1. To facilitate personal conversion.
2. To equip individual Catholic men and women with a practical "know how" approach to evangelization with an emphasis on one-to-one relationships.

It is out of the deep conviction that each of us can only give what we ourselves have, that the CETC has taken a particular approach in its training for the NEW evangelization.

What our Catholic people need is a deep personal relationship with Jesus and the desire and ability to share Him with others. For our people to be evangelizers, they need to deepen their relationship with the Lord and their life in the Spirit.

From the Bible, we see the Master's plan and strategy.

First, He selected a few.

• developed friendship with them,
• evangelized them,
• trained them,
• sent them out, and then
• supervised them.

Lastly,

• He entrusted to them the mission that He Himself had undertaken, and then empowered them to carry it out effectively through the power of the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:8).

The online ACTS II Evangelization Training is an attempt to do the same.


By discovering

• the richness of the Good News of Jesus Christ and personal conversion.

By learning how

• to give the Gospel Proclamation.
• to express your own personal witness to the Lord Jesus simply and directly.
• to minister to all who are in need of evangelization: your family, friends, strangers, the alienated/inactive Catholic, the unchurched.

The ACTS II Evangelization Training online enables the trainee to acquire the tools and skills of how to share one's faith based on the Scriptures; how to talk about Jesus without turning people off and doing this in accord with the Catholic tradition. How we, as Catholics, approach the Scriptures, how the Bible came to be, and much more; giving and receiving support, encouragement and nurturing within the small groups that form within the NEW Evangelization training; growing in one's relationship with the Lord as one progresses in the training; studying some of the Church documents and the R.C.I.A.



For many years the ACTS II Evangelization Training has been applied only in a setting of personalized training face to face, directed by a trainer in front of several persons, given on a regular time schedule, at a predetermined place. Of course, this type of training, done face to face, is very effective but also limited in participants and trainers.

It is our hope that we may bring the ACTS II Process to a wider audience through the World Wide Web and therefore better achieve our goals.

We have learned much in preparing our materials for presentation on the Internet. We are relatively certain we have not gotten everything right. It is our hope and prayer that the online version of the ACTS II Evangelization Training, will become a successful and reliable resource for all peoples everywhere.
