How does the Church evangelize and create disciples in an increasingly secular society? As more people leave the faith, how do we reach out to them when they have no interest in stepping on church property? In this workshop sponsored by JST, we will begin to explore strategies of evangelization that address the realities of today’s more secular and disaffiliated population. We will discuss evangelization opportunities for students who serve in various ministry contexts.
