2,438 United Methodist clergy, laity, and youth recognized

For more than thirty years, The Foundation for Evangelism has been privileged to work with each Annual Conference in celebrating the outstanding personal evangelism and commitment to Offer Them Christ of United Methodist Clergy, Laity and Youth by sponsoring the prestigious Harry Denman Evangelism Award.  In fact, 2,438 individuals have been honored since 1980.  Think of the multiplying impact on the lives of others these folks have made through their outstanding efforts to help people experience God's transforming love through Jesus Christ!

 We are appreciative of your efforts as Annual Conference leaders to select exceptional people who possess a passion to help bring others into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.  Thank you for helping us to keep The United Methodist Church focused on Wesleyan evangelism!

The Foundation for Evangelism recognizes that the demands to prepare for Annual Conference grow each year and presentation time may be limited.  We strive to make the Harry Denman Evangelism Award process streamlined for your use.
