Do you feel like you don’t have the courage to share Christ?

 

 Maybe you are just having a hard time Communicating the Gospel because you feel that you don’t know enough. You feel like you need to be an expert in apologetics before you can share your faith. Maybe you are afraid someone will ask you a question that you won’t have the answer too! Maybe you are just fearful of how people will act or respond when you tell them about Christ. Maybe you have been a Christian for many years and have never shared your faith. Well this is the course for you!

 

The Good Messengers Ministries of NWI Inc. is proud to offer our “Communicating the Gospel” Basic Gospel Principles 101 Course for the 10th year. This course is Biblically based, and is specially formatted to train believers in a group setting to simply and confidently share the gospel with family, friends and strangers. This course is open to any believing Christian…men, women, and teens.  Bring a spouse, family member or friend. Bring a spouse, family member or friend. We have included lessons on "What is and isn't Necessarily Evangelism", "What is the Gospel", "What is the Importance of Repentance & Faith", and so much more.

This eight lesson course will teach you to overcome you fears, and help you to share with others a gospel message that makes sense. You will not be at a loss for words. You do not need to be an expert in apologetics. We will show you the process of contextualizing the Biblical message of the missionary mandate originated, given and commanded by Jesus. What we teach is NOT some new found method but rather we show you how Jesus evangelized in the Bible and show you how to use those principles in your witnessing conversations. It's not about a "Presentation," its about a "Conversation." 

We will show some DVD's that will show you through fascinating on-the-street- conversations how to witness. Weekly homework assignments will gradually coax, you, step-by-step, out of your comfort zone to reach your loved ones for Christ. You will be inspired and motivated as you learn, watch, and then do. Like countless others who have taken this course, you will be amazed at how using the Biblical Principles that Jesus gave us… will transform your life – and the lives of others. More importantly it will help you “Communicate the Gospel” more effectively. Our instructors don't just teach it...they use these "Biblical Principles" themselves in witnessing conversations.  We at Good Messengers Ministries of NWI Inc. don’t believe in fancy, modern gospel presentations but rather we will show you how to engage a culture in a conversation…"COMMUNICATING THE GOSPEL" of Jesus Christ!

Click on the link above to go to the Online 

Course. This web page is designed for those 

who are already taking the Basic Evangelism  

Course or who have and need a 

refresher course. We recommend using 

this link if you miss a class, need 

missing handouts or you want to 

refresh yourself with the teaching. 

It is recommended that if you are currently 

taking the Basic Evangelism 

Course that you only watch course lessons 

that you have missed and don't go 

ahead of your current lesson. Although this 

course can be used for 

individual study, it is ideally suited for use 

in small and large groups 

Evangelism can seem fearful and 

intimidating, and a group setting can 

provide the needed encouragement and 

accountability.
