six-week implementation group study


WHAT IS AN ATCM “s.a.l.t. WORKSHOP?”

Most Christians aren’t confident sharing Jesus with unbelieving neighbors.  We will introduce a simple, practical, and biblical strategy that will help you be salt and light right where God has you now!  After attending, you will be encouraged to participate in a group study of the Going Around The Corner Bible study and implement the mission in your neighborhoods and communities.

A S.A.L.T. workshop is built on four key principles:

  • God is SOVEREIGN and STRATEGIC in where He has put us to live, work, and play.

  • We must ASK God to give us His heart for others and do His work first in them before we even speak.

  • We learn to LOOK for needs and LISTEN to others, trusting God that our physical acts of kindness and service will lead to spiritual conversations.

  • We must TELL our own story, and share the complete gospel, inviting our neighbors, friends, and co-workers into a relationship with Jesus.

“S.A.L.T” Workshops …

  • Flexible. We can meet on weeknights or weekends, in your home, your office, or your church.

  • One session only, lasting 2 hours.

  • Can be held as part of your larger retreat as a workshop/break-out option.

  • Each person receives a copy of our devotional, 40 Days of Spiritual Awareness.

  • Available via ZOOM as an option for your church or group

what is the atcm “LIFT UP YOUR EYES” training WEEKEND?

Weekend Workshops equip the believer to see people as Jesus sees them, and be able to share the gospel with them. We build on Jesus’ words to His disciples, when He told them, “Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months, and then comes the harvest?’ Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look on the fields, that they are white for harvest” (John 4:35).

PASTORS…

Do you have a desire for people to know Jesus?  Do you want the people under your leadership to develop a passion for the gospel?  Overwhelmed with where to start?  Then this is for you!  As believers, we all have a story to share, and God wants to use us to tell others about Jesus.

We must have a plan and a strategy or the opportunities God puts in front of us will pass us by.  Schedule a workshop or training session today, and let us help equip your body to be light and salt right where they live, work, and play!

 
Around The Corner Ministries has been a blessing to me, personally, as well as to our church. More than two dozen recently attended a six-week study, and all of us came away with a renewed desire to love the Lord and be aware of what He is doing in the lives of others. Todd teaches straight from the Scriptures, and he and Sheila model what they preach. Each session was a time of encouragement with practical application assigned. I am grateful for how God continues to use what we learned to be intentional about sharing the gospel with those He has put around us.

Interested in learning more about our Workshops?

Last fall we invited ATCM to come for 4 Sunday-nights to share this outreach approach. First of all, the church had a blast. Todd was both energetic and engaging. The information was Biblically-based, and was easy to understand. The key is it focuses on one’s own neighborhood. Biblically speaking, our community is our field! The rest is simple. We get out in our neighborhood, pray for our neighbors, and get to know them in a casual, non-confrontational way. We develop relationships with them, often helping them with any need, and we do all this to earn the right to show and share the Gospel. Working with a “person of peace’ we create a community of believers in our own backyard and grow together. This model of evangelism is most relevant for the culture we live in today. The ATCM workshop builds on the process each week as they equip us to do what should be “natural” to the Christian. There is plenty of time for Q&A’s and even some role-playing to help train us in the Great Commission. Our church is excited about what we have learned. Every Christian has a story to tell and this book and class energized us to do just that. Whether you have a big or small church, I would recommend that you contact Todd today and set up a time for him to come and share this exciting approach to Matthew 28:18-20. Lifestyle evangelism works! If your church is looking to add a spark of excitement and wants to motivate your people to “get out and share the Gospel” then Going Around The Corner is for you!
