Garry Poole

I'm sitting in an evangelism training class with Garry Poole (Seeker Small Groups) where he's training us on a "different" approach to evangelism. Here are two big ideas that encompass his training...

Empathic Evangelism - The process of guiding non-Christians to self-discover biblical truths by seeking first to understand through asking great questions and listening really well.

Living in 3-D - A process of building genuine friendships with non-Christians based on common interests by offering unconditional acceptance with relational intelligence. (Develop Friendships, Discover Stories, Discern Next Steps)
