Go & Tell Evangelism Workshop testimonial

Hillside Missionary Church (MCUSA) from South Bend, Indiana, recently hosted a Go & Tell Ministries. Here is one of the participant’s testimonials about the Go & Tell Evangelism Workshop.

Who discipled you?

In the forward on the Great Commission Study participant and facilitator book, I wrote a thank you note to Pastor Dave….”The pastor who discipled me.” I spent the night with Dave at his home in South Carolina, and we visited over pizza on National Pizza Day! That seemed appropriate since I developed a great love for pizza while I was a student at Indiana University and attended his church (Evangelical Community Church, Bloomington, Indiana). My Great Commission Study video series has seven videos (each 20-25 minutes) and a Facilitator and Participant book. This video series has Pastor Dave’s fingerprint throughout the materials. I am so grateful to have sat under his leadership and to count him as one of my best friends. I asked Dave to share some wisdom for those seeking to follow Jesus. Please watch his comments at:

Go & Tell Evangelism Workshop Testimonial

I had a wonderful Go & Tell Ministries weekend at Hope C&MA in Indianapolis this weekend. Preaching at their Sunday morning worship service is always a blessing and honor. Pastor Kyle was excited to not only host the Go & Tell Ministries weekend, but they will also start the Great Commission Study video series in their church in a few weeks.

Pray until the Lord is done.

Coffee Devo with Go & Tell Ministries. I read Genesis 18:33 about how the Lord appeared to Abraham and shared how He would judge the people of Sodom and Gomorrah. Abraham pleaded for mercy on that group of people. At the close of that chapter, Genesis 18:33 says this: “When the Lord has finished speaking with Abraham, He left, and Abraham returned home.” What struck me in that passage was that conversation didn’t end when Abraham was done but ended when the Lord was done. I realized that often in my prayer walk with the Lord, I had finished way too early. I finished the conversation when I was done with my request, but I didn’t wait until the Lord dismissed me. May we pray to the Lord and not quit too early but wait until the Lord has finished a conversation with us, and then we go home. May we go and tell!

Canaan Community Church (C&MA) hosted a Go & Tell Ministries weekend.

I was blessed to return to Canaan Community Church in Coatesville, IN, to teach the Go & Tell Evangelism Workshop and to preach at their Sunday morning worship service recently. I was encouraged by their response, and I wanted to post two testimonials from the weekend. Please click these links to hear their thoughts about the Go & Tell Evangelism Workshop.

Coffee Devo with Pastor Jim @ Northwestern University

Coffee Devo with Go & Tell Ministries by Pastor Jim Halstead from Daniel Chapter 6. Daniel 6:10, “Now when Daniel learned that the decree had been published, he went home to his upstairs room where the windows opened toward Jerusalem. Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before.” Daniel 6:16, “So the king gave the order, and they brought Daniel and threw him into the lions’ den. The king said to Daniel, “May your God, whom you serve continually, rescue you!” Daniel 6:19-20, “At the first light of dawn, the king got up and hurried to the lions’ den.20  When he came near the den, he called to Daniel in an anguished voice, “Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to rescue you from the lions?” https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ZZP2WB7BLnY

Youth Worker on Fire YouTube Podcast

Doug Edwards wrote this introduction for the Youth Worker on Fire YouTube Podcast for Go & Tell: Jim Halstead started Go and Tell Ministries after working with students and discipling them for many years. Jim is a man who began life without a clue about who God is. A young man who did not grow up going to church. When I first met Jim, I had been five years into a student ministry that would end up being my most extended-term student ministry position. We would meet with youth pastors and volunteers as a district in the ministry department for the southeast and helped create one of three locations for Challenge 90 Evangelical Free Church of America. I recently learned that Jim would pray specifically for our student ministry and family for many years while he was located in Jacksonville, Florida, and I was in Central Florida. Jim has discipled so many students that are now adults, supporting him to help other workers do the same thing. Go and Tell Ministries: Jim’s story will inspire you to see beyond the next few weeks and months into your student ministry. Maybe even a glimpse far into your future and what staying around and investing more will look like on the other end of your life. Learn to Delight in God, declare the gospel, and disciple others to fulfill the great commission.

Delight in God by giving your best.

Mark 1:35 says, “very early in the morning while it was still dark, Jesus go tup, left his house and went off the solitary place, where He prayed.” Early in my faith in Jesus, I was encouraged to have a daily quiet time. To spend time daily with the Lord in prayer and Bible reading. My college pastor, Dave Faris, told me this great truth. Pastor Dave said: “Jim, it is just not enough to spend time with the Lord, but you want to give your best to Him.” Do you want to give your best to the Lord? To give your best in your Quiet Time, you need to ask yourself when you are at your best. Are you at your best in the morning, afternoon, or night? I’m a morning person, so every morning for years, I open my Bible to meet with Jesus. I read the Scriptures and pray like Jesus taught and modeled us. I want to ask you when you are at your best. Are you meeting with the Lord daily? To glorify God, we must delight in Him. If we delight in Him, we will go and tell. Watch the Coffee Devo by Go & Tell youtube link below:
