Seminars and Workshops: Manchester, Grande Prairie and Olds

Worldview Rethink Course Demonstration

Any regular believer can guide a friend accurately and clearly through the gospel. There is no need to be theologically trained, a good orator or even an experienced Bible study leader.

This three-day seminar is designed to train participants how to conduct worldview evangelism with anyone they may know. The approach to learning is “as you are taught, so you will teach,” meaning the participants will experience an entire overview of the Bible’s message while learning how to teach it themselves.

Don’t waste Easter!

 

Easter Presentation

Easter is one of the most appropriate times for sharing the gospel. While TV commercials feature Easter bunnies and children hunting for chocolate eggs, frequently friends, co-workers and acquaintances wonder what Easter is really all about. This gives you the natural opportunity to share the true meaning of Easter.

Consider these ideas:

I don’t know what to say!

You spotted an opportunity to share the gospel. You have a book to give and you’re ready. But what do you say? How do you broach the topic? Learn what you can say in these situations.

I don't know what to say!

Paul said to Jill, the waitress for his table, “Thank you so much for taking care of me today. I’ve really enjoyed chatting with you and I’d like to thank you by giving you a book. It’s about the Bible and it explains it from A to Z in an objective, non-arm-twisting manner. It really helped me understand what the Bible is all about and I’d like you to have this copy.”

Jill took the book and broke into a wide smile, “Oh, what a surprise. Thank you! I’ll read this book!”

Consider this your personal ministry

“I am an ambassador-homemaker. I have young children. I cook, clean, help with homework and bring the kids to school. Wherever I go, I am on the lookout for how I can share the gospel with others. I plan for my day as a homemaker by setting aside time and budget to manage my household well. I plan for my day as an ambassador by setting aside time and budget to make sure I am ready at all times to share the gospel whether by giving away a gospel resource or sitting down and guiding someone through the Bible.”

You may be a homemaker, young mum, executive in a large firm, mechanic or a student. But you are also an Ambassador for Christ. It’s one thing to just acknowledge we have this job. It’s quite another to be deliberately and intentionally getting ready to do this job well. But how do we become good ambassadors? Here are five steps.

Excuse me, Ambassador, someone wants to meet you!

You are an ambassador for Christ

For many of us, there is little that is more frightening than to hear Jesus say in Mark 16:15, “As you go into all the world, proclaim the gospel to everyone.”

The thought of sharing the gospel can be truly petrifying. “How do I do it? What do I say? What if they outright reject me? What if they ask something and I don’t know how to respond? Do we even have a right to do this? Is it really MY role? There are those who can do this so much better than me… I should just let them do it.”

Here’s short but heartwarming story we received from Sheffield.

My husband and I lead the International Ministry at our church here in Sheffield. We reach those from other countries who have come to Sheffield to either study or live.

We are planning on using The Stranger on the Road to Emmaus with our group as part of our teaching plan. At the moment we have eight Internationals with us plus twelve people in our team.

I thought I was ready, but I wasn’t

(This post is part of our “Give away the gospel” series.)

One day during the course of his daily routine, Tim* came across a man along the street and they struck up a conversation. As they chatted, Tim learned that the man was “religious” and that he enjoyed reading books. A light went on in Tim’s mind—this man would be interested in reading a book about the Bible! Tim asked the homeless man to wait and hurried back to his car to get the copy of By This Name that he knew was on the back deck of the rear window. To his surprise, the book wasn’t there! Then he recalled that he had already given it away. Now he didn’t have anything to give to the man and the opportunity to share the Gospel with this homeless man was lost.
