Ev Roth shares her story about how she helped with an outreach dinner hosted by Jack and Carol Klemke:
In Edmonton, we had outreach dinners in a hotel once a month. It was a lot of work getting all those invitations (up to 600) mailed out and hand-addressed! After the event, Jack and Carol started having follow-up dinners in their home, and they invited people who had indicated some interest on their comment card from the outreach dinner. They had either wanted to receive Christ or get more information. There would be up to twenty people at the follow-up dinners.
After the dinner, we’d get away from the table and Jack would say something to encourage individuals, sharing, about where they were, spiritually. Someone who knew how to share their testimony would start and then they’d just go around the circle. People started being very, very open! From that, Carol and I would do our women’s Bible study. We would invite women that she knew through the dinners or had connected with through the follow-up dinners.
