Outreach Training School

Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

We must reach as many as possible, with the Gospel, as fast as possible because of the great need and the short time! These are exciting days we live in. These also are very challenging times. What is needed is fresh ideas and creative new approaches that share the timeless story of Jesus Christ and His love for all mankind.

We would like to invite you to come and learn how to better be used of God in local and worldwide outreach. We want to help train you to be an effective Christian communicator. Not everyone is a proclamation evangelist but all are called by our Lord to share their faith. At an Outreach Training School you can fine tune a talent or learn a new method of outreach. You take only the courses you are interested in and you attend or study at your own pace.

These are not the only ways to do outreach or is this the only way to learn to be an effective minister of the Gospel but these OTS classes are all methods that can work. Each method will not work in every situation, but can be used as a catalyst to motivate Godly prayer and thinking on what can work in an area.

The Holy Spirit can and will use people who have pure hearts and prepared minds. Do your best and let God do the rest! He will inspire you. He will energize you. He will lead you!

Most of the things that you can learn in the OTS classes are ideas that will take group participation in order to be a total success. Jesus established the church because it is the best way for people to work together, learn together and minister together.

"IT TAKES TEAM WORK TO MAKE THE DREAM WORK!"

"MAY GOD SHOW YOU WHICH CLASSES YOU NEED TO TAKE IN ORDER TO USE YOU TO REACH YOUR FIELD FOR CHRIST!"

Purpose

On The Go wants to be used of God in the lives of students in the following ways:

We desire to train an outreach army who will carry the message of Christ across the street and around the world.

We also desire to be a blessing to local churches and ministries by providing ministry training that helps supplement their evangelistic and missions efforts.

We want to help train men and women how to be effective Christian communicators. Not everyone is a proclamation evangelist but all are called by our Lord to share their faith. We want to be used of God to help fine tune a talent or teach a new method of outreach.
