The Turn-it-Around Evangelistic Series Results in 25 New Converts
The Bridgeland Seventh-day Adventist Church in Calgary, Alberta recently concluded the Turn-it-Around evangelistic series, a two-week reaping campaign held September 12–26. The series featured guest evangelist Pastor Lerianno Webster, Youth and ADRA Director for the North Caribbean Conference of Seventh-day Adventists.
The campaign marked the culmination of a four-part evangelistic initiative designed to reach the community, nurture spiritual growth, and lead individuals into a saving relationship with Jesus Christ.
The journey began with in-home small group Bible studies, providing opportunities for individuals to explore Scripture, build meaningful relationships, and grow in faith. This was followed by community outreach initiatives—including the church’s Calgary Stampede outreach, which helped strengthen connections with the wider Calgary community. Youth and young adults also played an important role, demonstrating Christ’s love through service and community engagement.
These initiatives laid the groundwork for the September reaping campaign, during which Pastor Webster shared messages calling individuals to faith, biblical truth, and a deeper commitment to Jesus Christ.
The results were cause for celebration: 25 individuals joined the Bridgeland Seventh-day Adventist Church, reflecting the fruit of sustained evangelistic efforts, community outreach, Bible study, and the collective commitment of church members to sharing the gospel.
The series was hosted by Pastor Recardo Thompson, Associate Pastor and Youth Pastor, alongside Pastor Terrence Farrell, Senior Pastor. Together with ministry leaders, volunteers, and church members, they helped facilitate an initiative that extended beyond the pulpit and into the community.
The Turn-it-Around evangelistic series demonstrates Bridgeland’s commitment to a comprehensive approach to evangelism—one that begins with personal relationships and community service, continues through Bible study and spiritual preparation, and culminates in opportunities for individuals to respond to the call of Jesus Christ.
As the church celebrates these 25 new members, its focus now turns to continued spiritual nurture, discipleship, and integration into the life and mission of the congregation. The desire is not simply to welcome new members, but to help each person develop a lasting relationship with Christ and become an active participant in sharing the everlasting gospel.
From small-group Bible studies to community service and public evangelism, The Turn-it-Around evangelistic series stands as a testimony to the power of intentional outreach and the transforming grace of Jesus Christ.
