Rev. Kevin Schultz (Coeur d’Alene, ID)

We wanted our new mission church to get off to a good start.  So we asked Dave Malnes of Praise & Proclaim Ministries to come and lead us in an outreach campaign in our community.  He trained our launch team how to go door-to-door and proclaim the gospel in a very simple way.  Then we put it into practice by actually going into our church neighborhood and doing it.  What a blessing this was for our launch team and for our new mission!  Not only did this campaign train our members how to share the gospel, but it also helped them to overcome their fears of witnessing.  In fact, three weeks later at our “End-of-Summer Fun Fest,” I watched as our launch team members continued to proclaim the gospel to the 200+ people from the community who attended the event.  I don’t think that kind of confidence would have been seen if it weren’t for the excellent training that Praise & Proclaim Ministries provided us.   (Rev.
