Be Equipped in Evangelising - XEE

I just finished the XEE (www.xee.info) training a few days ago and it has been a great experience. Out of the days we've spent listening, discussing, laughing & sharing, 4 persons have come to know the Lord through connecting with them with the gospel. Isn't God wonderful?

XEE is a tool used for evangelism and to train others to do the same. What I really like about XEE is that it has a solid theological basis in sharing the gospel message (I am sure a lot of thoughts and prayer have gone into it) and it advocates evangelism as a process, a lifestyle. It helps believers to see that sharing the gospel is a very doable 'task' and that relationship/connection matters in the sharing process - significant conversations and dialogue as opposed to a "you listen to me only" method. This is especially helpful with modern city folks - especially the younger generation. Last but not least, the training is fueled by prayers - the host church got their folks involved by getting them to be prayer partners with the trainees. Isn't that awesome?

And oh, I've just shared the gospel with my mum (yea, you must be thinking what took me so long huh) in a way which I think is most complete and understandable.(though I've shared bits and pieces before). So you see my friends, getting yourself equipped is important. And always pray for your friends and family who have yet to know Jesus. Pray on.
