About This Masterclass
How does an ordinary conversation become an invitation to know Jesus?
You care about the people around you. You want them to experience the love and freedom you’ve found in Jesus. But when an opportunity comes, you might wonder: How do I bring up faith? What should I say? Do I have to be more outgoing to do this?
In Evangelism, Tom Crandall helps you connect your heart for people with practical ways to share the gospel. Across four sessions, explore the message of salvation, learn to tell your story clearly, and discover how listening to the Holy Spirit can shape everyday conversations.
Through biblical teaching, testimonies, and simple activations, you’ll practice sharing your faith, offering prayer, and taking steps of courage rooted in compassion. You’ll also make room for the personal connection with Jesus that sustains it all.
Come discover how your story, your personality, and your everyday relationships can become places where people encounter His love.

Frequently Asked Questions
I’m quiet by nature. Can I share my faith without trying to become someone else?
Absolutely. Your personality has a place in how you love people and share Jesus. This class emphasizes authenticity, your own testimony, and partnership with the Holy Spirit. You can begin through a thoughtful conversation with someone you know, growing in courage while remaining yourself.
I want to talk about Jesus, but I don’t want people to feel like a project. Will this class help?
Yes. Tom grounds evangelism in intimacy with Jesus and genuine care for people. The teaching invites you to share from your own relationship with God, notice opportunities, and respond with compassion. You can speak openly about your faith while listening well, respecting someone’s response, and continuing to value the relationship.
