TURNING FESTIVALS!
Why Choose Festivals.
1:Why Festivals?
They Work. Turning Festivals are an evolution from May 2016’s evangelistic outpouring. The Gate Reading started a one-week street mission, and by the end of four weeks, over two thousand people had responded to the gospel on the streets. Since then, thousands have been trained in France, Switzerland, Scotland, England, Wales, Zambia, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Spain, and Germany. What started on the streets has developed into festivals, enabling those passionate about other areas of church life, such as Art, Business, Education, Sports, Youth, children, Crafts, Music, The Military, Doctors, Medical Practitioners, etc, to engage in collaborative evangelism with friends.
Online Training of Teams
2: We Identify and Coach Local Ministry Teams.
Team coaching and preparations are done via Zoom online.
Rev Yinka Oyekan will provide online coaching for the various teams that will be delivering the mission in the local context. These take place once a month on Zoom.
Support for Churches
3: We apply our In-Reach tool for Churches that need help with equipping church members
Sometimes, Churches need help to get going.
Alongside the Coaching of Teams that host the outreaches, we provide an In-Reach coaching program for churches that want to get the best out of the Festival. This is done over two separate evenings
Advertising
