Blowing on the Embers: Remembering My Love Story with God Rev. Van Tarpley
In this session, we will explore, remember, and retell our relationship with God through storying. This will be an interactive workshop, with feedback from fellow participants as we recall the chapter of the "Old Old Story" in which God reaches out to us in love.
Storying is an excellent way to experience again our
"first love" with God, and is a helpful aid to building a brief, powerful evangelistic testimony.
Van Tarpley is the Pastor of First Baptist Church of Bostonia in El Cajon. He is also the ABCOFLASH Resource Minister for the San Diego area and an adjunct professor of history at San Diego State

The Dynamic Spiritual Influence Pattern of Jesus
Dr. Gary Comer

A striking fact for church leaders and members alike to consider is that most believers know the Christian gospel but reach few with it. This interactive workshop breaks down how Jesus made his words to individuals deeply personal and powerful. In a time when sharing your faith in a natural way is critical, and when influential relationships can expand the reach of any church, God kindles in us His heart for those outside.
Learn skills to deepen relationships and draw spiritual interest. Explore how to read needs and storylines to pinpoint gospel communication. And, hopefully, gain conviction on why a Relational Evangelism Process is the Game Changer for gospel influence in our
