This first course is designed to help believers see that the great commission is not an impossible task. On the contrary, it can be fulfilled in just a few years. In these four sessions you will begin to understand that reaching the world for Christ can be accomplished in a single generation. After successfully completing this course, there should be an intense desire to complete the other three. COURSE TWO: AN APPROACH TO EVANGELISM In this six session experience the student will learn the information one needs to understand in order to introduce someone to Christ and how to present the five initial discipleship steps, one on one, in order to help the new believer begin a walk with God. This is the 'how to' portion of evangelism training. Introducing people to Christ is not difficult; any believer can learn to do it COURSE THREE: ATTITUDES MAKE A DIFFERENCE In this study we look at the nine attitudes Jesus shared at the very beginning of His training in Matthew 5. These nine attitudes (Beatitudes) are the very first recorded lessons from the Savior when He gathered His disciples around Him, after He saw the multitudes He loved (Matthew 5:1). Attitudes are important because they set the atmosphere for successful communication. Through this course the student is constantly challenged to evaluate just how each attitude can enhance his/her effectiveness in sharing the good news of the Gospel. The focus in this course is holiness, the Christian life and obedience to Christ. COURSE FOUR: FROM CONVERT TO DISCIPLE The information in this course is vital to completing the "Great Commission." Too often when an individual accepts Christ as Savior we rejoice (which we should), put them in a place where they can learn to 'live the life' and consider them to be a 'disciple'. This course begins by defining the word 'disciple' to mean what Jesus meant for it to mean when He gave His instructions in Matthew 28:19-20. When we make a 'convert' we only add to the church. When we teach the convert to lead others to Christ and then to teach the 'others' to do the same we multiply and after completing courses one, two and three, the student will have a clear understanding of the difference Upon completing the four courses the student should be ready to teach the material to others and is ready to introduce another to Christ, form a small group and with the help of the church, lead three or more new people into becoming true disciples, ready to reach others for the Lord, thus beginning the multiplication process
