District Evangelism Team

The District Evangelism team includes at least one representative from each Circuit plus anyone with a particular passion for evangelism or experience in it.  

District Evangelism Team Strategy

·         The Rev Otto Ntshanyana, the District Evangelism Enabler, will spend 3 or 4 months in each Circuit encouraging and enabling people to “Talk of God” encouraging evangelism.

·      Utilise the publicity achieved by the Bible Society Media Campaign in the areas that the campaign will be run (planned for 2007).

·      Embrace “Fresh Expressions” by inviting a speaker, arranging a District conference and encouraging and enabling churches in the District.

·      Collate details of useful resources, such as books and courses, so that appropriate resources can be recommended to churches in the District.

District Evangelism Enabler

Rev Otto Ntshanyana

New ways of working

After getting to know the District and its people, the Rev Otto Ntshanyana is enabling evangelism by working with particular Circuits for 3 - 4 month periods.  The programme can include the use of the Methodist report "Time to Talk of God", encouraging Christians to share their faith and participate in evangelism.
