Collaborative Evangelism in the Treasure Valley

March 28, 2019

When Seventh-day Adventist churches in Idaho joined together in 2018–2019 to reach their communities through collaborative efforts, they discovered several lessons in the value of partnership. The Idaho Conference hired a Bible work trainer to help local church members learn how to connect their friends and neighbors with Scripture truth. When a culminating series of evangelistic meetings were presented by evangelist Brian McMahon in the Cloverdale Church in Boise, several other churches joined via livestream, and found that local audiences responded just as affirmatively as if the speaker was present at that location. In this short 13-minute video, participants in this collaborative project share what they learned. And, three of those who were baptized as a result of the final meetings tell about their life-changing decision.
