SUMMARY:Witnessing Workshop Weekend: Equipping the Saints to Proclaim Christ!
DESCRIPTION: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. \nFrom 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. \nScripture 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. \nThis weekend is designed to: \n\nStrengthen your confidence in the gospel\nGround your witness in Scripture\nProvide practical\, biblical tools for real conversations\n\nAs 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. \nConference Schedule\nFriday Evening – March 20\n6:30–7:30 PM  How to Get on Fire for Witnessing \nA call to rekindle gospel urgency\, fueled by love for Christ and compassion for the lost (2 Corinthians 5:14). \n7:45–8:45 PM  How to Use Creation Apologetics in Witnessing \nLearning how God’s creation testifies to His glory and provides a powerful starting point for gospel conversations (Psalm 19:1; Romans 1:20). \n\nSaturday – March 21\n9:00–10:15 AM  Gospel Roadmap – Part 1 \n10:30–11:45 AM  Gospel Roadmap – Part 2 \nA clear\, biblical framework for moving conversations toward Christ with confidence and faithfulness. \n12:00–12:30 PM  Lunch Provided by church \n12:30–2:00 PM  Angles of the Cross (with Role Playing) \nExploring the depth\, beauty\, and necessity of Christ’s atoning work from Scripture (Isaiah 53; 2 Corinthians 5:21). \n2:00–5:00 PM  Local Gospel Outreach/Practicum – optional \nAn opportunity to put training into practice as we lovingly share Christ in the community. \n5:00 PM  Debrief\, Q&A\, and snacks \n\nSunday – March 22\n9:15 AM – Sunday School: The Utter Sinfulness of Sin \nA sobering and biblical look at the seriousness of sin and our desperate need for a Savior (Romans 3:23; Isaiah 64:6). \n10:30–11:45 AM – Church service: Justification by Faith \nRejoicing in the heart of the gospel—that sinners are declared righteous by grace alone\, through faith alone\, in Christ alone (Romans 4:5; Ephesians 2:8–9). \n12:00–1:00 PM  Church Lunch: Sandwiches (provided) or BYO \n1:00–1:30 PM  Role Playing \nPractice sharing the gospel with unbelievers through role playing. \n1:30–4:30pm:  Gospel Outreach/Practicum at beach – optional \nTaking the good news of Jesus Christ into a public setting with prayerful dependence on God. \n5:00 PM  Debrief\, Q&A\, Fellowship\, Prayer\, and Snacks \nA Call to Pray and Participate\nThis 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. \nPlease pray: \n\nThat believers would be emboldened to speak the truth in love\nThat unbelievers would have open eyes and receptive hearts\nThat Christ would be honored in every conversation\n\nEvangelism 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.
