“This Team is on the Move!”
Tampa, FL. When there isn't much foot traffic or people simply aren't responding to your evangelization efforts, it may be time to consider moving on and trying another location. The important thing is to remain open to what God is asking you and your team to do. If...
“Jesus Softens Hard Hearts”
Boise, ID. When we're out on the street, we should always be ready to show others God's mercy. The Latin word for mercy is misericordia, derived from miserere ("pity" or "misery") and cor ('heart"). So we're actually seeking to relieve them of a heart that is in...
“Roving Evangelization”
Orlando, FL. While it's often ideal to establish one particular spot from which you evangelize as people walk by, sometimes that may not be the best method. As we'll see in today's story, our evangelists walked through a park situated very near to Walt Disney...

“Student Testimony”
Novi, MI. Do you remember the first time you evangelized? Did you feel unprepared? Perhaps you felt like you said the wrong thing and doubted that you should even be out there? Most of us probably struggled with self-doubt when we first went out to share the gospel....
“Reverencing Mary”
Fort Worth, TX. While it's obvious to us Catholics why we reverence the Blessed Virgin Mary, many Protestants struggle this. If they only understood all of her extraordinary qualities, her immense love, her place of honor in heaven, they would certainly agree that...
