Description
Jim Petersen shares what he's learned from over 25 years of working with the unchurched. He shows that, although many people don't want to hear about our faith, they will talk about their own felt needs-needs that can only be met in Christ.
Learn how to develop relationships with the unreached, model the Christian message, and eventually present the Bible's claims in a non-threatening manner.
