Help spread the word

Practical guides for anyone who wants to help: hand out a card, start a small group, or share a lesson. You don't need to be an expert, and nothing is asked of you in return.

If these studies have helped you, you may be wondering how to pass them on. These guides are for you. They aren't lessons, and they don't count toward your progress. They're simply practical ideas, from people who have asked the same question.

Why help?

When Yeshua sent out His disciples, He told them: "Freely you received; freely give" Matthew 10:8. What you've learned here was given to you freely. Passing it on is the natural next step.

That's how God's Word has always traveled: from one person to the next. Paul told Timothy: "And the things you heard from me through many witnesses, entrust these to faithful people who will be able to teach others also" 2 Timothy 2:2. Paul, Timothy, faithful people, others: four links in one chain.

And Paul asked the question every one of us has to answer: "How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how will they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without someone preaching? And how will they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: 'How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news of peace, who bring good news of good things!'" Romans 10:14-15. Someone brought the good news to you. Now your feet can carry it a little farther.

You don't need to be an expert

You don't have to be a pastor, have a degree, or know Hebrew and Greek. The lessons do the teaching. Your part is to put them in someone's hands, or to sit down and read them together with a few friends.

You don't need to convince anyone

You don't have to argue, and you don't have to win anyone over. Paul wrote: "I planted, Apollos watered, but Elohim was giving the growth. So neither the one who plants is anything, nor the one who waters, but Elohim who gives the growth" 1 Corinthians 3:6-7. We plant and water. God does the rest.

No pressure

There's nothing to sign up for, no one to report to, and no money is asked of you. Help as much or as little as you can, whenever you can. Even one card handed out, or one lesson shared, is a seed.

The guides

Thank you for wanting to help. May God bless every seed you plant.

Lessons

  • Hand out the "You've been served" card: A small card for those who teach the Bible. Smile, hand it over, and go. No debate needed: the card leads to a kind explanation, between them and God.
  • Print the cards: Print the cards at home on card stock, or send one file to a print shop. A few simple steps make sure both sides line up and the QR code works.
  • Start a small study group: Three people, once a week, through the whole course at your own pace. Nobody has to be the expert: the lessons teach, and you search the Scriptures together.
  • How a meeting works, and a pace for the whole course: Read the week's lessons on your own, then meet to pray, share, read and discuss. Choose a pace that fits your group: about 10, 20 or 40 weeks.
  • A weekly hello before Shabbat: A short video call every Friday before sunset: not a service, just a time to say hello, see how everyone is doing and answer a few questions.
  • Watch the comments, and find the real questions: As our videos and posts grow, one person can't read every comment. Volunteers can take a few each, skip the noise, and log the real questions so we can answer them.
  • More ways to help: Share a lesson, give an invitation card, pray, tell us what helped or what's wrong, and above all, live what you learn.
