LOCAL APPLICATION AND ‘HOMEWORK’

The hope is that between each of the teaching sessions in Ardington, you will…

  1. Be able to apply what you’re learning in some way – the various speakers may suggest some ways you could do this.
  2. Meet with your local mentor at least once to ask questions and apply things specifically to your own situation, plus following up on what you have done to apply previous sessions!
  3. Listen to a talk on MP3 (or read a short booklet) to give you some more biblical teaching on the topics covered. This is an important part of the course so that you are being trained in biblical thinking about these topics not just their practical outworking. You will also be able to discuss these with your local mentors.
    A list of the MP3s and where to download then can be found on the reverse of this sheet.

Preparation for each session

Typically before each session there is a 1 hour talk to listen to, which is available as an MP3 download – in most cases notes are also available and having these in front of you will help you get more out of listening.

In one case, we recommend reading a booklet from the Salt & Light 20:20 vision series – we hope to have some of these available to buy but there is a link to the Salt & Light shop below.

We will send out the links by email when we have all your contact details so you can simply click on them. They each go to a file on dropbox so you may get a warning about downloading an unchecked file from the internet and you need to allow this!

We recommend you save the files rather than opening online so that you have them for future reference.
