State Directors of Evangelism Annual Meeting

CRM for DBC’s Black Hills and Siouxland areas, Chad McCord, attended the State Directors of Evangelism Annual Meeting in New Orleans, LA, in January. This meeting is an opportunity for SDOEs to encourage evangelism and equip for evangelism efforts across the state. English professor from OBU, Alan Noble, shared a session on how distractions in the modern lifestyle take away from evangelistic efforts in the lives of individuals. 

Another session was led by John Avant, president of Life Action Ministries and former vice president of NAMB. Avant spoke on living a Spirit-filled life and how this lifestyle will lead to a greater zeal for evangelism. Fred Luter, former SBC president, led another session, speaking on the four enemies of evangelism. Attendees were also trained in ways of attempting to creating an ethos of evangelism in churches. The material used to train the SDOEs will hopefully be ready to use by churches by the summer of 2023.
