Bible Overview -- Teaching Methods & Models

Ministering Cross-Culturally

The following books (depending on location) are required reading:

"The Seven Laws of the Learner" (Wilkinson)

"How To Read the Bible For All Its Worth" (Fee, Stuart)

"Discipling Nations" (Miller)

"Foreign to Familiar" (Lanier)

OUTREACH:

The goal of outreach is to pass on the tools of Inductive Bible Study to pastors & church leaders so that they will be better equipped to teach & train their people in the Word of God.  Teams usually teach Inductive Bible Study seminars through small books, Bible Overview, various requested books/topics based on needs of audience, and often get requests for teaching Effective Communication.

Outreach locations are selected prayerfully on the basis of need, relationship and potential for growth.  We try to work repeatedly with the same people/locations in order to have a long-term impact.

DEBRIEFING:

During debriefing, teams have a chance to share about their experience, assess their growth, & process as a team and individually the things God did during this time.
