In our personal small group, I can't begin to tell you the impact it is having. To see people realize how truly important and "significant" they are in their workplace or their sphere of influence, just makes us smile. I have had people literally cry when they realized they didn't have to be in "church ministry" to be effective. It's life changing and by far in my opinion the best written curriculum we have done. I think the only complaints we have received is there is just too much great information. That's great!!!!
Mechanicsburg Brethren in Christ Church, (PA) The “Going Public with Your Faith” seminar served our church well. I appreciated the philosophy of evangelism that Bill and Walt presented. They emphasized that evangelism is a process, and cultivation is just as critical as harvesting. The seminar helped destroy the myth that evangelism is only for those gifted in evangelism. Our people were inspired and provided with simple handles for cultivating relationships with pre-Christians by serving them in Christ’s love.
Rolling Hills Covenant Church (CA) was very pleased to complete Going Public with Your Faith as a small group home study series and local outreach campaign. Following is a list of benefits experienced by the RHCC congregation through the series:
1. Process of presentation moved the listener step by step in an easy and logical learning sequence. This was very encouraging and a great benefit to the student.
2. Study included an excellent choice of Scripture in a contemporary setting for real life application. The teaching points were very adaptable to everyday life.
3. The series theme was a very well supported use of practical statistics and relevant charts.
4. Suggested responses in the leader’s guide were well-directed and very user friendly.
The final results were that many of the participants legitimately found the teaching liberating. They felt better about themselves by removing unnecessary guilt and legitimately felt more inclined to open up and share their love for Jesus.
What Participants Say
“I enjoyed the Going Public seminar. The message kept me on the edge of my seat, wondering what would be said next. I'm excited about reading the book and learning more.”
“The seminar was FABULOUS! Loved every minute. Going into it I thought it would be too long but the time flew. The presentation and the presenters were great. I would do the seminar again just to enjoy and hear it all again for reinforcement. Definitely motivating.”
“I very much enjoyed the seminar! I think this should be presented as a mini-series on Sunday morning. The entire congregation could benefit from it.”
“I felt the seminar was time well-spent. It was a comfortable way to learn more about bringing people to Christ. The mix of speakers, video, and PowerPoint kept the seminar varied and easy to follow.”
“I am more confident this week as I speak with others. I find myself occasionally mentioning God and watching to see their reaction. So far, it has been easy conversation, and I can now build on it.”
