About the event
Have you ever wanted to speak about your faith but stayed quiet because you were worried it might sound awkward, intense or even too preachy?
What do you say when a friend asks why do you believe or when someone you love seems far from God?
Join us for a faith filled and inspiring evening as we explore these questions and thoughts we all have had, with Teresa Carvalho who is Evangelisation Coordinator for the Diocese of Westminster’s Agency of Evangelisation.
Mission is not only for priests, religious or people who have all the answers. God is calling you to bring Christ into your friendships, workplaces, parishes and everyday life. Sharing the faith does not need to be about having perfect answers or winning arguments. It is about recognising where the Holy Spirit is already moving and sharing what Jesus has done in your life and your personal encounter and testimony.
Whether you feel ready to evangelise or have no idea where to begin, this talk will offer practical encouragement to help you share your faith naturally and overcome fear, becoming the missionary disciple God calls you to be!
