Mini ZOOM Trainings
Anna’s Circle offers a range of single-subject trainings for women who want to learn to become more effective in sharing their faith, but cannot commit to the full 12-session training just yet. These offerings are delivered online via ZOOM as well as in-person workshops. All trainings are designed to provide useful tools for sharing the Gospel that can be immediately put into practice.
How to Evaluate Someone’s Readiness to Hear the Gospel
Think about the people who you are praying for, spending time with, and desiring to share Jesus with. Are they ready to hear and receive the Good News about Jesus? We’ll teach you a new skill to help you know when someone is ready to hear and take that next step.

Proactively Creating a Plan to Share the Gospel
As God brings more people into your life who don’t know Him, preparation and planning are key to effectively sharing the Gospel. We’ll walk you through how to create a plan that gives you confidence and direction.

Prayer Walking
Prayer is the foundation for all we do and an incredibly powerful tool in the eyes of God. Prayer walks allow us to connect with God as we talk with Him in our neighborhoods. We’ll learn to pray specifically – asking God for opportunities to connect with those in our community who don’t know Jesus – and then watch as amazing things happen.

Facilitating Bible Studies for Seekers and Skeptics
Too often, we associate Bible studies as something only for fellow Christians. We will challenge that belief and demonstrate how an inductive Bible study is an extremely effective means of evangelism.

Gospel Conversation Starters

Inviting Someone to Say ‘Yes’ to Following Jesus
Perhaps we know WHAT to share, yet we get stuck on HOW to share the Good News about Jesus. Let’s discuss what it may look like to have a Spirit-led conversation that invites someone to say, “Yes!” to following Jesus.

Bridging the Gap to Your Church
One tool to share the Gospel from your training is connecting people with your church. Let’s review how to (and not to!) do this well as we hear some success stories in our time together.

Time of Prayer
Prayer is the foundation of everything we do at Anna’s Circle. As AC Alums, let’s come together in prayer for encouragement, direction, and supplication to the Lord of the Harvest.
