Accelerated Evangelism Program

25 August – 21 December, 2024
Wolfern, Austria

About

Plymouth Leadership College is dedicated to preparing disciples who will go into the world and share their personal experience in the everlasting gospel. With this in mind, PLC will be holding another Accelerated Evangelism Program at our campus in Europe (Austria). Those who attend will come apart from their regular lives to dedicate themselves to a deep study of the Word. Over four months, with a variety of different instructors, these students will learn of the Word and how to share it with others. Then, with the support of the four local churches in the area they will get a chance to start putting their new skills in sharing the Word to use while in the program. When concluded, students will be able to go back to their communities, their workplaces, their families, their churches, and their schools, better equipped to give an answer for their faith. They will not only share their testimony but also be empowered to prepare new disciples themselves.

If you want to be better equipped to be a disciple of Christ, to be able to share the good news of salvation, then this course is for you. As a discipleship program you will gain a deep knowledge of the truth found in the Word as well as skills in public speaking, personal witnessing, giving personal studies to others, and using modern technology to share the gospel. PLC is dedicated to preparing disciples such as you, so that you will go out and finish the great Gospel Commission given to us by the Master Teacher.

“With such an army of workers as our youth, rightly trained, might furnish, how soon the message of a crucified, risen, and soon-coming Saviour might be carried to the whole world!”—Ellen G. White, Education, p. 271

“The greatest want of the world is the want of men and women—who will not be bought or sold, who in their inmost souls are true and honest, who do not fear to call sin by its right name, whose conscience is as true to duty as the needle to the pole, who will stand for truth though the heavens fall.”

Ellen G. White
