Who It’s For

The Good Soil Basic Seminar is ideal for pastors, mission leaders, missionaries, youth leaders, deacons and elders, other church leaders, or anyone else looking to make lasting, life-altering impacts, personally or through their ministry organizations.

If you find yourself stalled in your missional or evangelism efforts, the Good Soil Basic Seminar will help identify where and why you are struggling and will provide you with the skills and ministry resources necessary to reach your friends, neighbors, co-workers, relatives, and others who need to hear God’s good news, the gospel of Jesus Christ.

If you’re interested in the Good Soil Basic seminar, we invite you to our upcoming training!

Why It’s Important

There are many versions of the “gospel” that people believe are true, even if they’ve never researched or considered it themselves. Additionally, the variance of cultures and worldviews can make it even harder for a believer to communicate the Gospel in a way that it is not only understood, but also received and applied. That is what makes the Good Soil Basic Seminar so unique and important! The purpose of this training is to help you articulate the gospel to those who haven’t heard it, don’t believe it, or are of another worldview or culture in a way that spans the gap between what they believe and what God’s Word says!

No other organization offers a seminar like this — it’s fun, engaging and interactive and most importantly, it is life changing! Our mission is to help you help others, and it does not stop at the end of the seminar. We also provide attendees with the option to get certified in Good Soil evangelism and discipleship principles and we’re even willing to help you put what you’ve learned into practice at your church, mission field, youth group, Bible study, or wherever your evangelism and discipleship efforts take place! We believe our Good Soil Basic Seminar is the most effective and most practical evangelism and discipleship seminar out there and we’d love for you to see why!

What You’ll Learn & Receive
