In this new video-based training course, bestselling author and teacher Mark Mittelberg introduces you to the five Contagious Faith Styles--Friendship-Building, Selfless-Serving, Story-Sharing, Reason-Giving, Friendship-Building, Selfless-Serving, Story-Sharing, Reason-Giving, and Truth-Telling Truth-Telling--and helps you discover which of these approaches (or combination of them) will enable you to naturally share your faith in Jesus with the people around you.
The Contagious FaithContagious Faith assessment will help you identify your primary style, along with any secondary styles you discover. It will give you next steps for developing and deploying your natural approach in order to reach others for Christ. It will also emphasize the importance of all the skill set areas discussed in the Contagious FaithContagious Faith book, and wherever natural it will prompt them to try out the skills discussed on the video with someone else in the group. In this way their effectiveness and confidence will grow--and with it, their potential for bearing spiritual fruit by impacting the lives of others.
The six sessions (study guide sold separately) in Contagious FaithContagious Faith can be used in small groups, classes, student ministries, and church-wide campaigns. The training videos will also include short interviews in which Mark Mittelberg will interact with five individuals who speak and use each of the 5 faith-sharing styles. Much like Mittelberg's Becoming a Contagious ChristianBecoming a Contagious Christian, we see the Contagious FaithContagious Faith book and course becoming the standard materials churches and Christian ministries will use around the world to help their members more effectively share their faith with others.
