Friday Breakfast, Sponsored by NAMB. NAMB Evangelism Kit Training | Crossover Indy 2024

Join us for a brief training on the new NAMB Evangelism Kit. This resource equips pastors and leaders through a four-phased process to cultivate a culture of evangelism within their church. Then, hear about a practical way to get your people mobilized to share their faith: Crossover Indy 2024. Crossover is an evangelistic outreach before the SBC Annual Meeting where Southern Baptists from across the nation unite to make a gospel impact in the host city of the meeting. With Indianapolis hosting the 2024 meeting, Indiana Baptists have an incredible opportunity to impact that city with the hope of the gospel!

This event is for pastors, leaders, church staff, mission leaders, and their spouses. We hope to see you there!

The event will take place during the State Convention of Baptists in Indiana Annual Summit
