July 31 | 7:00 – 9:00 PM
Hillcrest Baptist Church, Hamilton

With Michael Bird – Author, New Testament Scholar, Historian & Theologian
And Karl Faase – Encounter Host & CEO of Olive Tree Media

Join us for a powerful evening exploring the lives of people who encountered Jesus—both in the pages of Scripture and in the world today.

Hosted by Karl Faase, this event draws from the Encounter video series, featuring rich storytelling and historical insights from Dr. Michael Bird. Together, they’ll unpack how Jesus brought healing, purpose, and transformation to people on the margins—truth seekers, the broken, and the spiritually hungry—and how He continues to meet people today in unexpected ways.

Whether you’re curious about faith, seeking encouragement, or wanting to grow deeper in your understanding of Jesus, this evening will both inspire and equip you.

All are welcome!
