First Season First Harvest

It was important that the young, new Church could be identified and set apart from the crowd by becoming known as a group of gracious and kind people. This reflected God's initiative as always being the first to show mercy.The examples of Barnabas, Ananias, and Sapphira illustrated what it meant to have a proper heart of generous servanthood as their standard of behavior.The next lessons for the Church were in evangelism and witnessing, to large public crowds and to individuals one at a time. This book is a candid examination of issues when dealing from scratch with four categories of unbelievers and discipling them. Every new Christian was witnessed to by a Christian who had been formed in these lessons.This revised edition contains additional material included in the print version. I'm a retired deacon in the Episcopal Church. I served at a parish in central Florida. I've worked in radio, television and several jobs that included public relation efforts. As a Christian, I have discovered one of the things I enjoy most is spending time in a prayer closet with Jesus, learning to be still so He has space to speak.
