Join Fergus McMorrow from Divine Healing Ministries, as he and his friends share some life-changing testimonies.

Most Christians know they should be trying to tell their friends and family about Jesus. But that can seem so hard to do in the world that we live in - it's offensive, inappropriate, and insensitive. Trends show that the majority of Christians rarely share the good news about Jesus; they're worried they might offend their family or lose friends. In this seminar, Wallace Bruce from Christian Unions Ireland will help equip anyone who might be reluctant or nervous to tell their friends about Jesus. This seminar will be of particular relevance to anyone who is leaving school or who is at college or university and concerned about sharing their faith in a new place.
