FaithSearch Discovery Teachers:

Now YOU Can Become a FaithSearch Teacher or Facilitator!

Many people are needed in order for the FaithSearch message to make a greater impact on the diversity of people and cultures in the U.S.A. and around the world. Publications like The DaVinci Code—and many other attacks on the foundations of the Christian faith—require that we prepare churches and their people to make a defense (give reasons) for the hope that we have (1 Peter 3:15). Every city, every church, and every rural area in America can now have local people share the FaithSearch message, a powerful antidote against such attacks. Those who do not have gifts or confidence to be a presenter can learn to facilitate FaithSearch Discovery through book discussions using Surprised by Faith.

Multiplication Ministry

The FaithSearch Center exists to equip both lay and professional men and women to use the outreach and discipleship tools of FaithSearch International for their personal ministries. Said simply,

1. We want to train you to teach the same presentation of FaithSearch Discovery we use, whether in your church's Sunday School, as a series of illustrated sermons, with a small group in your home or office, or as part of the curriculum of a Christian or home school.
2. We want to train you how to be a discipler—using our Growing Faith manual to nurture new believers resulting from your ministry, and to help strengthen the faith of any believer.

It's Already Working

India FaithSearch trainees are leading hundreds to the Lord—and already equipping others to do the same. Recently we received an encouraging report from Nesamony Alwin, one of our India FaithSearch Discovery Teachers.

Prabu attended your FaithSearch training and implemented it in Peraiyuoo Taluk in Madurai District. As a team they shared the message.…Twenty-seven people heard this truth, out of which nine members accepted Christ. In February, I trained eight Brethren Bible College students. After the training they went for the ministry and shared the Gospel with twelve people, out of which eight members accepted Christ. The FaithSearch lessons are very useful for them to clear the doubts of the people.

Also recently, Ardis Skogland, from the first U.S.A. training class, shared this testimony:

One mom and her eighth grade son who took the class from me recently watched something about The DaVinci Code on television. They were so excited because they recognized from having studied FaithSearch that those claims [of The DaVinci Code] couldn't be true. She said, "It was the evidence from this class that allowed us to say, 'That's from the legend period. That's not true.'" And they saw how if they hadn't had FaithSearch, they would have bought into that distortion.
