Apologetics Course in Mexico City

Novembre 4-6 I will be giving a course on Apologetics in Mexico City to future Student Ministry Staff. This is an important in the formation of Student Ministry Staff since we are living in a time when Christianity is not popular in the secular universities. We need staff trained in how to respond to the new atheistic trends in the universities. Be praying with us that they will become better able to respond (1 Peter 3:15) and Christian answers can be availible to students

North East Regional Camp: 1 Peter

When we return from our trip to central Mexico we will be speaking at the North East Regional Camp. We will be talking on Living Stone, Community and Pray from 1 Peter. Be praying that the students get the vision of 1 Peter.

Staff training:Biblical Exposition

Staff conference 09, October 29-Noviembre 3, 09
Jan and I are invited each to teach a workshop on Bible Exposition and The Joy Reading Bible in the Annual Staff conference for the University Student Ministry at the end of October in Valle de Bravo, México.

I had give a similar workshop on Biblical Exposition at the Leaders Training Encounter in July. It was a very positive experience for many. Since we use the Inductive Bible Study in the studies on the university campus’ , the trick is to change the delivery from questions to a sermon or monologue.

In the summer workshop I asked the students, What is the biggest cause for a bad sermon? Please write you answer en the comments below this article.

Staff Conference 09

At the end of October, we will attend the Mexican university ministry staff conference. I would like to give books to the staff, to help them do their jobs better. If you would like to help in getting books that teach to staff members, send your donation to Immanuel Christian Fellowship, Mission to Mexico, 909 NE 30th St., Portland, Oregon 97232.

Key books help staff teach and counsel university students to be followers of Jesus in a very hostil environment. Your gift can make a difference.

Let us know if you give so we can advance in purchasing books.
