How can churches develop a culture of evangelism in all of church life? Are we ready to receive people who are searching for spiritual answers?

With more people becoming open to spiritual things, churches need to be ready to be the place they can find answers and meet Jesus.

In this episode of In:Dependence, Adrian Reynolds (FIEC Head of National Ministries) and Nick McQuaker (A Passion for Life) discuss what a culture of evangelism might look like in our churches and what small steps church leaders can take to begin to develop one.

You can get the show notes and more resources for church leaders on the FIEC website: https://fiec.org.uk/resources/a-culture-of-mission.
