The Master Plan of Evangelism

The time spent Wednesday and Thursday in class was unforgettable. My cohort was taught by Dr. Robert Coleman. If you don’t know that name, you should. Dr. Coleman has been a mentor of mine from afar since 2000. This week, I got to thank him for that face to face. Dr. Coleman wrote a book …
