Discussion Questions
1. How does unity among churches create powerful opportunities for evangelism in a community?
The churches in Toowoomba worked together to partner with their city for Easterfest, leading to widespread impact. Reflect: How can your church or small group collaborate with other Christians to bless your local community?
Read: John 17:21 – "That all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me."
In what ways can the church practically serve and bless the wider (non-church) community to create open doors for the Gospel?
Easterfest wasn’t just about music—it brought economic benefit and lowered crime rates in Toowoomba. Reflect: What needs can your community meet that demonstrate God’s Kingdom in practical ways?
Read: Jeremiah 29:7 – "Seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper."
How can evangelism go beyond traditional church activities and extend into cultural spaces (e.g., music, arts, sports)?
The festival leveraged music and even partnered with venues like pubs to reach people where they were. Reflect: What cultural or creative spaces around you could be entry points for sharing your faith?
Read: 1 Corinthians 9:22 – "I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some."
4. What role does excellence and creativity play in sharing the Gospel effectively today?
Easterfest attracted major bands, created professional platforms, and influenced culture far beyond church walls. Reflect: Are you using your gifts and talents to reflect God’s excellence in evangelism?
Colossians 3:23-24 – "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters."
5. How do partnerships between the church and non-church entities (e.g., councils, businesses) model Christ’s influence in the marketplace?
Easterfest succeeded because Christians worked alongside non-faith-based organisations. Reflect: Are there non-Christian organisations you could partner with for a Kingdom purpose?
Read: Matthew 5:16 – "In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven."
6. How can we trust God for the unseen and long-term impact of our evangelistic efforts?
Stories like Easterfest’s influence on anti-slavery efforts and even touching the Royal Family show how God works beyond what we see. Reflect: Where do you need to trust God more for the unseen fruit of your evangelism?
Read: Galatians 6:9 – "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."
Are we willing to think bigger when it comes to reaching people with the Gospel?

Read: Ephesians 3:20 – "Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.”

Discussion Questions
1. How can simple acts of obedience, like giving someone a Bible, open the door to life-changing encounters with Jesus?
Reflect on the impact of the young woman giving Omar a Bible in high school.
Read: Isaiah 55:11 – “So is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.”

Reflect on the metaphor Omar shared about people living farthest from the “bakery” not even receiving crumbs.
Read: Romans 15:20 – “It has always been my ambition to preach the gospel where Christ was not known, so that I would not be building on someone else’s foundation.”
3. When have you seen God use unexpected detours or difficulties to accomplish His purpose in your life or in sharing the Gospel?
Reflect on Omar’s story of how changing their walking route in Bangladesh led them to villages they hadn’t planned to visit.
Read: Proverbs 16:9 – “In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.”

5. Where is your personal "line" of comfort when it comes to evangelism, and what might it look like for you to "go beyond" it?
Reflect on the areas of your life where sharing your faith feels comfortable and predictable. What might God be asking you to step into that feels unfamiliar or inconvenient?
Read: Acts 1:8 – “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses... to the ends of the earth.”
6. Have you experienced or do you expect to encounter hostility or rejection when sharing the gospel? How does Jesus' teaching on finding "persons of peace" (Luke 10:5-6) apply to your situation?
Consider how you might discern and focus on those who are open to hearing the gospel in your circles of influence.
Read: Luke 10:5-6 – “When you enter a house, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’ If someone who promotes peace is there, your peace will rest on them...”
7. Are your conversations more about your church or about Jesus Himself?
Omar challenged believers to focus their conversations on Jesus rather than on church activities. How can you make Christ the centre of your conversations?

In this episode, host Tina Waldrom explores how pastors and church leaders can effectively equip believers for evangelism. Sharing the gospel isn’t just for pastors—it’s a calling for every believer. However, many Christians hesitate because they don’t feel confident articulating their faith. Tina discusses how teaching frameworks can help simplify the gospel message, making it easier to share. Prayer is another key element in effective evangelism, and Tina encourages churches to build a culture of prayer specifically focused on outreach.
Beyond traditional methods, Tina highlights the role of social media as a powerful evangelism tool in today’s digital world. She urges churches to integrate evangelism into all aspects of ministry, rather than treating it as a one-time event. By providing practical resources and celebrating small wins—like a single conversation about Jesus or someone taking a step closer to faith—churches can inspire more believers to actively share the gospel. This episode is packed with insights to help pastors and church leaders create a church culture where evangelism is second nature, equipping believers with the tools and confidence to share Jesus in their everyday lives.
In this podcast episode, you will discover that:
Pastors play a crucial role in equipping believers for effective evangelism.
Practical tools like the Romans Road can help articulate the gospel clearly.
Confidence in evangelism grows through role-playing, practice, and preparation.
Prayer and social media are powerful tools for reaching people with the gospel.
Celebrating small wins and integrating evangelism into church life encourages ongoing outreach.

In this episode, Tina Waldrom speaks with Nicola Gibb, who shares her firsthand experiences on how to run a gospel event, particularly tent gatherings. Nicola discusses the challenges of organising these activities, from fundraising to mobilising volunteers, and emphasises the crucial role of church leaders in casting a clear vision.

Discussion Questions
Who are the five people God is placing on your heart this year?
Reflect on your current relationships—family, friends, coworkers, or neighbours—who don't yet know Jesus. Write their names down and commit to praying for them regularly.
Scripture Reference: Colossians 4:2-3 - "Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message."
How can you build genuine connections with these five people?
Consider ways to intentionally connect with each person at least once a month—whether through a text, coffee, or a walk. How can you show up and listen more than you speak?
Scripture Reference: 1 Thessalonians 2:8 - "Because we loved you so much, we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well."
In what ways can you serve your five with kindness and love?
Think about small acts of service that demonstrate God's love in action—helping with errands, offering a thoughtful gift, or simply being there in times of need. How can you reflect Christ’s heart through your actions?
Scripture Reference: Galatians 5:13 - "Serve one another humbly in love."
What part of your story can you share naturally to point others to Jesus?
Identify moments in your life where your faith has made a difference. How can you share these experiences authentically and briefly without feeling pressured to have a dramatic testimony?
Scripture Reference: 1 Peter 3:15 - "Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect."
How can you invite your five to explore faith in a way that feels natural and comfortable for them?
Are there creative ways to introduce spiritual conversations—perhaps through a book, podcast, or a casual gathering? How can you create a safe space for them to explore?
Scripture Reference: Matthew 5:16 - "Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven."
How can you be attentive to opportunities God provides for deeper conversations?
Are you recognising moments when people open up about personal struggles or questions? How can you be sensitive to the Holy Spirit’s leading in these moments?
Scripture Reference: Ephesians 5:15-16 - "Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil."
How will you reflect, follow up, and adjust your approach as the year progresses?
Consider how your five are responding to your efforts. Are they becoming more open or still hesitant? How can you remain patient and adjust your approach with grace?
Scripture Reference: 2 Timothy 4:2 - "Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction."
