Encounter Henley Welcomes Pastor: Tex Horner

In this powerful message, Pastor Tex Horner kicks off our new series, Evangelism for Everyone, with a heartwarming, hilarious, and deeply personal story about a surprise Christmas invitation. From a "proper English family" stranded in a Motel 6 in Texas, to a stranger's act of radical hospitality, Tex reveals how a simple shared meal can be the most powerful act of evangelism.

Join us as we discuss:

• The unexpected power of hospitality: How a willingness to welcome others into your life, with all its messiness (and half-full cans of Dr. Pepper!), can create a bond deeper than words.
• Overcoming the "hurdles" of evangelism: We tackle the common fears and excuses that hold us back—time, money, and the fear of not being "the right person."
• The habits of evangelism: Learn about the six key habits we'll be exploring in this series, starting with hospitality.
• A biblical example of radical generosity: We unpack the story of Elisha and the Shunammite woman from 2 Kings 4, and discover how her simple act of kindness led to a life-altering miracle.

This episode will challenge you to see the people around you not as projects, but as people to love like Jesus would. It’s a powerful reminder that evangelism isn’t a formula, but a genuine relationship built on love, consistency, and a willingness to share your life.

Tune in and be inspired to say "yes" to those unexpected invitations!
