Testify Training Camp

Join us for a 4-day (4-night) camp of witnessing training and outreach. Mornings are spent in evangelism training at the camp; afternoons are spent putting into practice what we learned at the Iowa State Fair, which includes helping at the Answers in Genesis gospel booth. Due to staff and space limitations, we are offering two camps this year.

You Will Experience:

Practical training in witnessing and apologetics
One-on-one coaching and opportunity to glean tips from others in action
Evening fellowship and opportunity for Q&A

You Will Learn To:

Transition conversations with unbelievers from natural to spiritual topics
Pass out gospel tracts with confidence and skill
Use creation science as a starting point
Be winsome and gentle
Use questions to generate gospel discussions

This camp is for anyone with a heart for the lost, ages 16 and up

No previous witnessing experience required.

“I had a great time at the booth, praying, and street witnessing, but my highlight might have been street witnessing! It’s hard to choose.” - Kaylee

“I witnessed to a lady and then left for another group. She called me back then and we talked for 20 min. All sorts of questions, really interesting. Amazing.”
