“Fluency” is the ability to speak a language easily and effectively. One of the missionary’s first tasks is to learn the new language well enough to become fluent. Many of us struggle to talk about Jesus in our everyday life because we have not learned and practiced the "gospel language.” Many believe the gospel is the ABCs of the Christians life, when in reality, as Tim Keller famously puts it, “the gospel is the A-Z of the Christian life."
Challenging everyone to become a missionary, movement leader and author, Jeff Vanderstelt, will train us how to become more fluent in the gospel language. The goal of this workshop for you to speak the gospel to the real brokenness and longing of people’s souls in a way that they can hear—a way that sounds like the good news of Jesus for them and their present situations.
Who Should Attend?
This workshop is not just for pastors and leaders, but for anyone who wants to become more skilled in speaking the truths of Jesus.
