Module Speakers

JUDI COATS

A Focus on Prayer. Learn how to pray God's will through His Word. You will not be learning how to organize a prayer life so much as you will be learning how to live and breathe biblical prayer.

NELL COLLINS

Helping a Family in Crisis. An unprecedented family crisis: What do you say? What do you do? How do you help? What does it mean to speak in the language of the listener, to weep with those who weep, to meet practical needs and give spiritual encouragement?

LANA LEE HELM

Witnessing and Evangelism. We've all seen courtroom dramas where a "star"witness steps up to the stand and flawlessly "cracks" the case. How can you be that kind of witness for Christ? We will look at some "star" witnesses in the Bible and share some practical tips on how you can be a more effective witness for Christ!

DIANE OLSON

Bible Study Methods. In our time together we will see how the Bible is organized and use the inductive Bible study method to discover what Scripture says, explore what it means, and learn how to apply it to our daily lives. We will also examine different study tools that will help us in this process.

MARCIA PHILLIPS

Supporting Your Ministry Husband. Supporting your ministry husband is itself a challenging ministry. Bombarded by expectations from without and issues of the heart from within, you must serve the Lord by serving the one who is serving everyone else. How do you do it?
