Agora Evangelism Ministries

Agora Evangelism Ministries partners with local churches to reach the world for Jesus. We do this in three different areas:

First, and our main focus, we work with local churches to reach their neighboring marketplace for Jesus. Our goal is to reach the lost when they gather in places such as fairs, motorcycle shows, car shows, craft shows, and carnivals. We do this by training and equipping Christians and local churches to work in evangelism booths and tents to give a clear, effective verbal presentation of the gospel of eternal life through Jesus Christ.

Second, we provide evangelism training and evangelism supplies to churches going on short term mission trips. We work with local churches before they leave on their short term mission trips. We train them on how to use the beaded bracelets in any environment they will encounter on the mission field. This is a very effective way to quickly train church members in evangelism when they may have never tried to share their faith before.

Third, we work with local pastors to establish soul winner training in their local church. We do this by training the pastor in the use of Soul Winners’ Club – both in his personal soul winning and in how to set up the club to be used in his church to make it a vibrant part of their ministry.

Nursing Homes and God’s Miracles

Thursday night the ladies went to the nursing home and met Betty Ann. She was very young, only 49. As Betty Ann spoke the ladies could tell that Betty Ann was a little slow. She could definitely understand the conversation but had her own pace.

As they talked about one topic, Betty Ann would jump around to other topics, sometimes new ones and sometimes back to old ones. After a short time the ladies found out that she was not sure about heaven. The lady presenting the gospel tried to ask many questions to see if Betty Ann understood.

As she talked about the death of Christ, Betty Ann said “Easter” – giving the ladies much hope that she understood. And as the ladies talked about the resurrection, Betty Ann stopped to describe the nails in Jesus’ hands. In the end Betty Ann prayed to receive Christ. With much joy the ladies believed that Betty Ann had received Christ.

We are now getting ready for our busy fair season. We will be involved in about a dozen different fairs, carnivals and craft shows this year.

In particular, we will be in Anne Arundel County, Harford County, Reese Carnival, DelMarVa Bike Week, Jane Lew Craft Show, and several others.

Stay tuned for dates and exact locations as they become available.

Missions Trip to Jamaica

Witnessing here in Nagril, Jamaica is the easiest thing in the world. Everyone is friendly and most people have not been presented with a clear gospel presentation. It is a blessing for me but a sad commentary on the churches on this island. Maybe we can turn this around.

As I walked down the beach I saw two young men wearing black pants, white shirts and white safari hats. I caught up to them and, smiling, said, “Hi.”

Their names were Anthony and Clifton. They were beach cops – I thought, wow, what a job. I gave them bracelets and they stopped their walking to hear the message.

After about 5 minutes they both bowed their heads and asked Jesus to be their Savior. As I was going over the “green bead” (growth) they both said the temptations on the beach patrol were many. I spent extra time on confessing our sins.
