評分

Online Participation: 25%
Set aside about three hours each week to watch video lectures and participate in online interaction.

Weekly Open Book Quizzes: 25%

These quizzes will cover the weekly lecture material and the assigned reading as determined by the instructor.

Conversion Testimony and Gospel Presentation: 25%

Students will write their personal conversion testimony (1 page). It should be doctrinally sound and useful for witnessing. It will cover three areas: life before Jesus; how I met Jesus; life after Jesus.

Students will write a presentation of the gospel (1-2 pages). Write this the way you would explain it to someone you are witnessing to. Begin with your approach; include the gospel presentation and end with your invitation to them and their commitment to Jesus and what you would say after he/she commits his/her life to Jesus. Assume the listener is familiar with some Christian background and that he/she is interested in embracing the Christian faith. Write out the potential conversation verbatim.

Witnessing and Gospel Sharing Report: 25%
Students will write a report of a recent witnessing conversation (2 pages). Include the following content: The date of the conversation; the “name” (you may use an alias) and how you know the person you talked with; a brief description of the person (e.g., gender, age, occupation, family and spiritual background, attitude); a brief summary of how previous conversations led to this witnessing conversation; the setting for this conversation; a “verbatim” of the essential witnessing portion of the conversation. the actual words spoken in a conversation as best you recall; and your assessment of how the Spirit is moving in this person; how fruitful this conversation was; what you learned about witnessing through this encounter and what your next step will be in ministry to this person.

The most important learning outcome for this class is that students are equipped to share the gospel with lost people. The only way to truly exhibit that outcome is to actually share the gospel. During this course, students will make opportunities to tell others the gospel, that they can be reconciled to God through Jesus Christ. Whether through a planned ministry activity, building relationships with unbelievers, or a spur-of-the-moment opportunity they will be sharing the gospel with family, friends, or new acquaintances. The goal is to share the gospel with at least 4 different people or groups and invite them to believe. Students may have to make several attempts in order to fully share the gospel even once, so this is likely to be more than just 4 encounters.  It is not our responsibility to convert anyone but it is the responsibility of every disciple to be a witness. Students will summarize their experiences in a 3-5-page paper (or turned into a class presentation). The paper should include brief descriptions of the following:

1. The personal challenge you faced when joining this class. For instance, this is the first time you will be sharing the gospel, or you are learning a new way to do evangelism.
2. How you prepared to share your faith. This might include studying a gospel presentation, prayer for yourself and the person you witness to, spending time building a deeper relationship with someone or out in the area where you can casually meet unbelievers.
3. How you connected with the persons you shared with.
4. A brief summary of the actual gospel presentations you shared and their response.
5. Any next steps or follow up that you are doing.
6. Reflections and lessons learned.

自選時間，觀看預先錄影的講座視頻和參與在線互動，每週約需要3小時。

每週開卷小測驗:25%

這些小測驗將涵蓋講義材料和指導老師確定的指定閱讀材料。

個人得救見證和福音宣講：25%

學員將寫下他們的個人得救見證（1頁）。見證應該在教義合理，對見證有用。它將涵蓋三個領域：得救之前;如何得救; 得救之後的生活。

學員將寫一份福音宣講文（1-2頁）。按照見證的方式寫這篇福音宣講文。自由選擇開始的方法，解釋福音最重要的元素，邀請他們對耶穌承諾，將生命交託給耶穌結束。假設聽眾熟悉一些基督教背景，並且有興趣接受基督教信仰。逐字寫下潛在的對話。

見證和福音分享報告：25%
學員將寫一份最近見證對話的報告（2頁）。包括以下內容：對話日期; “姓名”（您可以使用別名）以及您如何認識與您交談的人; 對人的簡要描述（例如性別、年齡、職業、家庭和精神背景、態度）; 簡要總結以前的談話如何導致這次見證談話;此對話的背景;對話中基本見證部分字句; 你最記得的對話中說出的實際話語; 聖靈如何感動; 談話的成效; 你從這次相遇中學到了什麼; 以及你下一步要如何事奉這個人。

這門課最重要的學習成果是學員有能力與人分享福音。真正展示這種結果的唯一方法就是真正分享福音。在本課程中，學員將有傳揚福音的機會，通過耶穌基督與神和好。無論是通過有計劃的事工活動，與非信徒建立關係，還是偶然的機會，學員都會與家人、朋友或新認識的人分享福音。目標是與至少 4 個不同的人或團體分享福音，並邀請他們相信。學員可能需要多次嘗試才能完全分享福音，所以這不僅僅是四次相遇。 相信神是人的責任，但是每個門徒都有責任成為見證人。學生將在一篇 3-5 頁的論文中總結他們的經驗（或課堂口述）。該論文應簡要包括以下內容：

1. 你在加入這班面臨的個人挑戰。例如，這是你第一次分享福音，或者你正在學習一種新的傳福音方式。
2. 你如何準備分享你的信仰。可能包括學習福音宣講，為自己和你所見證的人祈禱，花時間與某人建立更深的關係，或者在結識非信徒的地方。
3. 您如何與人建立分享的關係。
4. 簡要總結你所分享的福音宣講，以及人的回應。
5. 任何後續行動或操作步驟。
6. 經驗反思。
