AE504‒ Practical Evangelism: Description
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Equipped with the facts of apologetics, how do we effectively share the gospel? Do we simply flaunt our logic and brilliance which defies reasoning? Need we develop loving relationships through years of contact, hoping they will eventually become curious and ask about our faith? These methods work on occasion, but are there more strategic approaches?
Because this topic is so important to countless souls, we utilize two textbooks revisiting evangelism by providing insight and methods demonstrated as effective by passionate and experienced soul-winners.
Expect the Holy Spirit to show up as you utilize what you learn. The culmination of the course is found in the soul-winning encounters, practical experience and resulting testimonies.
