ACTS II EVANGELIZATION TRAINING


TRAINEE'S COMMITMENT



THE ONLINE ACTS II EVANGELIZATION TRAINING

TRAINEE'S COMMITMENT


You will be embarking on a serious study of how to evangelize and bring others to the saving grace of God. You will learn how to systematically bring another to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. The requirement for this study is a personal desire to first evangelize yourself! Your commitment to completing this study may at times waver. It is at these times you must call upon the Holy Spirit, in prayer, to encourage you to continue. Often, this is a result of not having made the already covered material "your own". It may be necessary to review, and review again, the material in each session.

You are encouraged have a "Prayer Partner". Both of you would proceed through the study together.


It would be very beneficial to you if you could get a friend to go through this training with you. However, if that is not possible, it will not prevent you from completing the training yourself.

You must be willing to make the changes necessary in your busy time schedule to enable you to fulfill the time requirements of the online ACTS II Evangelization Training. You commit to:
  • A faithful completion of each training session. It is recommended you try to complete each session on a weekly basis.

  • If, for a serious reason, you are unable to complete the training session within a timely manner, you should contact us, stating that you will be taking additional time to complete that particular training session.

  • Meet with your prayer partner at the times assigned. (Either face to face, by phone, or in an online manner acceptable to the both of you.)

  • It is expected that a trainee will not attest to a completed task until (s)he has "made the material their own".

*** ATTENTION ***


It is highly recommended you have a friend, a "prayer partner", willing to participate in the online training with you. This person can be a spouse, a friend, or another member of your parish. He/She will act as a prayer partner and general support. He/She will also be required to faithfully complete all the materials of the ACTS II training process.

To be an effective evangelizer, you NEED to know this material frontwards and backwards. It is up to you to make sure you have a succinct understanding of the material in each session.

If you do not "make each session your own", so that you have it at your fingertips, at some point you will be less able to explain your faith to others..

The world has an urgent need for well trained evangelizers who can speak intelligently about their faith. This is impossible unless you do what has been stated above.

The outcome of this training should result in trained evangelizers who have a fervor and zeal to bring others to Jesus. These are the qualities that characterize an effective evangelizer!
