#186 – Evangelism in the Western University 🗓
With Richard Cunningham
University is often considered the last 'best' opportunity to become a Christian - it is a mission field that is ripe for the harvest. This webinar will consider some of the challenges facing university evangelism, including current attitudes and culture wars, how we can best understand today's students and identity issues, free speech and censorship, and what having a biblical empathy for students might look like.
