Randy Newman on Evangelism

3 Comments



Author and teacher Randy Newman will speak here at Covenant Life on two consecutive Sundays: May 29 and June 5. Randy has been on staff with Campus Crusade for Christ since 1980 and has spoken on college campuses, at the Pentagon, in churches, and in various academic settings. He is based in the D.C. area and recently spoke to the Singles Ministry here at Covenant Life. Randy says that his writing “has opened doors to teach the Bible and to train people in communicating their faith in dialogical and respectful ways.”


Randy’s message for May 29 will be derived from his book, Questioning Evangelism: Engaging People’s Hearts the Way Jesus Did. He recounts that his goal with this book was “to help non-evangelists do the work of evangelists. I see evangelism more as a dialogue than a sales pitch, and I want to help people know how to use questions to promote two-way conversations.”

On June 5, his message will revolve around his more recent book, Bringing the Gospel Home: Witnessing to Family Members, Close Friends, and Others Who Know You Well. Here, Randy focuses on the goodness of the gospel, the high priority of family, and the complexity of communication. He seeks to offer people hope by pointing them to Scripture and telling inspiring stories of others who have witnessed to family.

We are excited to hear Randy teach and to see how the church will grow through exposure to his books. They are a great resource; please look for them in the church bookstore.





So glad Randy is coming to speak, thanks for making this happen and caring for our souls!

Randy’s message was awesome. I’ve heard a lot of teaching on evangelisim but his message really brought it all together. I feel so much better equipped to share gospel.
Looking forward to hear what he has to say next week.

Wow, I would love to buy the book “Questioning Evangelism”. That would be great to my church to read. But there is a problem. We are from Brazil, and only I can read in english… and not so well, just the basics.
People here on Brazil really needs these books from you church. Would be a blessing if someday you guys could translate to portuguese!

I hope God be still use your lifes to bless so many others!

James 1.2,3 and 12

PS: I hope you can understand “my english”!
