Dear Minister of Jesus Christ!
We greatly seek to teach, promote, honor and reward Scriptural Evangelism in this day when it seems so lacking in most modern local Churches (by Ministers, Deacons and Congregation), Bible Schools and Seminaries.
NOTE: In fact, if you know of even one Seminary who does as follows, that we can verify, we will compensate you monetarily! (The following is what we urge all of our 100-plus affiliated Bible Schools to prioritize):
A Bible College or Seminary that;
> > Requires ALL students to do personal Evangelism,
> > In ALL Semesters (earning a 'Minor in Evangelism'),
> > Being paired-with their Bible College Professors and Seminary Administrators, who take Seminary Students out into the 'highways and hedges' 2-3 times weekly, and 'TEACH THEM' personal evangelism, by 'DOING it!'
> > Also requires Seminary Students to "TRAIN NEW CONVERTS" they have won, to become "Soul-Winners themselves" . . . by taking them personally into the 'streets and lanes' of the city just, as their Bible College Professors trained them.
> > Further requires them to "PREACH EVANGELISTICALLY" every week they are in Seminary - preferably every Mid-week, Friday, Saturday or Sunday nights - preaching as Apostle Paul who insisted: "for I determined to know NOTHING among you except Jesus Christ and Him Crucified!"
> > Requires an "EXHAUSTIVE, personal research project" of the Holy Scriptures, studying every single time anyone in the New Testament witnessed to anyone else: who witnessed to whom, the results, how the witnessors' messages were different, what they had in common, and draw conclusions.
> > Also requires an "EXHAUSTIVE, personal research study" of the Holy Scriptures studying Jesus, Paul, and Peter, determining their priorities of (a) time, (b) preaching topics, (c) ministry focus and emphases . . .
. . . and (d) determining the many things they did NOT do, (e) did NOT emphasize and (f) did NOT even mention: then doing a comparative study to "modern Ministers" and their priorities.
> > Lastly for each Seminary Student to "intern" their last year with a local congregation overseeing their "evangelism plan" to (a) focus the Ministry, (b) train the people coordinating as many events as possible, and (c) reporting on the "project": what worked, what didn't and what changes will be made when the "Seminary graduate" goes out into their first Ministry!
Spurgeon School of Evangelism
We carefully set-up the Spurgeon Theological Seminary as a Biblical Institution of Higher Learning using Charles Haddon Spurgeon as a "model" - teaching similar theology - but primarily as a School of Evangelism and Pastoral Leadership.
[NOTE! God, in His great sovereignty, approved Spurgeon to be the most published Minister who ever lived (well over 300-million copies closing in on 400 million). Since he basically parted ways with the Baptist and become "Community, Biblical Non-denominational - with his teachings reaching many branches of Christianity - he seems the ideal model pastor.
As the World's Largest Conservative Bible Seminary System, we extremely want to do as follows:
> > REWARD, enable and empower “The "Preaching Evangelist" with a Doctorate in Evangelism
> > REWARD, enable and empower “The Personal Soul-winner" with a Doctorate in Evangelism
Sadly, many ministers who come to Cambridge Theological Seminary for a Doctorate, really do not qualify for a "Doctor of Divinity." They simply don't have the college, studies, expertise, or experience, for this time-honored and well-defined Degree and Title.
However, since we do want to enhance, enable and empower as many of God's true Bible Ministers as possible, we have set up the Spurgeon Doctorate in Evangelism Program as follows:
Spurgeon Doctorate of Evangelism
The D. Evan. is granted as follows:
> > A "Call them to Future Commitment" . . . rather than
> > A “Reward for Past Achievement”:
This gives EVERY SERIOUS Bible Minister an opportunity for the powerful advantage of a Doctorate Title and Degree!
Does this make sense?
[a] "Call to Future Commitment" for Preaching Evangelist
> > > We require a 'signed-commitment' under God, to call people to Salvation in Christ by preaching in every revival and Gospel preaching opportunity, so long as you shall live to preach the gospel, always proclaiming the Good News of Salvation by God's Great Grace, through Faith, in the name of Jesus Christ!
[b] "Call to Future Commitment" for Personal Soul-Winner
> > > We require a 'signed-commitment' under God, to call people to Christ in personal witnessing and soul-winning, at least once a week, and/or as you have opportunity . . . so long as you shall live to witness the gospel, never failing to share the Good News of Salvation by God's Great Grace, through Faith, in the name of Jesus Christ!
> > > The completion of Five-Lessons on Evangelism;
> > > And One Lesson on the Philosophy of Christ's Ministry
Fellow Ministers, we have an old-time established Gospel Evangelistic Association Member who is so urgent to see this program come to pass . . . with a great burden for America and seeing the decreased emphasis on Evangelists, Evangelism, Evangelistic Crusades, and local Churches with Personal Soul-winning Programs . . .
. . . that they are willing to pay $51 on all applicant's processing fees (of the $151) . . .
. . . leaving only $100 for the Evangelist to invest in adding the Title of Doctor of Evangelism to their name . . . FOR LIFE!
This $100 will bring you a Doctor's Degree in Evangelism - D. Evan. - and a Beautiful Certificate to you door in Hard-Cover Confirmation Mail within 5-days of receiving your application
Fellow Ministers
Even if this is not for you, . . . can you be so kind as to take 2-minutes and tell us what you think of this program . . . and our seeking to promote evangelism by rewarding Preaching Evangelists (often they are not scholars, even as Dr. Billy Graham was not a "scholar" per se ) and the Personal Soul-winners as well?
If you can give us your opinion and/or advice on this program as we go forward, we will appreciate it greatly.
If you have an interest in this "Never-Before . . . Once-in-a-Lifetime" opportunity" . . . please fill out the Application below and email it to us, signing your Commitment to Biblical evangelism and the strong statement of faith!
All for Christ,
Spurgeon School of Evangelism
