The Secret to Finding GREAT People to Serve in Ministry

Image
Ever notice that Jesus didn't spend much time trying to attract "superstars"? Jesus DID, however, invest his life in training regular (and irregular) folks... who, by the way, after they were trained , "turned the world upside down." Yet, instead of investing in the training of people under our nose (like Jesus), we seem to be on a perpetual search for the superstar who will come in and save the day. Instead of investing in a 2 Timothy 2:2 and Ephesians 4:11-12 approach to training others, we squander our limited time tryin to attract homerun hitters--even though we all know that homerun hitters strike out much more often than they actually hit home runs.

Evangelism for Non-Evangelists

Image
What if sharing your faith in Jesus Christ was as simple as praying, loving, speaking, and sharing? In Cadre's  Evangelism Is Relationships  training experience, you will learn to live a simple, Jesus-based approach for helping your family and friends find and follow Jesus. Session 1 Pray iNTERCEDE .  The first step in helping your friends find and follow Jesus is not talking to them about Jesus. The first step is talking to Jesus about your friends. Session 2   Love iNVEST.  The natural result of connecting with God's heart is a desire to love people with God's love. We will explore how Jesus intentionally befriended those in his relational sphere of influence—and how we can follow His example. Session 3   Speak iNTERSECT.  We'll explore how Jesus brought God's truth  and  grace to people in His relational sphere of influence. Then, taking our cues from Jesus, we'll explore how to bring God's truth  and  grace to those in our rela...
