I have been involved in a number of courses either as a participant or teaching it. I am now of the conclusion they are a complete waste of time. The best evangelism course available is simply just go out and do it. You learn as you go which is the best teacher by far.
Apologies to anyone who is keen on organised evangelism courses.
A course gives people some tools with which to work. Of course, the people still have to go out and do it. A course with no action, is like faith with no work - its dead. I have seen people who would never have evangelized become evangelists for our Lord through the WOTM course(s). While most people do not evangelize because of apathy - some really do not go because of fear and/or lack of training - through a Biblical course the Holy Spirit can enable the willing but timid to become obedient. After all, the Scriptures plainly teach that the saints need teachers and that is what a course provides.
Living Waters broadcasts their WOTM training videos on the Trinity Broadcasting Network (Crouch, Hinn, Copeland, etc.), and some in your church may feel this is an inappropriate/unscriptural relationship. But I do appreciate their emphasis on using the law to help people see their real need.
I am nearly finished the "beginner" WOTM course. Last Lord's day afternoon, we went witnessing. I was with a friend and I asked a young man if I could ask him some questions. It turned out that he was much more comfortable speaking in Afrikaans rather than English, so my friend had to take over. The young man seemed interested enough and took our little book we had for him. We also talked to another man who knew much of the Bible but didn't yet have any assurance of salvation. Either we clarified the Gospel for him or encouraged a Christian brother; either is good.
One of the things is that I was able to get over my fleshly fear. And I found it quite natural to quickly build a relationship with these few people. God does the work; all we are called to do is plant and water.
WOTM gives a simple way to "break the ice" and to ensure that you deliver a complete and potent Gospel presentation. You can download mp3 files of every radio show they do (2 hours each of 5 days per week). Most of these hours include a witnessing encounter over the phone. The broad range of people represented means that you will get lots of examples of how to share your faith. It is this that I appreciate the most.
Witnessing has always been difficult for me, especially breaking the ice... I will have to check this out
