This week we sit down with Deacon Ralph Poyo and dive into evangelization in the church. He is the founder of New Evangelization Ministries. Many times when we hear the word evangelization we immediately go to programming, events, books, etc. Deacon Ralph is a fresh voice in our church today, challenging this norm with out of the box thinking. He is preaching and coaching the faithful to stretch themselves into discipleship in the day to day. Deacon Ralph does this for a living y’all! Let’s get equipped together to further the kingdom!
With New Evangelization Ministries, Deacon Ralph seeks to help parishes become agents of self-evangelization, so that the first fruits of their catechetical programs is that of putting their parishioners “not only in touch but in communion, in intimacy, with Jesus Christ…” (Pope John Paul II, Catechesi Tradendae, para. 5).
His methods of evangelization model the personal, one-on-one style of Our Lord; Jesus preached to the multitude, but focused even more time and energy on “the Twelve,” preparing them to spearhead the ministry of evangelization after His passing. Armed with this knowledge and over twenty years of experience, Deacon Ralph is being sent to teach others how to become evangelists – how to bring others to Jesus and then get out of the way!
