Prólogo

Se requiere un instructor

• Un adulto que tiene destreza en predicar O
• Alguien con la especialidad de Predícalo, nivel avanzado O
• El pastor

Nota

a diferencia de muchas especialidades JA, esta especialidad no tiene requisitos «teóricos de conocimiento» que se clasifican por separado de los requisitos que conllevan a la acción. Por lo contrario, los requisitos para la realización de la especialidad se figuran categóricamente.

1

Preparación espiritual

1a

¿Qué es la preparación espiritual intencional?

Antes de ir delante de los demás para compartir el evangelio, primero debe ir delante de Dios y encontrar el evangelio. Preparación espiritual para la predicación es igual de importante como escribir el sermón o preparar la presentación. Llénese del Espíritu Santo y otros verán a Dios dentro de usted y van a querer saber más.

1b

Discutir con el instructor el papel de la preparación espiritual en la evangelización.

Pocos predicadores son autodidacta, y la Iglesia Adventista tiene un sistema amplio de capacitación de predicadores profesionales a través de la universidad, la tutoría mientras que está en el campo y luego el Seminario. Para el aspirante de predicador laico, un mentor/instructor es igualmente importante.

La siembra de la semilla

2a

¿Qué es la siembra de semillas?

La siembra de semillas es una actividad que abre el camino para la evangelización. Es algo de naturaleza secular y por lo tanto no amenazante para las personas que son anti-religión. Las personas que normalmente no asisten a un programa evangelístico pueden asistir a una de estas actividades. Si tiene éxito, una actividad de siembra de semillas deja una impresión positiva en los participantes acerca de la iglesia y establece un nivel de confianza. Estas actividades son principalmente acerca de crear amistades donde la conversación puede convertirse en asuntos espirituales en el momento apropiado.

2b

Nombrar cinco ejemplos de «la siembra de semillas»

• Seminario sobre la depresión
• Seminario sobre las finanzas personales
• Clases de computadoras
• Clases de cómo tener una vida saludable
• Clases de automecánica
• Cuidado de los niños

2c

Participar en por lo menos un evento de «siembra de semillas»

Aunque esta especialidad requiere participar en un evento de siembra de semillas, es una buena práctica hacer dos eventos de siembra de semillas entre cada serie evangelística.

3

Invitación – Demostrar y/o explicar tres formas de invitar a alguien a una reunión evangelística.

• Llamar por teléfono
• Preguntar in persona (visitar)
• Correo electrónico

No importa cómo uno los invita, ellos estarán más dispuestos a venir si:

• Ofrece ir con ellos a las reuniones (o que usted está dando el mensaje)
• Se ponen de acuerdo que le va a recoger y transportar
• Explica por qué las reuniones valen la pena de su tiempo
• Tienen un interés en lo espiritual, posiblemente desarrollado por conversaciones que ustedes han tenido antes
• Han aceptado anteriormente una invitación a un evento social de la iglesia
• Más importante, ya ha establecido una amistad con este invitado (recuerde los esfuerzos de sembrar semillas)

Comprender el presupuesto

a. Elaborar un presupuesto con el pastor o líder del equipo de evangelización

Para esta actividad, considere las partidas presupuestarias que figuran más abajo en este requisito, cualquier costo único a su situación, costos de viaje y alojamiento si la serie está lejos de su hogar y, por supuesto, no olvide presupuestar a los ingresos también. De alguna manera tendrá que pagar todos los costos de la serie.

b. Saber cuánto dinero hay para trabajar y cómo ajustar la planificación en función del presupuesto

Las fuentes de dinero pueden incluir el presupuesto de la iglesia, fondos de conferencias de evangelización, recaudación de fondos específicos y ofrendas en las reuniones. Casi todos los artículos se pueden ajustar en su presupuesto según sea necesario, según su situación.

c. A menos ya estén todos disponibles, averiguar los costos de:

i

Proyector, computadora, luces, sistema de sonido, etc. Piense en lo que necesita y hable con su instructor y la gerencia local.

ii

Pregunte acerca de diferentes cantidades de material impreso. El proceso de instalación es una gran parte del costo, con copias incrementales siendo un costo pequeño. En otras palabras, 500 páginas no serán mucho menos que 2500. Aunque puede comprobar con las impresoras locales, asegúrese de preguntar en la oficina de su asociación de ofertas pre-negociadas.

iii

Tendrá que investigar los precios de mandar correo masivo y correo directo. Generalmente correos directos se pueden enviar a los códigos postales sea para residencias o negocios, o ambos, y se puede obtener mapas y recuentos de cabeza de familia/negocios desde el sitio web de la oficina de correos. La preparación de su correo puede ser importante para conseguir las mejores tarifas.

