Mark Mittelberg – Becoming a Contagious Christian
On Saturday, August 4, 2007 at 6:30pm, Feed Your Faith is bringing Mark Mittlelberg to speak at Grace Baptist Church (7171 Oak Ridge Highway) in Knoxville, TN. Here’s a preview of the evening:
One of the keys to growing and feeling alive spiritually is learning to communicate our faith to others. But how? Most of us feel ill-equipped and unnatural, and would rather leave outreach to a “professional” — like our pastor or small group leader! That’s a normal feeling, but wait — by doing so you’ll miss the adventure of a lifetime, and you might miss out on the chance to make a life-changing impact on your family and friends.
That’s why we’re excited to have Mark Mittelberg, coauthor of the best-selling book, Becoming a Contagious Christian , come and Feed Our Faith by showing us how we can all find a natural approach to faith-sharing that fits our own individual personalities. It’s a liberating and inspiring message Mark has taught all over the world, freeing up and igniting countless listeners to become “contagious” Christians who have an influence that lasts for eternity.
Don’t miss this one — you’ll be encouraged that night, and impacted life-long!
Proceeds to benefit “Family Promise of Knoxville“. A love offering will be taken.
