Indiana—During the past few months, many church members throughout Indiana have answered the call to become involved in evangelism firsthand. The ShareHim evangelistic program has swept across Indiana in a big way. ShareHim is an organization started by Robert Folkenberg, Sr., former General Conference president, to equip members for evangelism both at home and overseas. It involves properly equipping and training to preach your own evangelistic series.

Through incredible technology, preaching an evangelistic series becomes a very exciting possibility. The program provides a top-notch sermon series, as well as first-class graphics. The program has been put together so well that almost anyone can do it. To date, ShareHim has trained more than 4,000 people around the world who went on to hold their own series. The youngest participant has been 11, and the oldest was 90. Once a person is trained, all the sermon material for the computer or the DVD is provided free by ShareHim.

To date, in Indiana, four training events for ShareHim have been held. These training “boot camps” took place at Timber Ridge Camp and at the Glendale, Fort Wayne, and South Bend churches. Folkenberg and his team provided the training at Timber Ridge Camp, and Ben Kochenower, a CPA from South Carolina, provided the training at the churches. To date, more than 100 people have been trained and have agreed to hold an evangelistic series in Indiana or abroad. In January, a group from Indiana is traveling to Ghana to conduct a series.

If you would like to get involved in this very exciting outreach, contact Paul Yeoman, Indiana Conference ShareHim coordinator, at the Conference office for additional information. The phone number is 317-844-6201.
