Friendship First Course

Friendship First Course (On-site)

Want to better understand your friends from the near faith? The Friendship First course is for ordinary Christians to better understand, love and build bridges of friendship with people from near faith. This course will help dispel any fear we may have harboured in building friendship with them and give us practical handles to share God's love to them. Building bridges through friendship is at the heart of this course. Two-way conversations and attentive listening are the bricks and mortar for building these bridges. Thus, Friendship First takes an interactive and practical approach over 6 sessions. Do come ready to ask questions as well as to learn from the sharing and experiences of other participants. We will cover topics from what 'defines' people from this nearby faith to engaging them in spiritual conversations. We will also discuss what are some theological and cultural barriers that hinder them from developing a relationship with God through Jesus. And conversely, what resonates with them (in their worldview) that can bring them closer to Him.
