A training course developed in Exeter, encouraging Christians to share their faith with family and friends, is now being used around the world.
Living & Telling, to be found on the Agapé UK stand at CRE South West, was created to ‘envision, train and equip every Christian to share Jesus naturally and helpfully, as a way of life.’
‘The uptake has been extraordinary,’ said Tim Moyler, who helped develop the 10-session course to assist his son and other youngsters going to university. ‘Not only did it encourage them to keep the faith but it has now developed into something that any Christian can relate to, whether they are 16 or 116.’
Rico Tice, senior minister for evangelism at All Souls, Langham Place, London, was similarly enthusiastic after using it.
‘We are incredibly thankful for the material itself that has been developed over many years,’ he said. ‘I am the first to acknowledge that it is not easy to develop evangelism training and course material to such a high standard. This is so well thought through, theologically grounded and wonderfully practical.’
The Rev James Grier, Mission Enabler for the Diocese of Exeter, said: ‘Living & Telling is fantastic – I recommend it wholeheartedly.’
The free-to-download course is easy to facilitate either for online Zoom meetings or face-to-face sessions.
‘It’s ideal for small groups as the highly-interactive videos do all the work, so leaders can participate too,’ said Tim, who was recently invited to join an online Living & Telling group with a group of women across Jamaica. ‘It was all smiles and wonderful to see the course transfer so seamlessly onto Zoom.’
He will run a seminar each day at CRE SW (see schedule here) and be available on the Agapé UK stand. ‘It’s brilliant that Living & Telling is finally coming home so Christians across the south west can discover it in its new form,’ he said.
