This Ministry Skills Stream aims to help participants to (1) engage as evangelists in training, and (2) as people who can act within the life of the Anglican Church as catalysts for evangelism and as leaders of local evangelism projects.

On completion of this Ministry Skills Stream participants will be able to:

As an evangelist:

  • Outline their own journey of faith in such a way that it commends faith in Jesus Christ and a life within the Church to others;
  • Provide an account of some of the key areas of Christian believing, and (1) be able to describe some objections from others to Christian faith, (2) be able to offer some responses to the objections;
  • Name some of the resources available to assist them in their work of evangelism.

-

As a catalyst for, and leader of local evangelism:

  • Describe some understandings from the breadth of approaches to mission and evangelism in the Anglican Church;
  • Describe a range of evangelistic methods, and evaluate the appropriateness of different methods in different situations;
  • Develop strategies for commending the work of evangelism to members of the parish;
  • Develop a realistic and focused evangelistic project suitable for their local parish.
