Course Description:

The course will seek to stimulate new ideas for evangelizing population groups that may be difficult to reach with more traditional methods, as well as broadening the means by which people might be attracted to the gospel.

The primary objectives of this class are to:

Identify the biblical and theological perspectives on evangelism
Explain Jesus’ method of working with groups which were difficult to reach
Show methods of selected biblical personalities used to reach groups which were difficult to reach
Identify what a paradigm is and how it works to prevent change
