Breakouts

Breakout #1

Evangelism And Discipleship In Deuteronomy : New Ideas From An Old Testament Book

Part of the challenge of evangelism in a pluralistic culture is to demonstrate the truthfulness and superiority of our God and His wisdom over all contenders.  Beginning with Deuteronomy 4:5-8, this breakout will focus on seeing God's wisdom as alluring and as apologetic.  While many non-Christians see God's law as out-dated and oppressive, we will examine the ways the law of God demonstrates superior wisdom - even in it's more controversial aspects.  

Speaker : Richard Klaus - Ratio Christi Chapter Director

Breakout #2

Guided Prayer

Prayer is essential for sharing the Gospel because God is the one who changes hearts.  Come learn practical tools for prayer, and then spend much of our time praying together for others to know Christ.  

Speaker : Isabel Han - Campus Missionary at ASU Tempe

Breakout #3

Who's My Neighbor?

This session will take a connection / conversation approach to personal evangelism.  We will look at making connections by strengthening the bonds of trust as we carefully navigate gospel conversations.  We will watch how the master evangelist,  Jesus, asks the right questions and uses a powerful illustration (The Good Samaritan) to make that human connection.  

Speaker : Paul Pyle - Senior Pastor at Mountain View Baptist Church

Breakout #4

Sharing The Gospel With International Students

In Acts 1:8, Jesus told His disciples that they would be his witnesses to the end of the earth - but as an American college student, the end of the earth has come to you.  International students have come to Arizona from more than 80% of the world's countries, giving you an amazing evangelistic opportunity.  In this session, we'll tackle misconceptions and strategies for being an effective witness to your international classmates and dormmates. 

Speaker : Tanyon Berry - Life Among The Nations at ASU

Sharing Jesus With The Spiritual But Not Religious

The term "spiritual" has so many layers.  It can be interpreted and used in so many ways depending on how someone views life and themselves as they navigate life.  In this session we will look at ways you can get to the heart of the matter and meet others with the truth of how Jesus changes everything.  Only offered during breakout session #1.
