Proclaim Course

When it comes to training folks in the task of evangelism, my go-to material is The Proclaim Course.  This course was designed by the folks at Sovereign Grace Ministries & Covenant Fellowship Church in Glen Mills, PA.


From their website:
Want to share your faith buy don't know how? The Proclaim course is a DVD-based evangelism class designed to help everyday Christians like you grow in sharing the good news of Jesus Christ. Through seven sessions you'll discover how to communicate the gospel more clearly and how to trust God more fully in evangelism. Prepare to be practically equipped and biblically motivated as you join God in this unstoppable spread of the gospel!
PROCLAIM SESSIONS
  • The Unstoppable Gospel
  • Gifted for Evangelism
  • Becoming a Friend of Sinners
  • Breaking the Sound Barrier
  • Proclaim the Bad News
  • Proclaim the Good News
  • Putting the Go in Gospel

Why do I like this course?
I like the proclaim course because...

  1. ...it is solid theologically (which is no small task these days)
  2. ...it uses the 10 Commandments to explain the bad news of both our falling short of God's standard and the necessity of God's justice (the bad news); 
  3. ...it nails the fact that God's solution is found in the LIFE and DEATH of Jesus Christ (the Good News)
  4. ...it explains the significance of the resurrection (more Good News)
  5. ...it calls for a response
  6. ...it has an attractive booklet that you can leave with folks [you can download a ppt of the booklet here].  The last two pages are left blank so you can add your or your church's contact info
  7. ...plus it has a handy handy questionnaire which is very useful in getting people to actually talk with folks. The questionnaire is low-key and friendly. It is a great tool in intentional evangelism with people on the street.
