announcing the brand new goodseed.com

We’re still unpacking but please come in!

We’re excited to announce a brand new goodseed.com. Over the years, as our ministry has grown, we needed an easier way to keep you updated. The new website is designed to do just that.

You know when you move into a new home, it takes a while before all the boxes are unpacked and all the furniture is in the right place. So it is with our new website. We’re still fine-tuning and adding to it based on feedback. We have additional content coming soon: articles on how to be better ambassadors for Christ, online training and more. So check back often!

To get acquainted with our new website, why not take a three-minute video tour:

TERM Seminar in Quebec

TERM Seminar, Quebec

(Voir la description en français au bas de la page)

When it comes to sharing the gospel, many of us are unsure of what to say or whether we should even try at all. Some of us quote John 3:16 or pass out gospel tracts. We appeal to the fact that God has a wonderful plan for a person’s life. But in recent years our efforts have often been met with blank stares or harsh criticism. As to those who do confess Christ, it seems many fall by the wayside or show no fruit of understanding in their lives. Some believers secretly wonder about the power of the gospel and whether it even works.

The GoodSeed® TERM™ Seminar is a time to stop and rethink evangelism in the context of our diverse, ever-changing world. The seminar takes participants into Scripture to see what it has to say about evangelism methodology. In the process there springs to light an approach that Jesus used on the road to Emmaus. The architecture of The Emmaus Road Message (the message Jesus shared on the road to Emmaus) has proven effective—whether we are engaging the confused, the seeker or the hardened.

The facilitators of the seminar will show participants how to teach the gospel using the book By This Name and the accompanying workbook, along with visual aids, so that they in turn will be able to teach it to others.

Important note: This seminar in French will be held over two weekends. Participants must be able to attend all six sessions as the flow of material builds upon previous sessions.

Dates:
March 13, 14, 15 and March 27, 28, 29 (Six sessions in total)

Schedule:
— Thursday evenings from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.
— Friday eveningsfrom 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.
— Saturday froms 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Location:
Église Évangélique d’Aujourd’hui
1220, Avenue des Pensées
Bécancour, QC G9H 2T2

Cours de formation Par ce nom

Quand vient le moment de partager l’Évangile, souvent nous ne savons pas quoi dire ou même si nous devrions essayer de dire quelque chose. Certaines personnes citent Jean 3.16 ou distribuent de petites brochures d’évangélisation. Parfois, nous disons aux gens que Dieu a un plan merveilleux pour leur vie. Mais depuis quelques années, la réaction que nous recevons est un regard sans expression ou encore une critique sévère. Et ceux qui font profession de foi en Christ sont souvent laissés à eux mêmes ou ne manifestent aucun fruit dans leur vie, ce qui indique qu’ils n’ont pas vraiment compris le message. Certains croyants doutent secrètement de la puissance et de l’efficacité de l’Évangile.

Le cours qu’offre BonneSemence est une occasion de nous arrêter pour repenser l’évangélisation dans le contexte de la pluralité de notre monde changeant. Ce cours amène les participants dans la Bible pour voir ce qu’elle dit au sujet de la méthodologie de l’évangélisation. Ce faisant, une approche utilisée par Jésus sur le chemin d’Emmaüs en ressort. C’est une approche qui s’est montrée efficace pour communiquer l’Évangile à une diversité de gens : ceux qui sont perplexes, ceux qui cherchent et ceux qui sont endurcis.

Les animateurs du cours montreront aux participants comment enseigner l’Évangile en se servant du livre Par ce nom et du cahier d’exercices ainsi que d’aides visuelles pour qu’à leur tour les participants puissent l’enseigner à d’autres.

Remarque : Ce cours en français sera donné sur deux fins de semaine. Les participants doivent pouvoir assister aux six blocs d’enseignement, car chaque bloc s’appuie sur le bloc précédent.

Dates :
6 blocs d’enseignement
Les 13, 14 et 15 mars ainsi que les 27, 28 et 29 mars

Horaire :
— Le jeudi soir, de 19 h à 22 h
— Le vendredi soir, de 19 h à 22 h
— Le samedi, de 8 h à 16 h

Endroit :
Église Évangélique d’Aujourd’hui
1220, avenue des Pensées
Bécancour (Québec) G9H 2T2
http://eglisedaujourdhui.ca/

Coût : 15 $ pour le livre Par ce nom et le cahier d’exercices.
Chaque participant est responsable de trouver son propre logement et de payer ses repas.

Pour vous inscrire ou pour obtenir plus d’information, communiquez avec Gaetan ou Ivy Pilon.
Téléphone : 1-888-314-3623
Courriel : [email protected]

Pour vous inscrire en ligne, veuillez ajouter ce cours à votre panier et vous rendre à la caisse. Aucuns frais ne seront ajoutés à votre compte. Veuillez fournir une adresse courriel et un numéro de téléphone afin que nous puissions communiquer avec vous. Merci.

 

Tabernacle Furniture Sets back in stock

Tabernacle Furniture Sets
We want to say thanks to all the people who have waited patiently for us to get a new shipment of Tabernacle furniture sets in. This furniture set is part of the Advanced ToolBox of Worldview Rethink and believers have been using them to help teach the gospel clearly.

The process of producing a new batch isn’t easy. We had designed and produced the molds some years ago but each time the manufacturer produces a new batch, there’s lot of checking to do to ensure each piece turns out perfect.

We’re happy to announce that our US, Canada and Australia offices are now stocked and sets are on their way to the UK office.

International office expansion: Well on the way!

International-office-expansion-fund-progressIt’s been like this since the beginning of GoodSeed.

The more tools and training we provide, the more requests we receive from believers around the globe who share our vision for communicating the Bible’s message in a way that makes sense. And God continues to go before us, steadily expanding His ministry through His people and His resources.

You may recall in July of last year, we first shared the pressing need to purchase and build-out the International Office and warehouse in Alberta, Canada, which we are currently renting. We shared that we would trust the Lord to raise 1.2 million CAD by the end of January 2014. From our perspective, it would take a miracle.

Pray with us for studies around the world

The Stranger on the Road to Emmaus (German)

It’s always exciting to receive prayer requests from believers around the world who have started a Bible study or who have just given away a book to someone interested in finding out more about Jesus.

We know there are studies happening in far-flung places across the globe. In these past few weeks, we’ve been praying for studies in Singapore, Thailand, Germany, Malawi, Canada and the US. Could you pray with us for the people who have been given a book and for those who are part of a study, that they will take the time to learn and understand the meaning of the empty cross and the empty tomb. Pray with us that this understanding will be a life-changing one.

Before picture… look for the after picture in a future post.

This week our USA staff are working together to remodel the GoodSeed office in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. A little paint, new carpet, and improved display areas will go a long way to freshening up the main entrance. When completed, it will be better suited for when people from the community stop by to visit or to replenish their “Be Ready Boxes.” We are having fun working on something different from our usual jobs!
