EMPOWERED

A Daytime course to encourage and inspire you in your faith 

Starting Thursday February 1st

From 10.30 - 12.00 in the Francis Norrish Room

This is a 7 Week course by the well- known evangelist, Becky Manley Pippert to encourage us in Personal Evangelism.

Often we can find talking about our faith difficult - maybe we feel we don't know enough, or we fear rejection. We might feel it's something others can do but we can't. Well if you have ever felt like that then this is for you.

It is all about encouraging and equipping all of us who may for all sorts of reasons feel inhibited about sharing our faith.

Each session includes a short opening DVD introduction, Bible Study, DVD talk (30 mins), discussion and prayer. 

We ran it in the evenings last Autumn and it went down very well. It's good.

Becky Pippert is a global conference speaker, evangelist and author of 

eleven books.

Becky’s worldwide best selling book, Out of the Saltshaker & into the World, released more than 35 years ago, remains the definitive guide to personal evangelism. Becky is in demand internationally to speak on living life as an effective witness for Christ. Her other books include titles on spiritual formation, renewal and discipleship. She speaks frequently to evangelistic events.

Becky engaged in a more limited schedule of speaking events while raising a family—but when the nest became empty and the last child went off to college, she became involved once again in full-time ministry. Becky and her husband established Saltshaker Ministries in 2001, with the aim of helping Christians to become confident disciple-makers. The demand for her to speak at evangelistic events grew rapidly, and Becky and her husband spent most of the following decade traveling the world, training and teaching.

In 2009 Becky and Dick felt a call to base themselves in the UK, to spend a season of ministry focused on Europe... where some said that “the lights had gone out for the gospel.” But Becky and Dick had been surprised and excited by a new generation of young adults who were eager to share the gospel. Becky and Dick have spent six years based in Europe, seeing remarkable fruit as they have equipped churches and student groups to share the gospel effectively.

Today Becky divides her time between North America and Europe as she continues her worldwide ministry, which has spanned nearly four decades on all six continents.

As Becky says:
“When it comes to personal evangelism, let’s not repeat the older way by sharing truth with little relationship. Nor the newer way that is often relationship with little truth. Let’s follow the biblical model of sharing the beauty and the truth of the gospel in the context of authentic, genuine relationship.”

Some Quotes:
“In recent years Becky has been exercising an extraordinary evangelistic and teaching ministry all over Europe, the most secular continent in the world. Whether speaking to believers or unbelievers, her teaching and writing is imaginative, accessible, practical and thoughtful.”

“In my earliest days planting a church in Manhattan, I discovered that Becky’s Christian vision had deep appeal to many of the most skeptical and secular people. I personally have learned much from her for my own preaching and teaching. Her books and teaching are clear and accessible, yet substantial and thoughtful. Becky evidences years of experience working with people at all stages of belief and skepticism. I highly recommend her ministry.”
