Dear Partners in the Gospel,
Here is an extraordinary offer from Taylor Bodoh. Taylor leads the InterVarsity ministry for the three campuses in Tallahassee. In his talk at Synod he mentioned an outreach method that InterVarsity uses called "Groups Investigating God" (GIG). Many of us had our imaginations captured by this simple method of evangelism. Taylor is offering his time and expertise (and that of the FSU chapter) to do training in our congregations. Here is the offer in his own words:
I want to make myself available to any churches in the Diocese that would be interested in hosting a GIG Training event, or some other kind of evangelism training. Here are a few seminar topics they could choose from:
- Using the Bible in Friendship Evangelism (GIG training)
- Owning the Great Commission: How to create a culture of evangelism?
- Launching Missional Ministries in your City
- Developing an Effective Small Group Ministry
I would be excited to share on any of these topics as they all relate very closely to my calling and experiences. But even if I was unavailable, there are several people from InterVarsity Tallahassee who do a wonderful job leading GIG training, so we could easily send a team of two to do a church visit. Please let the church leadership know that we would like to offer any seminars cost free besides any necessary travel costs, food, and a couch to sleep on.By God's grace, may the Gulf Atlantic Diocese become synonymous with evangelistic fervor and fruit!

I hope that many of the congregations in the diocese will take Taylor up on his offer. If you want more info on Groups Investigating God, go to the InterVarsity website: http://www.
I'm joining with Taylor in praying that our diocese would become synonymous with evangelistic fervor and fruit.
Peace,
Jim Hobby
