Today marks a beginning for The Foundation for Evangelism.
Today we have fulfilled the vision to be a Catalyst to Equip Disciples to Share the Good News of Jesus Christ for 70 years.
Dr. Harry Denman joined 4 passionate Methodists to establish the Foundation and named our chartered purpose on January 31, 1949. They said it this way: The Foundation for Evangelism’s purpose is “diffusing the blessings of the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ by promoting and supporting all phases of evangelism; [and] to promote evangelistic intelligence, interest and zeal throughout the Methodist Church, and throughout the nation and the world;”
Today, we have chosen the word CATALYST, an element that initiates actions and changes systems without changing its purpose or nature, to represent the vision of those who serve as trustees, staff, and partners.
Anniversaries are not about a moment in time. They establish a time to remember and celebrate while simultaneously launching the next chapter. Throughout 2019, The Foundation for Evangelism invites you to join us as we revisit the stories of ministry that impacts lives, churches, communities, and the world.
We will not stop at remembering. Every day we move forward to be a CATALYST. You are invited to join us as we explore where God is calling us next. We will continue to be a CATALYST for the creation of disciples so changed by their relationship with Jesus Christ that they cannot help but serve as he served or share WHY JESUS in every aspect of their lives.
