CONFERENCIA ACTUAL

Lo que está sucediendo


The George Whitefield Program for full-time evangelists is conducting its annual Fellowship Conference the week of June 17 - 21, 2024, near Chattanooga, TN. Workshops are offered on expository preaching and transitioning into full-time evangelism. 

To apply, contact Bill Adams at either: bill@sfoi.org or 866-646-5683 and then complete the registration page noting whether you are participating in Track #1 or #2.


If you are interested in joining the GWP discuss this with Bill Adams.


The two tracks:


Pista n.° 1: Transición a la evangelización vocacional

  • Fundraising, administrative, audience & scheduling.

Este curso es obligatorio para los hombres que se unen a GWP o que desean aprender los fundamentos de la vida evangelística a tiempo completo. Se cubren los siguientes temas:


  • Who is your audience?
  • Consistency and the pastoral ministry that happens through your evangelism.
  • Ministry Partner Development [fundraising].
  • The role of the evangelist in the Great Commission.
  • Spiritual disciplines which includes prayer and navigating the relationships you have as an evangelist.
  • Leading your family.


Again, the training is for men who believe they are called to or are considering the work of preaching Christ in the open air. This is not training in evangelism, that training is conducted through Sports Fan Outreach Int'l events, rather this is training for the administrative and personal aspects of ministry.

Track #2: Keep Your Finger In The Text (KYFITT) Bible Exposition Workshop:

Track #2: Sermon Preparation


Heath Pucel: Es evangelista en Fishermen's Call e instructor de los talleres "Mantén tu dedo en el texto" (KYFITT) para la SFOI. Este año, Heath imparte Teología Bíblica en la predicación.


The workshop focus this year will be on "Persuasion & Rhetoric."


Communicating a Biblical text is as crucial as understanding it. We often neglect spending time on this aspect of our preaching.


We will work on sermon preparation and preaching:

  • Forming an argument
  • Elaboración de un bosquejo de sermón
  • Developing applications for our audience
  • Illustrating the text
  • Consejos para predicar sermones


Cada participante aplicará los principios del taller a través de asignaciones de textos y predicaciones.


Heath describe el objetivo de su enseñanza:


"The commitment of studying biblical passages is crucial for faithful exposition in preaching and teaching scripture. It requires a commitment to diligent and thorough examination of the text and a willingness to engage in the hard work rather than relying on the interpretations of others, study notes and commentaries. Although these are useful, they should not be our first resources for study. This approach provides a path to practical, persuasive, powerful preaching. It guards against the pitfalls of misinterpreting or mishandling scripture in order to fit personal beliefs, agendas and theological frameworks. By carefully studying and interpreting the Bible, we discover and gain a deeper understanding of God's Word so we can apply its teachings to our lives first, which leads to preach and teach with greater accuracy and effectiveness."

Testimonials


“Bill’s goal with SFOI and the GWP has been to mobilize the next generation of George Whitefield’s. This goal combined with KYFITT provide a powerful remedy of faithful heralds of the King, rightly proclaiming His word and living a life fully and totally committed to prayer, study and preaching the word."


  • Estoy entusiasmado este año ya que nos sumergiremos en la teología bíblica y la predicación.


Biblical Theology plays a crucial role in preaching, as it seeks to uncover the overarching themes, concepts, and purposes of Scripture and how it points to Christ. By understanding the overarching themes and motifs in the grand narrative of the Bible, we can gain a deeper appreciation for the continuity of God's message across different books, authors, and genres.


Esto nos ayuda a interpretar y conectar varios pasajes y temas a lo largo de toda la Biblia, lo que nos permite presentar una visión holística del carácter de Dios, su plan de salvación y nuestro papel en su historia.


Además, fundamentar nuestra predicación en una base sólida de teología bíblica puede ayudarnos a evitar errores y trampas teológicas que disminuyen la exaltación de Cristo y muestran una conexión mayor y más profunda con el Evangelio a aquellos a quienes predicamos.
