NB note to leaders: next week is the opportunity to give it a go!  Although this course is mainly about sharing faith in your everyday life rather than an organised event, doing something together will increase confidence and be a helpful learning experience to discuss together. Based on the previous weeks consider the nature of the course participants, their different evangelism styles, the different third places they visit, whether you want to play to their strengths or stretch them out of their comfort zone.  Also consider the location and the timing i.e. if you have been meeting in the evenings, you may want to do the final session at the weekend during the day.  You may wish to survey the group to ask them what they would most like to do during this session. You could keep the group as one, or split into two groups giving options of different types of evangelism.

Start by asking for any feedback from last week, especially with the ‘taking it further’ section.

  2. Then discuss what interests/hobbies you have. 
  3. How could you create an intentional presence by bringing together these places and passions?
