Inviting Guests to Introducing God |
|
How do I encourage Christian hosts to invite their friends to Introducing God?
The
key to our friends coming to Introducing God is prayer, a godly life
and an invitation. But there are a few steps along the way that can
help:
- Step One: Raise awareness: People need to know we are Christian and that being part of the family of God is significant in our lives. First question is: Do your friends who don't have a relationship with God, know that you do?

Training Discussion Facilitators |
|
 What difference does training make?
Key to the Introducing God experience is creating an environment where our guests feel safe to agree and disagree. Introducing God is not just a series of talks - it is an experience where people in a safe, relaxed comfortable environment can come into relationship with God, through listening, discussing and exploring.
The training of Christian hosts and discussion group facilitators is vital to ensure that everyone is striving for this culture.
Here are some training tips: |

|

 More
than 15,000 people have done the Introducing God course in lounge
rooms, small groups, restaurant settings and one to one since its
release 18 months ago.
But Introducing God’s author

earthy environment of an inner city pub.

Sydney course wins Middle Eastern converts |
|
Introducing God winds up in the Middle East.
 News that three people recently came to Christ may not sound earth-shattering.
However this trio live in a major Middle Eastern city, and were
converted after attending a course written by a Sydney Anglican
minister.
The course called Introducing God was written by the Rev Dominic
Steele, rector of Annandale Anglican Church, and founder of Christians
in the Media. It takes place over dinner, with a talk and table
discussion introducing guests to the God of the Bible and outlining his
salvation plan beginning with Genesis through to Revelation.
Over 1,100 churches across the globe – from South East Asia to Ireland - have now signed up to run the course.
But how did Introducing God wind up being run in the Middle East.

"I wanted it to keep going" - Sports reporter |
|
Ray Hickson, Sports reporter, Daily Telegraph
After a
bit of prodding, I went along to the Roxbury Hotel in Glebe a little
unsure of what to expect. And a little nervous at the prospect of
meeting other media types in the Christian world.
I shouldn’t have been so concerned. Because by the end of dinner on the
first night – before the official part of the evening – I was already
sold on the concept. What occurred in the hour or so following dinner,
the talk and table discussion, was incredibly frank and comfortable and
the format allowed for those a little unsure why they were there, like
I was at first, to assess the situation.
Exactly what Introducing God is all about became clear quickly: a
step-by-step look at the promise of God and the story of Jesus in a
completely non-threatening environment with plenty of scope for asking
questions. The discussion groups were well led, enjoyable and thought
provoking (at least the group I was in).

Introducing Journalists to God |
|
A new evangelistic course aimed at post-moderns has grown out of a ministry for media workers.
Gameplan with Stuart Robinson
Dominic Steele, the founder of Christians in the Media is a self-confessed radio fanatic. “I still have scrap books at home with photos of the Sydney radio stars of the 1970s,” he quips.
Dominic worked for Sydney radio stations 2UE and 2WS and did everything from covering the Anita Cobby inquest, to editing and reading breakfast news through to reporting the 1988 Olympic Games in South Korea.
During his time at 2UE Dominic was invited by a colleague, Russell Powell, to consider the claims of Christ. “I attended church with Russell and after about six months I became convinced that it was true that Jesus had paid the price for my rebellion against God, and that since he had risen again, he should be my Lord.”
