Jesus had compassion for the hurting: He listened to the broken, touched the rejected, and revealed the Father’s love. This weekly seven-week course of just 12 at Mermaid Waters, will empower you to follow Jesus’ example in ‘Compassion-Led Evangelism’. (Dinner provided)

Facilitators: Bill and Wilma Watson have led hundreds to Christ through Compassion-Led Evangelism. In this course, they will mentor, equip, encourage, and inspire you to do the same—even if sharing your faith has been a struggle in the past.

What is Compassion-Led Evangelism?

George Barna explains, “Evangelism, that starts at the non-believer’s point of felt need, and ties the gospel into that area of need, has the greatest capacity, for capturing the mind and heart of the non-Christian”.
