The Evangelism Leadership program is designed to prepare young men to proclaim the message of the gospel and to be able to train others to do the same.
Program Overview
The life and ministry of the Evangelist is consumed in a passion for the gospel—the "good news" of deliverance for the sinner and for the saint. The courses in the Evangelism Leadership program are designed to give you the heartbeat behind local church ministry and a practical understanding of the role and life of the evangelist. Some of the most impacting aspects of the Evangelism program are the multiple times of internship where you receive focused mentorship and valuable experience with seasoned evangelists.
