The Luis Palau Association, Gloo, and He Gets Us have launched a free, first-of-its-kind Evangelism Masterclass for Christ followers across the US.
The Luis Palau Association has been working in collaborative partnership with the Church for more than 60 years. They aim to give every person on the earth a chance to receive the Good News of Jesus Christ—always working with, through, and for the local church.
Based in Portland, Oregon, LPA’s 60 years of experience in cities across the United States has revealed that despite church leaders believing in the existential priority of evangelism, few believe that their church’s Gospel-sharing efforts are bearing fruit. They are asking for help.
Engaging Culture: an Evangelism Masterclass
In the wake of outreach momentum created by the He Gets Us movement, Kevin Palau and missiologist Ed Stetzer saw a strategic opportunity to galvanize the Church through a first-ever Evangelism Masterclass.
The online platform known as Gloo and the ‘He Gets Us’ campaign invited the Luis Palau Association to bring together the brightest voices in evangelism to create the Masterclass.
Through He Gets Us, over 40,000 churches in the USA have joined an online platform that connects spiritually curious people with local churches and provides resources to equip these churches as well.
Each of the eight video sessions in the Evangelism Masterclass course, hosted by Kevin Palau (President of The Luis Palau Association) and Ed Stetzer (dean of the Talbot School of Theology at Biola University) runs approximately 25 minutes long, delivering expert knowledge made accessible by 18 key evangelistic leaders.
Share Engaging Culture: an Evangelism Masterclass is intentionally crafted for versatility: to be used in small groups, with leaders and staff, or by individuals. Practical application guides are included to help foster group discussion, moving participants, through Jesus’ compassion, into tangible, culturally informed evangelistic action.
“This course challenges Christ-followers to reconnect with God-given compassion that may have been eroded by weariness, cynicism, or defensiveness,” says Kevin Palau. He emphasizes that this series diverges from most evangelism training: “We’re not asking people to ‘just be bold’ or muscle their way into sharing the Gospel in an inauthentic, uncomfortable way. It’s all anchored in the life of Jesus, and that’s why it has the potential to usher the American Church into an evangelistic way of being that is the unstoppable outflow of a life centered in Christ’s compassionate love—not just feeling it, but translating into Gospel-sharing action.”
Ed Stetzer shared, “This Evangelism Masterclass features an incredible lineup of teachers and facilitators that not only speak about evangelism but put it into action everywhere they go.”
Featured leaders in the Evangelism Masterclass include Christine Caine, Mark Mittelberg, Lisa Fields, Tyler Staton, Andrew and Wendy Palau, Rebecca McLaughlin, and others.
Within each episode, a keynote speaker leads the way in addressing common cultural barriers to evangelism and reveals the opportunities God has given us within those same challenges. Then, Ed and Kevin host rubber-meets-the-road conversations with vocational ministry leaders to better understand how Gospel sharing plays out in everyday life. As each episode draws to a close, viewers receive a practical challenge to engage culture in their own lives.
