How (and Why) to Evangelize Friends and Family Who Have Fallen Away

Why is sharing our faith with the people closest to us sometimes the most difficult thing to do? We want the people we love to know the person we love: Jesus. However, conversations about faith are often taboo especially if our family or friends are fallen away Catholics. So how do we evangelize those who are closest to our hearts?

Andre Regnier, a missionary with Catholic Christian Outreach, Canada’s version of FOCUS, brings his years of experience to bear on this question. He will encourage you to have thise faith conversations, and he will give you the tools to do so. His best piece of advice? Never underestimate the importance of a clear and simple invitation to follow Jesus.
