Passion for Evangelism and Oak Hill College have teamed this autumn to offer a practical workshop designed to help women craft engaging evangelistic talks for Christmas events.

With over 30 in the room at Oak Hill and 20 online, speakers included Sarah Dawkins from Torch Trust who asked how we can connect Christ with the season, Oak Hill College Principal James Robson on the craft of communicating well and Kristi Mair on the topic of failure.

In addition to the training, small group mentoring allowed participants to deliver a 5-7 minute pre-prepared talk and receive valuable feedback. The mentoring now continues beyond the workshop, with participants offered ongoing informal support via Zoom or WhatsApp to help them refine their talks ahead of any Christmas event.
