The Church in Antioch {Congregational Infancy}. The Church in Antioch {Congregational Prophecy}. The Church in Antioch {Congregational Maturity}. Evangelism: {Personal Encounter and Biblical Engagement}. Challenging Common Excuses: {One to One Engagement Employing Specific and Appropriate Biblical Content} The Marine Forecast: {Launch Out and Let Down for a Draught}. The Advancing Kingdom: {Engaging the Powers}. Instructional Objectives of the Seminar The instructional objectives of the seminar are threefold: Sessions are conducted to impart the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary to empower the average Christian within the local church with a working knowledge of the Bible and to implant an enduring passion for winning the lost. The management of a one to one, face to face encounter with someone interested in spiritual things by biblical instruction and challenging their present understanding of what it means to be a Christian and how to become one. A role play between trainer and (1) a willing and or (2) an unwilling individual with the co-operation of a training participant for two 15 minute simulations will be conducted and observed by all after the 45 minutes presentation entitled “Personal Encounter and Biblical Engagement”. A brainstorming session in which participants examine what has, what is and what will motivate them to seriously take up the challenge of the great commission to family, friends and co-workers in a natural enjoyable and conversational manner by the use of a problem/solution tree. Identified Problem: Apathy: Laxity: Fear: Neglect in sharing the gospel as a mutually enjoyable lifestyle activity. Identified Places and Persons: By the park, beach, grocery store, market, camps or after work socials. These social gatherings may be initiated by Christians where non Christians may come and enjoy a relaxed evening of singing, poetry {dub or otherwise}, half an hour process dramatization of cognitive and socio-cultural challenges unbelievers encounter when they observe the life and ministry of the average church member and are challenged with the community outreach in the local church. At least once per quarter, on the last Friday of the third month the local church or ministry departments will plan and implement this outreach activity undergirded with corporate prayer and fasting as the Christian community find other means of engaging various persons in the community and work place with the gospel of the kingdom. Using the model of the Church in Antioch {Infancy}, the Church in Antioch {Prophecy} and the Church in Antioch{Maturity} we will examine the clearly observable driving forces of individual and corporate effectiveness of the lay witness, i.e. the witness of ordinary believers and professional ministries in impacting the community, the dynamic impact of visiting prophetic ministries to stir up the saints in discovering their callings, gifts, abilities and ministries as well as the needed support of the local church for overseas missions from antiquity with implications for the present century.
