Question 3

Afternoon Experience - Saturday June 28, 2025

Accepted Answer

Location: Scarborough Town Centre (https://maps.app.goo.gl/AWopPxQ3idSzzM3k8)

On-site Contact: N/A

Afternoon Experience: Today you are going to be sharing the Gospel with people at Scarborough Town Centre (also known as STC). Located in the heart of Toronto, STC is a great location for striking up a conversation and sharing the love of Christ with a diverse crowd of many different backgrounds.

Theme: Our theme today is SHARING. Sharing our faith means first sharing our lives and investing in the lives of others too; authentically caring for them. Ask Jesus to give you wisdom and courage today as you SHARE and interact with others. Pray that God would prepare the way for you to have real conversations about faith with people who you meet today. Sometimes we share through your actions, like earlier in the week, today you may have the chance to share your story of faith and the truth of the GOSPEL with people…take every opportunity!

Pray as a group that God would use your group to speak truth and life into the people you meet today. Some may be believers, others might not, but don’t be afraid to engage people in conversation. It might be as simple as asking someone how you can pray for them!
