Written by Ron Crandall,  this is a special resource developed by the General Board of Discipleship in partnership with The Foundation for Evangelism.  Witness is directed specifically to the local church and its ministry of evangelism.  A 25-week study resource designed as a small group experience to explore and share the Christian faith, Witness will be to evangelism what Disciple has been to Bible study.

Witness incorporates biblical and theological reflection with the practice of spiritual disciplines within a community of faith and should develop in local churches a culture that encourages evangelism.  The Witness material, including a workbook, journal and video, may be purchased through Discipleship Resources at 1-800-685-4370 or Cokesbury at 1-800-672-1789.
