Got Style Training at FBC Wellsboro

 

 

In the midst of beautiful fall foliage of north central Pennsylvania, Dr. Jeffrey Johnson conducted a Got Style? weekend at the First Baptist Church of Wellsboro, Pennsylvania.  He did an afternoon session, provided a morning message, and taught a combined Sunday School class for youth through adults.

His message came straight from the appendix of his book, Got Style? comparing us individually and congregationally to whether or not we had a missional modality or maintenance mentality. An invitation was given and a number responded, young and older alike to pray for their own spiritual needs and for the spiritual needs of others.

Dr. Johnson then used the Sunday School hour to show from the Older Testament that evangelism is really about introducing people to God's family and by faith inviting them to join it.

The afternoon long seminar focused on the contents of a Spring 2014 article in Christian Citizen magazine entitled discipleSHIFT that presented the components of effective faith sharing in the 21st century in complement to 1st century realities; as the early believers did it then, we should do it today, as our worlds, though two millennia apart, are really not that different.
