Olney, IL Gospel Conversation Training | July 11, 2026
We had the opportunity to host our first Gospel Conversation Training at the O₂ since opening in April, and what an incredible experience it was! We had people attend from throughout the area, including some who traveled from as far away as Lovington and Arthur, Illinois.
After being equipped with practical tools in the morning, participants went out shortly after lunch for hands-on experience having gospel conversations with people in the community.
Our favorite part is always when everyone returns to share harvest stories and simple acts of obedience. The stories often include incredible God encounters as well as moments of rejection. Yet even in the face of rejection, such joy radiates from those who stepped out in faith.
One of the highlights of this training involved four women in particular: three teenagers and one adult. The teenagers were already looking forward to the next training and were excited to return to the harvest and continue sharing their faith. The adult was eager to take what she had learned and share the training with her students at school.
Something comes alive in a person when they step out in obedience.
We have seen this happen time and time again.
