A Different Type of Evangelist

I've been listening to some sermons from the Timothy Conference, held in Toronto over the Christmas/New Years holidays last year. I started with the keynote messages by Dr. John Lennox. The ministry he presents is somewhat different, but I guess that is to be expected from a man who is a Research Fellow in Mathematics at Oxford, and who holds 3 doctorate degrees - DPhil (Oxford) PhD (Cambridge) DSc (Wales).

I believe by gift and calling, he is an evangelist, but the way he spread the Good News is most interesting, since his knowledge of philosophy (and languages) allows him to talk to a lot of people that most of us would not get a chance to talk to (and people who would not listen to us). His ministry is similar to that of Ravi Zacharias or C.S. Lewis. Dr. John Patrick from Ottawa also has a similar type of ministry (http://www.johnpatrick.ca/). Anyway, if you get a chance to listen to some of the ministry John Lennox gives, you will likely enjoy it.
