Word Studies: TERM Seminar

Class: Worldview Evangelism (also The Emmaus Road Message or TERM Seminar)

Week #2: September 19-23

Professor: Mr. John R. Cross


Assignments: Worldview Assignment to be completed before the start of class
Details: Talk to five people of different age and background about their views on God, man and life after death.


This past week the students at WOLBI have sat underneath the teaching of Mr. John R. Cross who taught the TERM Seminar.

Mr. John R. Cross is a teacher and author for GOODSEED International. He has also worked with New Tribes Missions for over 23 years. His passion is to see the gospel preached and lives changed.

The TERM Seminar is a walk-through and training of the book By This Name. The book takes the reader through the gospel message starting in Creation and ending in Christ's death and Resurrection. The seminar trains the students to be able to use the book and other resources in a small group situation. This class is also great preparation for Open Air Evangelism as it answers many of the questions that the students will be asked during the ministry in Toronto and Hamilton next week.

The following are comments from some of the students:

"It was a great overview of the Bible and I learned alot about areas that I've never really taken time to study before."
- Monica, Stratford

"There was a lot to learn."
- Kassey, Goulais River

It was nice to get refreshed with the big picture."
- Nathan, Goulais River

"I noticed that the gospel is about all the Old Testament and is way easier to use the Old Testament in the gospel than just using John, easier to make connections and for people to understand."
- Jean-Christophe, Quebec

The TERM Seminar is extremely relevant and practical for what the students need in the ministries that they will be involved in throughout the year. What makes it even better, is when the students will be able to look back and realize how they used what they learned in class.  If these students allow God to do so, He will use them greatly with what He has provided for in their lives.
