Pastor Jose Zayas pastors a church in Portland, OR, but he has a strong calling on his life for evangelism. Today we talk about how to equip the local church to reach people for Jesus. We talk about creating a culture of evangelism in the church by encouraging members to share their faith and inviting people into their homes for discussion and connection. We also talk about Pastor Jose’s process for putting together an evangelistic sermon.

Paul Durham used to be a pastor, but God called him to be an evangelist. Today we talk about the importance of being faithful with the small things and how God will give us big things to do for His kingdom. We also explore how to battle pride and ego as an evangelist.

The Message Trust is a global ministry that seeks to reach young people, particularly those in urban and marginalized communities, with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Founded over 30 years ago in the UK, the organization has expanded its work to South Africa, Uganda, Ethiopia, and other African countries. The Message Trust’s approach combines bold gospel proclamation with practical, transformational programs that address the holistic needs of young people. This includes initiatives like GangStar Enterprises, which provides job skills training and discipleship for youth involved in crime and gangs. The organization also partners with local churches to establish community hubs that offer educational support, sports, and other activities to draw in young people and disciple them in the faith. Under the leadership of South African director Tim Tucker, the Message Trust is focused on equipping the African church to effectively engage youth in urban settings.
