Program
People around you are longing for an encounter with Jesus and God wants to use you for this! We often leave this great need and great task to that handful of evangelists from the church. You think: "Evangelism is not for me, because it does not suit me and I cannot and do not want to do it that way!" These thoughts are paralyzing, while you actually want to get moving.
Do you want to learn to testify in your own life about your relationship with God? From the way that suits you for your own environment? Are you looking for more knowledge, understanding and skills about this? It is so different and so much more than just evangelism.
With the Love & Impact training you will be able to overcome your own “challenges” and take the first steps to express your faith in Jesus to the people around you.
Because everyone deserves a real encounter with Jesus!
After the training
- Do you understand what the Bible says about this 'great commission' and how it works in your life?
- Do you know and experience how the Holy Spirit helps you in this?
- Have you grown in your intimacy with God?
- Do you know who you are in Him (identity) and He in you (Kingdom)?
- Do you see opportunities and possibilities to testify about who you are in your environment?
- Can you approach others with confidence and ease from a lifestyle perspective?
- Can you explain the Gospel, share your testimony, pray for people, and pass on words from God?
Structure of the training
The training consists of 10 essentials; 10 evenings + 3 practical moments. You will learn from experienced evangelists, prophets, pastors and teachers. This will illuminate the subject from different angles to give you a good foundation.
The topics of intimacy, identity and authority are three important pillars in the training in which love for God and our neighbor is the motivation.
There is a lot of room for personal prayer where we give the Holy Spirit space to work in us. It is also important to practice together and apply it in your own life.

Introduction
Wat kun je verwachten van deze essential en waar gaat het over?
In deze essential leer je hoe jij een getuige van Jezus kunt zijn voor jouw omgeving. Hoe jij jouw eerste stappen gaat zetten in het volgen van Jezus in het brengen van Gods Koninkrijk voor jouw omgeving …
Wat ga ik leren?
Alle 10 essentials raken een essentieel thema dat jou, als volgeling van Jezus, helpt een dagelijkse getuige van Jezus te zijn voor jouw omgeving. Dit heb je kunnen zien in de inleiding van deze essential. Wij werken door alle thema’s heen op een gelijke manier. Aan de hand van ‘leerdoelen’ een basis van Bijbels onderwijs (introductie, samenvatting en verdieping), opdrachten (groepsopdrachten en thuisopdrachten), verdieping (vragen en reflectie) en ondersteunend materiaal (leesplannen en leesboeken).
Nadat je deze essential hebt doorleefd, heb je ontdekt, ervaren en geleerd …
Samen aan de slag
Aan de slag betekent dat jij alleen en samen met je buddy of groepje daadwerkelijk aan de bak mag. Je staat er dus niet alleen voor. Je gaat lezen in Gods Woord, luisteren naar Zijn stem, verdiept je in de stof, neemt de uitleg door, beantwoordt vragen en denkt na wat het met je doet …
Education
God ziet het goud in jou en Hij zegt: Ga!
Introduction
Mensen bewaren schatten op een veilige plek. Maar God heeft Zijn glorieuze schat, de boodschap die mensen vrijmaakt van zonden en vervult met Zijn liefde, geplaatst in ons. Fragiele, gewone en goedkope kruiken van klei. Wij voelen ons vaak ontmoedigd, onzeker en incompetent om het licht van het Evangelie te laten schijnen. Maar God ziet jou anders! Hij ziet het goud in jou en Hij zegt: Ga! En Ik zal met je zijn …
Bekijk de onderwijs video
Samenvatting
Jezus liep langs het water en riep de broers Simon en Andreas om Hem te volgen. Hij zou van hen vissers van mensen maken. Ze lieten alles achter waar ze mee bezig waren en gingen achter hun Meester aan. Het waren eenvoudige vissers. Maar vissers die bereid waren om te leren van Jezus en om Hem later te vertegenwoordigen. God stuurde Jezus naar de aarde uit liefde voor ons, zodat wij opnieuw in verbinding met Hem konden leven. De god van deze eeuw heeft de ogen van de mens verblind, zodat ze de Vader niet meer zien …
Verdieping
Jezus roept om Hem te volgen
Jezus zei tegen de broers Simon en Andreas: ”Kom, volg mij, ik zal van jullie vissers van mensen maken.” (Mat. 4:19 NBV).
Wanneer Jezus in het leven van Petrus kwam, werd deze eenvoudige visser een nieuwe persoon met nieuwe doelen en nieuwe prioriteiten. Hij werd niet een perfecte persoon en stopte ook niet met het zijn van Simon Petrus. Jezus zag een nieuwe persoon in Simon die hem Petrus liet heten, wat ‘rots’ betekent. Zo gedroeg Simon zich waarschijnlijk niet, als rots, zo impulsief als hij kon zijn. Maar Jezus was op zoek naar mensen die echt en beschikbaar waren en gevormd wilden worden door Zijn liefde ….
Group assignment

And it is also more fun and sociable. You motivate each other and push each other to depth and to a new comfort zone.
What are you going to do?

Context
In Mark 6:7 Jesus called the twelve disciples to Him and sent them out two by two. In Luke 10:1 you read that after Jesus had sent out the 12 disciples, He also sent out the other 72 followers. And two by two, to every city and place to prepare where He wanted to go later …
Description
The journey that you will make in the coming period, you will not make alone. You cannot do it alone. God is there in the first instance to assist us through His Spirit in everything we need. We may therefore place all our trust in Him …
Assignment
“Let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good works” (Heb. 10:24 NIV).
We can encourage each other, which actually means: strongly stimulate!

Finding and teaming up with your buddy
Goal

Context
Let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good works, Heb. 10:24 (NIV).
We can encourage each other, which actually means: strongly stimulate!
We encourage each other in two areas:
- LoveGod the Father is love and we may show this image of Father's love to others.
- Good deeds, Jesus did the works (deeds) of the Father. So we may be followers of Him ….
Description
You have already taken a first step in making the group assignment during the training. Now you can complete the assignment by taking step two. One of the things I have learned is that making yourself vulnerable is a strength …
Assignment

Reading plan
Witnessing Jesus daily is possible!
Goal
Receive revelations from God about your life and the journey you are on with Love & Impact, by reading the reading plans in your own time with God.
Context
People keep treasures in a safe place. But God has placed His glorious treasure, the message that sets people free from sin and fills them with His love, in us. Fragile, ordinary and cheap clay jars. We often feel discouraged, insecure and incompetent to let the light of the Gospel shine. But God sees you differently! …
Description
Start your day every day with a quiet moment with God. Can’t make it as the first moment of the day? Then schedule a moment in your calendar and set this time aside …
Assignment
Be inspired and above all let Him speak to your heart by reading and listening to the meditation and reading the Bible texts.
Always ask yourself the following questions:
- What does this say about God?
- What does it say about me?
- What does God want to speak to me today?
