- Share the gospel clearly to a PEW facilitator using the Bridge Illustration.
- Move from hesitancy to readiness and even joy in sharing the good news.
- Train another person to be prepared to share the reason for the hope they have.
Instructional includes a brief teaching time, demonstration, written fill-in-the-blank testing, practice time, and Q&A.
