Evangelism Resources

What is the simplest system one can use to make disciples and mature them spiritually to the point where they can make their own disciples?  A flood of new ideas and methods in evangelism has made us skeptical. The innovation that is needed in churches today is far more elementary yet entirely sufficient: Jesus is Lord.
 
How can we overcome resistance to this innovation?
 
This workshop offers a specific, step by step plan of spiritual formation based on the discipleship systems of the world's largest and fastest growing churches. Participants will learn practical spiritual disciplines based on the Great Commission that operate in pre-venient as well as sanctifying grace to develop Christians into better disciples and then disciple makers.
 
This online workshop is based on Dr. David Kueker's 2007 Doctor of Ministry project on evangelism, church growth and organizational change at Fuller Theological Seminary (www.disciplewalk.com).
 
This seven session course at an introductory rate of $20 is a great way to try out online learning at www.BeADisciple.com.  Participation limited to 18. It will be offered January 19 to February 22, 2009.

On Dr. David Kueker

David lives in Caseyville, Illinois, a small town 9 miles east of the Arch in St. Louis. Nestled in between the materialistic suburbs and the inner city problems of East St. Louis, it is more like a rural village than a part of a city of three million. David is the pastor of the Caseyville United Methodist Church, a small congregation that does a lot of creative things. After graduating from Eastern Illinois University (BA/French) and the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary of Louisville, KY (M.Div), Dave has served as a United Methodist local church pastor in the Illinois Great Rivers Conference for 28 years.
 
Dave's hobby the past seven years has been working on a Doctor of Ministry degree in evangelism and church growth at Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, California; that work was concluded in December of 2007. He has just received his doctorate and is now officially Dr. David Kueker! CONGRATULATIONS!
 
The DMin project on disciple making and overcoming resistance to change is online at www.disciplewalk.com and Dave is facilitating two courses on this subject at www.beadisciple.com. Dave also works with district lay speakers, serves as Assistant Community Spiritual Director for the Illinois Prairieland Walk to Emmaus, and advises some friends planting a church in South Carolina. He is interested in bringing an Organic Church Planting Greenhouse event to the St. Louis area in the spring of 2009 (www.GreenhouseSTL.org).
 
David is single with three grown sons in college or graduate school in Northern Illinois. His oldest son recently became a father.
