Evangelism

One thousand Congreso attendees learned how to obey Christ by walking by faith, taking action, and staying connected to him.

Attendees of [un]Apologetic Evangelism Conference learned to defend their faith; respond and minister to loved ones engaged in deconstruction. 

On Feb. 17, during the Evangelism Strategic Planning Committee meeting, Texas Baptists’ Evangelism director, Oza Jones, signed a memorandum of understanding with Pete Kelly, CEO of Apartment Life. The partnership helps Texas Baptists churches to identify and send missionaries to Apartment Life’s communities.

Nadeem Hajir talks how he found Jesus and how the [un]Apologetic conference gave him “newfound confidence” to defend his faith. 

“My heart is really to help churches to saturate their communities and their cities with Jesus Christ by teaching them to define, declare, defend and demonstrate the gospel of Jesus Christ.”

Congreso, I came to tell you that your identity is in Christ. You are loved, you are forgiven and you are called.

The result was a moving two-day conference in which church leaders and laity were urged to share Christ and show love with an intentional focus, as Texas Baptists director of Evangelism Leighton Flowers explained, on “the soul of the person you are with.”

Church leaders and laypersons alike will have another opportunity to be equipped and encouraged to share the good news of Jesus Christ.

93 students became believers in Christ Easter weekend at Congreso, one of the largest Hispanic youth evangelism conferences in the U.S.

"May all these vans with funny names be filled up with passionate praise and gospel witness."

“It’s a strategic moment in the college rhythm,”

“A pastor in today’s world and ministry, you have to get out of your box, out of your office,”

“The church is good at huddling, but (Jesus) said, ‘I want you to go!’”

“Having this knowledge can make the church relevant again in the public sphere of ideas and influence,”

"...we should be engaged in that which is not sin, but which makes you feel relevant and relatable so that it opens the door to share the gospel,”

“When they’re here, they’re immersed in learning the importance of sharing their faith and not being intimidated,”
