What is EMI? Endurance Ministry Institute is a set of six classes and two practice sessions designed to equip you with the practical ability to articulate Christs story in your life and to give a clear, concise, convincing Gospel presentation. It may be done in an evening and full day, or in a weekend-long retreat format. It can be given anywhere someone is willing to host it.
Who is EMI for & who can attend? EMI is specifically targeted toward endurance athletes. However, the bulk of the information and hands-on practice is directly applicable to any Christian who wants to improve their ability to verbally share Christboth by telling Christs story in his/her own life and by learning a simple one-verse Gospel presentation. We strongly encourage spouses and families to attend together. Wed be thrilled if youd invite your entire small group Bible study or fellowship group (or whatever you else you may call it), and any other believers in your circle of friends.
Tell me about previous EMIs. Participants comments can be found on the reviews page. Reports from previous EMIs can be found here: South Carolina in Feb 09, Phoenix in Oct 09 and Racine, WI in Nov 09.
What are the classes like? Each class is 50 minutes long. They include large and small group discussion, skits, video, humor and slideshows as well as some lecture. Two of the eight classes are simply time set aside for you and a partner to practice talking through your story and your Gospel presentation.
Who will be giving the training? Seminary-trained endurance athletes who have spent the last few seasons carefully studying and experimenting with how to reach endurance athletes for Christ have designed the course of study. Click here for the bio of Slick and Donna Douglass. Classes may be given by them or by another FCA-E leader who has worked closely with them.
