Outreach Leadership Seminar
with John Dickson
Autumn 2025-Autumn 2026
Europeans desperately need to hear and understand the life-giving word of truth - the Gospel. How do we share this message relevantly, biblically, and credibly in a post-Christian world? Not all Christians are specifically called to be evangelists or apologists (Ephesians 4:11), but everyone is called to be involved in the work of outreach (1 Peter 3:15, 2 Timothy 4:5).
The Outreach Leadership Seminars will take place over 1-2 days and is designed for evangelists, apologists, pastors, and laypeople who want to be equipped to be more effective in reaching non-believers. John Dickson will provide fresh understandings, best practices, and biblically rooted insights into how to effectively and persuasively communicate the Gospel in a post-Christian world.
We encourage you to consider hosting a seminar in your country to help the church and Christian leaders receive the training they need to effectively share the Gospel.
Commitment & Cost: Hosts will be responsible for recruiting key leaders working in evangelism from across their country and for covering the cost for speaker’s lodging, food, facilities, and transportation within their country. There is also a fee of 375 euros for Central, Eastern, and Southern European countries and 575 euros for Western European countries to help to cover the cost of inter-continental travel.
