Eighty women from across Europe have gathered for a conference aimed at helping them grow in sharing their faith.
The ‘Passion For Evangelism’ (PFE) event was organised by Nay Dawson, regional training co-ordinator for the International Fellowship of Evangelical Students (IFES).
She said: ‘One of the unique aspects of our conference is that each guest prepares and presents an evangelistic presentation. We then give warm but constructive feedback in small groups. We want to encourage creativity as we communicate the gospel into our culture.
‘This year the guests could choose to communicate the gospel in a variety of ways. These included; a talk, a blog, spoken word poetry, short video and even song. The aim of these sessions is to give women confidence to return home and find opportunities to share the gospel.
‘Alongside our practical training we wanted to make time for the gospel to sweep us into Christ’s very heart. We don’t want to be people that only ever share the good news with others. We want to know His deepest heart for us. We enjoyed talks from Revelation and John’s Gospel. We sang together and enjoyed true fellowship in small discussion groups.’
Passion for Evangelism exists ‘to empower, equip and encourage woman to share the good news of Jesus with God-given confidence and creativity’. It was established in 2019.
