The mission of Evangelize All Ministries is to set individual hearts on fire with the love of God and then fan the flames. Accordingly, the primary offering of our apostolate is a three part evangelization process: (1) Evangelize through the God Is! Day of Renewal, (2) Catechize through supportive faith formation materials, and (3) Communitize through Faith & Fellowship Meetings.
Evangelize through God Is! A one day journey closer to God.
The God Is! Day of Renewal is a lived experience; a one day journey that brings people into a (closer) personal relationship with God. The participants hear the Good News of Salvation proclaimed succinctly and personally by their peers in a way that invites them to accept the truth and be transformed by it. The participants are also led through a renewal of the Sacraments in order to promote a better understanding of and love for them, especially Reconciliation and the Mass.
• God Is! proclaims the kerygma – the Good News of Salvation shared personally, simply and effectively. Concise presentations of the basic truths of the faith challenge participants to say their “Yes.” Even the most timid “Yes” empowers the Holy Spirit to work radical conversion of heart..
• God Is! helps participants to better understand and embrace the sacraments of Baptism, Reconciliation, Eucharist and Confirmation. Participants will leave with a greater thirst for the outpouring of grace that comes from frequent reception of Reconciliation and Holy Communion.
• God Is! promotes a personal encounter with the Risen Lord and on on-going relationship with our Triune God.
• God Is! meets people where they are, reaching out through proclamation, personal witness, Sacramental renewal, prayer, Eucharistic adoration, music and skits to help their faith come alive
• God Is! can be implemented by any parish or any group anywhere. Recognizing the constraints on staff, volunteers and participants’ schedules, God Is! is simple and easily implemented.
For some, God Is! will be an introduction to the fullness of truth found in the Catholic Church. For others, it will be call to return home to the faith of their childhood or a catalyst for reinvigorating their lukewarm faith. For all, even the most devout, God Is! will be an important step forward in their faith journey.
Catechize through ongoing faith formation materials
Following the God Is! Day of Renewal, all participants receive faith formation materials at no cost to the parish/organization.
• In partnership with Lighthouse Catholic Media, Evangelize All Ministries provides participants a packet of awesome, inspiring and informative CDs . Participants can avail themselves of these non-threatening tools of inspiration and formation at their convenience (e.g. at home or while commuting).
• Evangelize All Ministries sends out a short monthly “Epistle” (email newsletter) that supports adults in their faith journey. They teach, inspire, challenge and provide great tools for personal spiritual growth. Recent Epistles can be found on bottom right-hand portion of the home page of this website under “Recent Posts.”
Communitize through simple, convenient, self-led faith groups
Evangelize All Ministries promotes the implementation of “Faith & Fellowship Meetings.” These simple, one hour meetings provide an opportunity for anyone, no matter where they are in their journey, to come together in a supportive and prayerful environment and listen to/dialogue on the upcoming week’s Gospel. Faith & Fellowship Meetings:
• Are open to anyone
• Do not require any commitment, homework or materials to buy
• Are easy to implement -“If you can read, you can lead!”
• Can be held anytime, anywhere – at the parish, in homes, at a local coffee shop, etc.
• Can be offered for parents at the same time religious education is being taught
