Engaging in Gospel Conversations: How to Use Mormon Temple Open Houses to Share Jesus
A unique training opportunity with Pastor Mark Parsons!
Mormon temple open houses present an exceptional opportunity for Christians to engage in meaningful conversations about faith, sin, and the complete work of Christ. Whether you’re experienced or eager to witness for the first time, this training will equip and inspire you.
Here’s what you can expect:
- Understanding the Biblical Temple:
- Explore the Old Testament Tabernacle/Temple to learn profound lessons about sin, separation from God, and how every detail points powerfully to Jesus Christ, our perfect substitute.
- Insights into Mormon Temples:
- Gain clarity on the purpose, significance, and emotional impact of Mormon temples. Understand key Mormon teachings, including eternal families, proxy work, and temple ordinances.
- Practical Witnessing Strategies:
- Discover effective techniques for engaging respectfully and thoughtfully with Mormon missionaries, temple volunteers, and attendees, using the O.I.L.S. method: Observe, Invite, Listen, and Share.
- (We will enjoy a potluck dinner during the training.)
- Hands-On Experience
- At 6:30 pm, we’ll head to the Farmington New Mexico Temple, located at 4400 College Boulevard, Farmington, NM 87402, for a guided open house tour, followed by live opportunities to practice your witnessing skills on temple grounds.
- Afterward, we’ll head back to church for a discussion and debrief about our experiences.
Who Should Attend?
