ACTS II Training Commitment
ACTS II: CONVERSION, PROCLAMATION, COMMUNITY
TRAINEE'S COMMITMENT
You will be embarking on a
serious study of how to evangelize and bring others to the saving
grace of God. "A serious preparation is needed for all workers for evangelization"
(Evangelization in the Modern World, n. 73).You will learn how to systematically bring another to a personal
relationship with Jesus Christ.
HOWEVER, this requires that you do the training as designed and this includes completing all required tasks including answering
all study guide questions for each study session. You will not be able to move on until these tasks are completed.
The world is in need of the Lord Jesus and we are looking for trainees whose desire is to bring persons to Jesus Christ. That is
the purpose of the training -- to enable those who go through this training to do just that.
DO NOT SIGN UP if you do not intend to do the training as designed.
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 that 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 to invite a friend to take the training with you so 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 taking the training yourself.
Regardless,
you will need a friend to pray for you and you for him or her in the Life in the Spirit Retreat Weekend.
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 are committing to:
-
Arranging your schedule so as to complete each session weekly or, at most, within
two-weeks. The training takes approximately 5 months to complete if each session
is done done on a weekly basis OR ten months to complete if each session
is done within a two-week period.
- A faithful completion of each training session. It is required that you complete each session on a weekly, or
at most, within a two-week period.
*** ATTENTION ***
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!
