FAITH is:

• Pastor-friendly - provides a time-tested strategy, no special training or certification
• Shorter - takes only 12 weeks to complete
• Flexible - can be utilized by Sunday School classes as well as small groups
• Conversational - makes sharing the gospel more natural
• Cultural - builds disciples who train others to share

With just an initial spark, FAITH can help you start the engine of evangelism in your church.
