    #9 | Evangelism During Hard Times | Phillip Jensen

    Phillip's a Bible teacher and Evangelist with Two Ways Ministries. He both models and trains others in preaching the gospel by teaching the Bible. Phillip’s the former Dean of St Andrew's cathedral in Sydney, and former Anglican chaplain at the University of New South Wales. Many of us evangelicals have been influenced by his sermons and books over the years. It was my privilege to have him on the podcast, as I asked him questions about evangelism. Telling people about Jesus seems like an increasingly hard thing to do in our secular culture. Yet Phillip brings a wealth of experience in this area of ministry. I was greatly helped by him. I hope you are too.
