What People are Saying:

This study is amazing. I used it with high school student I mentor, and she has grown tremendously. She admitted to me that she was nervous to start it at first, but is so thankful she has done it and is really sad that we are through with it.

REACHING A LOST WORLD
Cults & World Religions

Intensive Discipleship Course, by Vinnie Carafano

Ask yourself:

  • What would you say to a Muslim friend who says Jesus was just a prophet?
  • How would you expose the deception in the beliefs of Mormon missionaries?
  • Could you answer the arguments of Jehovah's Witnesses at your door?
  • Could you explain or defend the doctrine of the Trinity or the validity of the Bible?

Reaching a Lost World will challenge you to dig deeply into the Word of God for answers to these questions and many more. In twelve weeks you’ll be equipped as a more effective witness for the Lord. You’ll feel more confident to talk to members of cults and world religions about your faith and be ready to stand up for the truth.

Why should you study cults and world religions? Because our world is no longer divided into isolated parts. A century ago most Westerners would not have known a Hindu, Buddhist, or Muslim. Mormonism and Jehovah’s Witness were small fringe groups, and the New Age movement had not officially begun. Today people of every major cult and world religion are nearby, living in our neighborhoods, sitting next to us in class, and working with us at our jobs. We can bring the light of the gospel to people from every belief system, and we need to prepare ourselves through study and prayer.

Each volume in the Intensive Discipleship Course series is a twelve-week, life-changing exercise of commitment and learning. Developed from years of student ministry experience, the course is designed specifically for high-school and college students, as individuals or in groups.

Students will learn from:

  • Challenging weekly teachings
  • Daily Bible reading
  • Scripture memory
  • Prayer and fasting
  • Mission and book reports
  • Resources for continued growth

KNOWING GOD'S HEART
Missions and Evangelism

Intensive Discipleship Course, by Vinnie Carafano

Ask yourself:

  • What has God put on your heart?
  • How much do you know about world issues and
  • God's attitude toward them?
  • What can you do in the face of rampant poverty, violence, injustice, and hopelessness?
  • Are you prepared to follow God and live out His compassion wherever He leads?

Many young Christians are ready for a challenge. Knowing God's Heart is a book about destiny, purpose, and calling. It directs readers to a life of fulfilling the plans of God and the purposes for which He created them.

Studying missions is a dangerous thing. It leaves you with more responsibility to take action. Sometimes it's easier not to know . . . but would you prefer ignorance? Millions die each year without knowing the love of Jesus Christ. Millions are impoverished, homeless, abused, unloved, and lonely. This book will show you God's compassion for a broken world and give you the tools you need to follow Him into places where the light of Christ is yet to shine.

Each volume in the Intensive Discipleship Course is a twelve-week, life-changing exercise of commitment and learning. Developed from years of student ministry experience, the course is designed specifically for high-school and college students, as individuals or in groups.

Students will learn from:

  • Challenging weekly teachings
  • Learning evaluations
  • Mission and book reports
  • Resources for continued growth
  • Daily Bible reading
  • Scripture memory
  • Prayer and fasting
