Marketplace Ambassador Training
|
This online study material comes from CBMC (Christian Business Men's Connection). This is a fantastic ministry that equips men to share Christ with other men, not just in the business world, but in every sphere of life. Having said that, they do an excellent job of providing teaching and resources to help men bear witness for Christ in the marketplace.
You will need to register at their website so you can make use of their "Marketplace Ambassador Advancement System." Once you read the material and "RESOLVE" to become a Marketplace Ambassador, you can click the "resolve" button, which will take you to the Ten Attributes of a Marketplace Ambassador. This is the study that we'll be doing together. Each time we meet we'll focus on that month's attribute. Each lesson contains reading material and some have short videos as well. The entire study can be done online (though you are able to print it as well). And, it's free! All of this will be done through the CBMC website. If you choose to study this material with me, we will meet together monthly, in person or online via Zoom, to discuss that month's material, what we've learned, how we can apply it, etc. This will be a great way to learn together as well as to encourage one another and help hold one another accountable to put our new training into practice. |
The "syllabus" below is from the CBMC website and contains only links back to the CBMC website. I've included it just to let you know what we'll be focusing on each month. I'm indebted to CBMC for their outstanding ministry to men and the awesome resources they provide so we can become faithful disciples (and disciple-makers) of Jesus Christ.
In addition to the online materials, you will want to have a Bible, as well as a journal for note-taking. Lastly, let me encourage you to support the CBMC with your prayers and financial gifts. They provide a tremendous gift to Christian men and supporting their ministry is an key expression of gratitude. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at d.tedder@southsidemethodist.org. Blessings, Dale |
