DESCRIPTION

Synopsis from Zondervan: 

Imagine everyone in your church . . .

It can happen! Over one million people have experienced the groundbreaking evangelism training course, Becoming a Contagious Christian—a proven resource designed to equip believers for relational evangelism. Now revised and updated to train entire churches, it avoids stereotyped approaches that feel intimidating to many Christians—and to their friends! Instead, it shows ordinary believers how they can share the gospel in natural and effective ways while being the person God made them to be.
 
Participants learn how to:

• Build spiritually significant relationships
• Direct conversations toward matters of faith
• Explain biblical truth in everyday language
• Tell their own story of coming to faith
• Use easy-to-remember gospel illustrations
• Pray with someone to receive Christ, and more!
   

Exciting features of the revised edition include:
 
• All-new DVD vignettes, including dramas, testimonies, person-on-the-street segments, and a vision-casting segment for leaders • Two teaching options: teach the course yourself (ideal for large group seminars); or use the teaching DVDs and let Mark Mittelberg and Lee Strobel teach it for you (a great option for small groups and Sunday school classes)
 
New CD-ROM that includes PowerPoint presentations and resources for a Contagious Campaign. Includes an Implementation Guide that details how to run a four- to six-week church-wide event—complete with promotional materials, sermon transcripts, and course materials for use in small groups or Sunday school classes.
