The theme of this year's Congress on Evangelism will honor Charles Wesley's birth (December 18, 1707). It will be one the largest United Methodist gatherings to focus on the historic recollection of this brother in Christ. One of the powerful verses we pray will be the Wesleyan’s zeal again: “O that the world might know the all atoning Lamb! Spirit of faith, descend and show the virtue of his name; the grace which all may find, and saving power, impart, and testify to humankind, and speak to every heart.” Both John and Charles came to the beginning colony of Georgia and labored in the Gospel’s outreach. Charles will especially be our guide as we step on the very soil in which the Wesley’s preached and claimed the new land for Christ!
The Congress on Evangelism is sponsored by the Council on Evangelism and the General Board of Discipleship with the support of The Foundation for Evangelism. The congress meets every January at different locations presenting motivational speakers and workshops based on evangelism.
The Foundation for Evangelism chooses and sponsors every other year the Denman Lecturer at the congress. These are a series of lectures on evangelism given by a distinguished pastor or lay person.
The Foundation for Evangelism also provides a limited number of scholarships for the event to first-time attendees.
