Building Evangelizing Eucharistic Communities
Recently I presented, The Building Evangelizing Eucharistic Communities (BEEC) seminar for the Diocese of Corpus Christi, Texas. I was very encouraged by the participants comments during the seminar and later in reading the evaluations of those who participated. A number of people expressed that during the seminar they were able to encounter the Lord Jesus’ heart for the lost, and how much he wants us to have that same compassion and willingness to reach out to them.
During the seminar their are four talks, times of small group discussions, prayer times and, concluding response by the whole group. BEEC gives the people who attend the vision of the Lord’s heart for those who are apart from him and, his missionary mandate to us his Church's to seek and save the lost (just like Him)! The seminar also presents the need for us to personally be evangelized to the Lordship of Christ, and to actualize the grace of the sacraments of initiation in order to live fully in the Holy Spirit . We then teach and discuss some of the elements to help each of us and our parishes get more practically engaged in the mission of our Redeemer!
I have been personally encouraged every time we have presented this seminar with the way it helps communicate the mission of the Church and the clear response and commitment of the participants to personally and together enter into the mission! It is not simply about information but about the impartation of the Holy Spirit who is the essential agent of evangelization.
Some evaluation comments from the seminar in Corpus Christi:
The presenter, Dave Nodar, presented this course in a concise and clear manner. He is entertaining and informative at the same time, I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this seminar. It was well organized and presented as such; Awesome job! This seminar was exactly what I needed! God Bless you Dave for your witness, your sharing, your challenging us; Make the Seminar available to more people!
If you think your parish or diocese would like to sponsor the seminar, please contact me for information, or go to: http://christlife.org/aboutus/BEEC.html
