Outreach and Church Ministries NZ
School of Evangelism
The School of Evangelism is a course designed to raise up a new generation of evangelists who will work closely with the local church in mentoring, equipping, inspiring and resourcing them to effectively take the power of God for salvation (the Gospel) into the community. The goal is that people will have an opportunity to have their lives transformed by Christ and to be discipled to maturity, actively serving in the local church and the community.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Ever since arriving at Waihi Presbyterian Church in 2007 I have been praying, 'Lord, please push me out of the nest, beyond my comfort zone, so that I might share you, so that all those sitting in darkness may see a great light'. Earlier this year the Lord gave me the most tangible evidence ever of answered prayer when He sent me on the School of Evangelism course in Hastings. In the 2 weeks I was there I was totally pushed out of my nest, receiving what I can only describe as spiritual commando training which has seen me return to Waihi, sharing with more people on the street, and knocking on more doors in one month than in my whole four years prior to going on the course. Churches wondering how they can come alive, grow, be filled with the Spirit of God and the blessings of Christ, be carried forward with a purpose that is bang in the middle of the bullseye of God's will – to you all I say, 'it is crystal clear what to do: send as many people in your congregation as you can to the OAC School of Evangelism. That is undoubtedly the answer.'
— David Balchin, Waihi Presbyterian Church Pastor
