Final Night of Gospel Meeting Stresses Discipleship, Evangelism

Fred reminds us that discipleship is the key to transforming our world, our society, our communities and our local church. Evangelism begins with the knowledge that “Christ died for me”. From there, one can prioritize their life in such a way that God can use them to see the people he puts in their life as potential children of God.
