The Church Growth Ministry of BFCC seeks to equip
believers to effectively share the message of Jesus Christ to those
who are not actively following Him. 2008 marks the beginning of a
seven-week training course to be offered at BFCC at least twice a
year:
"Team Evangelism Training." This interactive course
highlights practical ways to build relationships and learn to
talk about our Forgiver and Leader, Jesus Christ, with both
relevance and honesty. Generally the course will be offered in the
spring and in the fall. We hope you'll take advantage of the
next sessions when the dates are announced.
Team Evangelism Training is about people working
together to share the good news of God’s message. Sharing effective resources can
help encourage and equip believers to greater teamwork. They can
also be invaluable in helping a friend to hear clearly God’s message. It’s about using “all possible means” to help your
friend become a follower of Jesus Christ. Below are some resources
we think are helpful, both for the continued training of believers, and for
directly communicating with those who are not yet following Jesus
Christ.
