 Got Evangelism?
Billy Graham called Harry Denman "one of the great mentors for evangelism". Denman believed in giving away as much as he could to others, and was an early author/publisher of The Upper Room.
The Harry Denman Award honors United Methodists who exhibit unusual and outstanding efforts in the
work of Christian Evangelism. The award draws attention to evangelism by honoring one clergy
person, one lay person and one youth member who are reaching others effectively for
Christ.
Nominations for the Harry Denman Award are due April 1.
