Steve Hughes, Instructor
A proposal has been submitted to the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor for the PCRE class to be offered in 2009.
Why should I take this course?
Answer The Following Questions:
How many non-Christians friends do you hang out with on a regular basis?
What would you say to someone who said, "Why would I follow a God who uses genocide?"
How does formula faith or "the four spiritual laws" approach to evangelism relate to what Jesus did and taught?
Is Jesus seeking after someone's decision or is He looking for disciples?
If the way of "doing church" today is correct than why is Christianity the last option a person will consider in their spiritual search?
How would you respond to a Christian who says, "I use drugs to get closer to God" or "I used to be a Christian, but now I have questions."
Can you explain to someone how to become a Christian without using an outline or formula, sharing instead a story about something Jesus said or did?
If the statements above interest you, if you would like to learn how to have a "real conversation" with someone about their spiritual beliefs, if you want to know how authentic relationships can guide a friend to Christ; If so then this class would be great for you! Also, you might enjoy camping and hiking in the Pecos Wilderness Area or Big Bend National Park!!
An understanding of the Biblical template for relational evangelism and how that is expressed within our postChristian culture. Discussion of how relationship skills are crucial in a postChristian setting for ministry and evangelism. An introduction to postChristian conversation skills needed to share the message of Christ to the unchurched, dechurched, and wounded Christians in our community.
After the course is approved specific dates, locations, a syllabus and other important information will be posted.
