    "We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit." (Acts 5:32)

    Overview: This class looks at the mighty things the Holy Spirit does in the thought, work, and practice of presenting God's grace to others through evangelism. Each unit provides practical guidance for witnessing and biblical teaching about grace.

    Required Reading (All provided here online, so no book purchase is necessary.) 

    1. Written materials and outlines from Professor Ren Broekhuizen.
    2. Written course material and questions by Dr. Ed Roels about grace and salvation. 
    3. Articles on the history of evangelism from the Christian History Institute.

    Assignments:

    1. Read linked articles assigned for each unit.

    2. View all video lectures online. (These lectures are also available as MP3 audios, but you will miss seeing helpful slides if you only listen to audio.)


    3. Take the online quiz for each unit. You will have 60 minutes to answer 15 multiple-choice questions for each quiz (and one quiz with 10 questions).  Once a quiz starts, you must finish it andcan't retake it. So be ready ahead of time. Each quiz covers readings and video lectures for that unit. While taking the quiz, you may use your notes and refer to articles and other materials. Tip: First, answer all the questions you know. Then try to look up answers to questions you don't know. When you have entered an answer for every question, submit the quiz for grading before the 60-minute limit.
    Quizzes must be completed independently. The use of AI tools, search engines, other websites, or assistance from other individuals is prohibited.
    Quizzes are open-note. You may reference your own notes or any of the provided CLI course materials during the quiz. However, you should plan to study materials prior to attempting the quiz.
    Quiz Tip: First answer the questions you know. Then use your own notes or the provided CLI course materials to help answer any questions you are unsure about.

    4. Read articles from Christian History Institute.  These articles are mostly from the archives of Christian History magazine. Thanks to CLI's partnership withChristian History, you have access to great material from excellent church historians without needing to purchase any books.

    5. Write an 800-1,000 word reflection paper for unit 12. This paper should sum up your discoveries in this course and describe action steps on how you plan to practice more evangelism in your life. Don't just hastily write this paper during unit 12. Instead, make a few notes in each unit of things that impressed you in your studies for that unit: helpful insights that struck you in your course of study. In unit 12, take all your notes from the first 11 units, select those that you find most valuable, pray for the Holy Spirit's leading, and put together a paper summarizing key lessons you've learned and action steps you plan to take. The paper counts for 100 points. The main value, however, is your discoveries and action plans, not the grade. Some of the content from your papers could find its way to our website blog. 

    Course Forum

    Each course forum is located near the beginning of the course, immediately before the first course-content section. The forum allows students to post course-related questions and comments for other currently enrolled students to view and discuss. You can also search previous posts to see whether your question or topic has already been addressed. 

     The forum is intended primarily for peer discussion and may not receive an immediate response. Questions or concerns requiring timely assistance should be directed to the Help Desk at helpdesk@christianleaders.net.
