NEW SCHOOL OF EQUIPPING & MINISTRY CLASS - 4 SESSIONS

Beginning Monday night, June 6th at 6:30 p.m. our School of Ministry will be offering a 4 week dynamic video-drive course entitled, SHARE JESUS WITHOUT FEAR. This class will be facilitated by Tina Kasmeier. There will be a sign-up area in the Commons area beginning this Sunday. We need to know who is coming in order to purchase the curriculum necessary. Cost will be $15 per person for the entire 4 weeks. This course will teach you how to effectively use the Scripture, follow the Holy Spirit, and share Christ and His love with others.

Here is a link to a brief video of some testimonies from people who have taken the course:
SHARE JESUS WITHOUT FEAR VIDEO TESTIMONIES

Here is a bit more about the course and its history:

In recent years, the Share Jesus without Fear book and its growing family of ancillary products have sparked a faith-sharing movement that continues to gain momentum. It began with the jaw-dropping story of William Fay, once a money-driven businessman with Mafia ties who ran a house of prostitution until it was raided by police. Facing the threat of jail time, Fay turned to Jesus Christ for redemption and ever since has been turning others to Him as well.Now featuring a fresh new cover design, Share Jesus without Fear relays Fay's passionate, effective instructions on how to share the love of Christ with anyone--without feeling intimidated on either side of the conversation. Bold and joyful, the outreach movement continues without fear.

More info coming soon on Summer-Serve. You will be invited to participate in a number of opportunities to serve others.
