Evangelism isn’t a one-time activity; it’s a lifestyle. For a Christian college student like me, it’s impossible to go through the week without a few evangelism opportunities. There’s always someone with whom I can share the Gospel. But even with all the passion and faith that a young soul on fire for Jesus has, there always exists the possibility of hitting a snag and failing to properly convey the message of Christ. Especially if the one I’m sharing with has anti-Christian sentiments. That’s why it’s so crucial for me to know how to defend my faith; and, that’s why the 2017 “God on Trial” conference in Sacramento was such a tremendous blessing for me. (1 Peter 3:15)
For some people coming with my group from Good News Church, this was their very first exposure to apologetics. So, it was especially a blessing for them.
To paraphrase one individual:
The conference was very informative and interesting, every speaker was incredible, and this was definitely a great learning experience.
Being equipped for evangelism and receiving some theological education wasn’t the only blessing of this conference. Getting to hear answers to some of those difficult questions about God and Christianity served to strongly reaffirm my faith, and was truly inspiring. It reminded me of how great the God we love and serve is; it helped me learn a little bit more about Him, and become that much closer to His image. (1 Corinthians 13:12)
I’m very thankful for our brothers and sisters who put this conference together. The bottom line is that this was an amazing experience that was very educational and inspiring. The speakers were great, the organization of the event was executed on a professional level, and the Lord was with us.
