What to do... When you don't know what to do! Biblical Strategies for Confronting Crisis; This is a basic study provided by Harvest Ministries which is a good representation of where to find answers in scripture to problems in life. The focus of Course is Based on His Word and learning to walk in His Word and the power and authority we all have been given. Pastoral Counseling is not about psychology it is about helping people find God and how to walk in His blessings and not curses. Premise is that God has answers for all of our problems no matter how big the problem. What is difficult often unless one is a Bible scholar is to know where to find this information in scripture and how to apply what is found to every day life. This studies focus is based on where to find it and how to stand on what God has provided for us.$20 US
Strategies for Harvest:
Study shows how to reach out to local
communities, plant seeds, cultivate and prepare for the harvest. Focus is on a
plan of how to establish and outreach in the community. The Bible states in
Proverbs 29:18, "Where there is no vision, the people perish." All
over the world there are born-again believers who are perishing. No, they are
not perishing in sin. They have accepted salvation through Jesus Christ. They
attend church services, read the Bible, and may even be leaders in the church.
But they are dying spiritually. Their lives as believers are routine. There is
no spiritual excitement. They have no goal or purpose. They have no vision. The
vision of which we speak is not what is visibly seen in a trance. It is not
natural vision. It is a spiritual vision.
-If you feel empty spiritually...
-If you long to be used of God, but do not understand your part in His plan...
-If you feel there is something more to Christianity than the routine into which
your life has fallen... The vision is your answer! $20

Biblical Management "Management By Objectives" is a method for conducting Christian ministry in an orderly, effective manner. It is not enough to just know God's will for your life and ministry. You must make definite plans to fulfill your spiritual calling. You must learn to work with God to fulfill His purpose and plans. A serious problem with many Christian leaders is that of organizing and managing spiritual resources God has given them. If laborers for spiritual harvest are few, as the Bible indicates, then they should be effectively organized and managed.$20 US
Evangelism
Almost two-thirds of the world's
population has never heard the Gospel message.
-Over a thousand people groups have never been penetrated for the Lord Jesus
Christ.
-Many tribes have never received their first missionary.
-There are approximately 1,700 languages without the written Word of God.
-The world's population will double in less than 50 years.
When we think of statistics like these in terms of fulfilling the Great
Commission of Jesus Christ to take the Gospel of the Kingdom of God to every
creature, we realize we are faced with a great task. This course is written to
mobilize and equip believers to fulfill this great challenge. It is a tremendous
task, but it is not impossible. Most courses on evangelism focus only on the
command to "go" into all the world with the Gospel. They emphasize
preaching and teaching the Gospel message. This course differs because it also
focuses on what Jesus said to do "as you go" and the New Testament
Church pattern of what to do "while you are there." $20

Principles of Multiplication The Bible records the creation of the world and the first man and woman (Genesis 1). The
first command given by God to these newly created people was to multiply: So God created man in His own image, in
the image of God created He him; male and female created He them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them,
Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it...(Genesis 1:27-28) This process was not only to be
physical multiplication, it was also to be spiritual. As Adam and Eve multiplied physically they would fill the earth with
others like themselves; people who knew God and walked in fellowship with Him. They would be reproducing spiritually
as well as physically. $20 US
Power Principles Jesus told the religious leaders of New Testament times. . . Ye do err, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God. (Matthew 22:29) The truth of the Gospel is two-fold. First, it is the Word of God as revealed in the Holy Bible. To know the Scriptures you must study, understand, and apply them. But the truth of the Gospel is more than the Scriptures. It is also the power of God. To know the power of God you must understand and apply power principles. The power of God must become a reality in your life through experience. $20 US
