Are you determined to grow your church in the next twelve months, but not quite sure where to start?

Do you want your congregation to grow in effective evangelism in your neighborhood, but wonder how you can lead them onward?

Does modeling personal evangelism strike fear and anxiety in the heart?

Are your church visitors slipping through the cracks and not coming back?

Come to The Gathering 2010 and discover practical solutions to some of these vexing questions.

Chris Walker, of http://www.EvangelismCoach.org, is the featured speaker for this year’s Gathering for Church Development.

Chris will address the following questions at The Gathering 2010:

• How can our church engage our neighborhood and be a local expression of the Body of Christ? 
• How can we train our members in personal evangelism and impact local community?
• How can we make effective changes that will help visitors feel welcome in our church?
• How can we extend a genuine welcome to everyone who attends our services?

He is fittingly known as the Evangelism Coach because of his extensive work with churches in the US and Latin America in the areas of evangelism and church growth. Chris is an ordained pastor in the Presbyterian Church (USA).

His website has over 700 articles on personal evangelism, congregational evangelism, and hosptiality, as well as a podcast feed, all for free.

I feel rejuvenated in learning to pray after the Salvation Army Quest ministry workshops in Michigan. Chris is very passionate and on fire for what he speaks about. Keep up the good work!

Come to The Gathering 2010 to learn some of the practical ways Chris has discovered to grow your church out of his research, study, and first hand real life experience from serving as a local pastor, planting two churches and doing evangelism work cross culturally in 9 different countries.

Chris is a highly accessible speaker who brings a passion and energy to his workshops that is contagious.
