SHARE JESUS WITHOUT FEAR

This is used to train you to share the gospel very simply and easily using your New Testament. It teaches you how to ask a few diagnostic questions and then take the individual through seven verses.

NINE HABITS OF A CHURCH THAT REACH AND KEEP THE UNCHURCHED

1 Hour Workshop

The concepts of this workshop are taken from Thom Rainers book "Surprising Insights from the Unchurched".

The thing that makes this session unique is that all the material is from people who have already been reached with the Gospel.

PRAYER

1 hour, or it could be a 3 hour workshop!

Prayer is the key to growing the Kingdom of God here on this earth. Prayer is not easy because the "Enemy" does not want us to humble ourselves and ask God for help.
