Bill Cooper has attended Northside for many years and has brought us Witnessing Made Simple.  It has been said that if everyone contacted only two other people, in a very short period of time the entire population of the world would be networked together. Just think of what could be accomplished if we all could reach out to only two other people in need and be able to help them realize a life with Christ.

To do this, we must be effective in our witnessing.  To be more effective in our witnessing, we must be more diligent in our study of Scripture.  But how?  There are thousands of verses in the Bible, where does one begin?

Ed Cole says, "There are seven verses you need to know to be an effective witness, only seven."  The purpose of Witnessing Made Simple is to identify and study these seven verses.  Each chapter takes an in depth look at the verse, the book of the Bible it appears in, the author of that book, and the verse's relevance to being a witness for the Lord.

A stone cast into a pond creates ripples that extend far beyond the initial contact.  So it is with effectve witnessing. 

You can find Witnessing Made Simple at Northside at our Resource Center or ask in the church office to purchase your copy.
