Last night, January 29, 2025, a seminar on "Strategies for a Successful Evangelistic Effort" provided participants with practical insights on organizing and executing evangelistic crusades.
Keynote speaker Saturn Jay Tandayag delivered a presentation on "Public Evangelism: Preparing for an Evangelism Crusade," emphasizing the biblical foundation of evangelism, citing Matthew 28:19-20. He highlighted the importance of teamwork, outlining the roles of various teams in ensuring a well-organized and impactful event. A detailed venue layout was also presented to demonstrate how strategic planning enhances outreach efforts.
Tandayag concluded with a quote from Helen Keller: "Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much." The message reinforced the importance of unity in evangelism, leaving attendees inspired and motivated to apply their learnings in their communities.
The second night of the evangelistic seminar continued to equip department leaders with practical tools for effective ministry. Participants gathered to explore the finer details of organizing evangelistic crusades, with a strong focus on preparation and execution.
Tandayag led discussions on crucial topics such as pre-crusade planning, program structure, and maintaining proper decorum during evangelistic events. He emphasized the importance of pulpit etiquette and the organization of the message—both essential in delivering a clear, impactful, and God-honoring sermon. Throughout his talk, he reminded attendees that the ultimate purpose of every crusade is to glorify God and bring souls closer to Him.
He gave the audience a powerful reminder: "Serve wholeheartedly as if you were serving the Lord." Inspired by these words, the participants departed with a renewed commitment to their mission.
