Ecuadorian Youth with a Passion for
Personal Evangelism
Youth sharing Christ in Pintag, Ecuador
in the Peniel Theological Seminary course on Personal Evangelism.
"… Praising God, and having favor with all the people. The Lord was
adding to their number day by day those who
were being saved" (Acts 2:47).
Why should we
be personal witnesses?
The simple answer is
that Jesus called us to be His witnesses. Jesus
said, "All authority has been given to Me in
heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make
disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in
the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy
Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I
command you; and lo, I am with you always, even
to the end of the age" (Matthew 28:18-20).
One of the courses
Wil teaches at Peniel Theological Seminary in
Ecuador is personal evangelism. He also presents
Evangelism in Depth workshops in churches in all
areas of the country.
