Why the Church Exists: The Mission of Evangelization

Father Min

This is the first night of a Lenten Mission, focusing on evangelization and personal encounters with Christ. The speaker, Bob Schrimpf, shares his personal journey into youth ministry and his understanding of the Church's primary mission to evangelize, drawing heavily on the story of Cleopas on the Road to Emmaus as a model for accompaniment and sharing faith. He emphasizes the importance of listening and personal witness over divisive rhetoric, and hints at deeper, more challenging stories to be shared on the following night.
