Evangelism and Evangelism Internship

I will be teaching Evangelism the first semester in the morning session for eSOM as an adjunct instructor of WBC. I am very excited. I have come to accept that as an eikon of God one of my purposes that God has given me and one of the few that ALL Christians share is that I must be evangelistic in life. The main textbook is "The Art of Personal Evangelism" and the second book is by Bill Hybels, "Just Walk Across The Room". I have heard that Bill Hybels book leaves out some important aspects of evangelism. I think

Another class that is complete parallel to this one is the Evangelism Internship that is 3 credits. This will be a great resource as a requirement for eSOM. We will be using our Causes as the main substructure. Currently 6 of our 7 Causes are already intern lead. The only one that isn't lead by an intern is our Special Needs Cause and that is lead by an amazing leader, Alice. Each Cause is evangelistic in it's approach through loving in action selflessly. Each of the leaders organize events for each of the Cause and meet with students at the events. I will be meeting with them in the first session of their Evangelism class to discuss what the internship will consist of and how to build their portfolio that will be required. I will help them figure out how to plan over the year to be building the portfolio. It will be a great semester as an opener.

Finalizing Detail Meeting

I met today with Barb Schulz, the president at Western Bible College, Ray Schulz, her husband and instructor for WBC, and Rick Oller who is a pastor and Dean of Students for WBC. We finalized all the details for this coming spring semester for ESOM.

We got all the classes laid out for the Spring semester '09. Looks like I will be teaching PS213 Evangelism from 830a-12p. The first half hour will be our chapel service. Then from 1-430p will be BI103 Bible Study Methodology, and that will be lead by Rick Oller. These classes will be 7 weeks, then we will start Spring II. The classes will be Acts by Ray Schulz and Synoptic Gospels by Pastor Wendall Clark.

We set up our Orientation night for Thursday, January 8th at 7p where we will have finger food and drinks. I have invited the president, faculty, administrator of WBC, then students and their parents and some RMCC staff. That night the students will fill out all their paperwork and register and begin the future!
