  • Ground your witness in Scripture

  • Provide practical, biblical tools for real conversations

As Paul wrote, “We are ambassadors for Christ, God making His appeal through us” (2 Corinthians 5:20). This workshop exists to help believers faithfully represent their King.

A Call to Pray and Participate

This conference is completely free, but it is not casual. We are asking God to do eternal work. Scripture reminds us that salvation belongs to the Lord (Psalm 3:8), and only He can open hearts (Acts 16:14). That is why prayer must undergird everything we do.

Please pray:

  • That believers would be emboldened to speak the truth in love

  • That unbelievers would have open eyes and receptive hearts

  • That Christ would be honored in every conversation

Evangelism is not about our ability—it is about God’s power. “The gospel is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes” (Romans 1:16).  We invite you to join us for this Witnessing Workshop Weekend as we seek to glorify God, obey Christ, and lovingly proclaim the gospel to a world in need.
