Course Description:
In order to serve/lead a congregation in evangelism and outreach, you will need to be able to develop relationships, initiate Bible studies, conduct Bible studies, answer questions, overcome objections and involve Bible students and converts in the local congregation as possible. It is intended that you receive instruction and tools to use in being an effective evangelist. It is understood that we all have different gifts and levels of giftedness, and some may find talking to others and setting up studies as easier for some than others. This doesn't take away form the biblical mandate to "go and make disciples" or "seek and save the lost". This is an essential skill and we will work on developing it together.
We've worked together to discuss the basics of soulwinning. We will continue learning to share the good news with others but will also focus on how you can lead a congregational effort to seek and save the lost in your community. Our discussion will center around 12 essentials to having a growth oriented congregation. These 12 elements are all keys to being a growing congregation and doesn't require programs or extensive instruction. These are the things from Scripture that lead to a wholesome, genuine growth. This will be a primary focus of our time together.
