We had the pleasue of having Rico Tice with us in May to give the "Christianity Explored" course on Mark. Rico is the Pastor for Evangelism at All Souls Church, London, England. This is John R. W. Stott's church.
Rico was comissioned by John Stott to write a course on Evangelism some 15 years ago. There are a lot of issues in how we evangelize. Some emphatize the experience of the person, some decision, some the Spirit and others the Word. What creates new life in a person? This was the task Rico was given. He presented Mark's gospel as a tool for evangelism. Accoring to Rico Mark can be divided into tres parts: 1. Who is Jesus? What was Jesus' identity? 2. Why did Jesus come? What was his mission? 3. What was Jesus's call? How can we follow Jesus?
These talks are now being applied by several churches and in the student ministry to evangelize. We also presented Mark to the Univeristy students at the Leadership Training Encounter. Several became Christians as a result of the conferences.
