Saturday, October 18, Glenwood will be hosting an evangelism seminar from Stefan Gustavsson entitled, “How to Persuasively Communicate the Gospel.” This seminar is designed to be a combination of knowledge and practical training in order to put tools in your hand to confidently communicate the gospel persuasively to those that have legitimate questions.

In this seminar, we will look in-depth into strategies to communicate the Gospel more persuasively