También puede investigar periódicos comunitarios gratuitos y servicios de entrega de volantes como un método alternativa de entrega de volantes.

iv

Mientras que los requisitos especifican la televisión y la radio, no debe restringirse a estos medios. Otras oportunidades de publicidad pueden incluir anuncios de Internet, los blogs, Facebook y Twitter, vallas publicitarias y otros medios de comunicación al aire libre, letreros en las avenidas, comunicados de prensa y otros métodos.

No quiere comprar publicidad a nivel nacional para una serie local. Estaciones de cable locales son más el estilo apropiado.

La radio local puede ser sorprendentemente barata si tiene flexibilidad de la hora del día. Pregunte sobre el espacio remanente (hora vendida en una base de espacio disponible, donde la estación de radio toca sus anuncios cuando tienen tiempo, cobrando sólo para los anuncios dados).

Consider the type of station you work with. Do you want to target Christian Radio listeners, or maybe News listeners or various types of secular music? The easy listening station attracts a different demographic than the Christian station does, so consider your ideal audience.

When comparing media quotes remember to break everything down by the cost per thousand impressions and discard impressions outside your reasonable drawing area. 30 seconds of exposure to one hundred thousand listeners within 15 km of your event is worth far more than 30 seconds of exposure to a two hundred thousand listeners 75% of which are located 100 km away from the event.

While not in the requirements, you might also try geographically and interest based internet ads on a site like Facebook.com. With Facebook you can narrow down your audience in really interesting ways. For example, you could run a young person focused series and target under 25 people with an interest in religion who live in your city. Technology is presenting all kinds of interesting opportunities.

v

If using an Adventist Church this is not an issue but if renting another church, hall or venue there is likely going to be cost. Consider the cost of various venues and be prepared to negotiate.

Some venues may not accept an evangelistic series for legal, political, theological, or policy reasons. A famous example occurred when John Carter was about to start a series in Kiev in 1995 - and lost his venue at the last minute. A lot of prayer and some visits to high level government contacts saved the series which resulted in 3,488 baptisms and the formation of over two dozen new churches in a city that only had one Adventist Church before.

5

Conocer la ley/código en relación con la celebración de reuniones públicas en el área.

In democratic countries there are few restrictions, mainly the venue should comply with firecodes. If you are using a church or public hall there is nothing to worry about.

In other countries permits are required. Check with your Pastor or other knowledge person.

6

Equipo de conocimientos - Hacer una lista, describir el uso y la atención especializada de los equipos necesarios en una serie de evangelización basada en los medios de comunicación, como los siguientes:

6a

Proyector

Conocer el cuidado adecuado de los equipos

Cómo protegerlos del polvo (especialmente en los lugares rurales)

Demostrar la capacidad para conectarse correctamente a la computadora y operarla

Know proper care of equipment

How to protect from dust (especially in 3rd world countries)

Dust fries projectors. Keep your projector in its bag when not actively in use and blow out the projector occasional. Heat and lack of circulation also fries projectors, so be sure you do not block the fan which can cause the projector to overheat, shut down in the middle of the sermon (not a good thing) or burn out the bulb. Always make sure you have all the cables and a spare bulb in the projector bag.

Demonstrate ability to properly connect to computer and operate

Given the variety of equipment available we can not give specific guidance. If you need assistance check the manufacturers website or the equipment manual.

6b

Computadora

Conocer el cuidado adecuado (protección del polvo, etc.)

Demostrar la capacidad de conectarla y usarla con el proyector

Entender el programa para el uso de una «pantalla partida»

Estar familiarizado con los diversos adaptadores de enchufe para el uso en otros países

Know proper care (protection from dust etc.)

Computers work best when they are protected from dirt, dust, being dropped and other abuse.

Demonstrate ability to hook up and use with projector.

The variety of equipment available means we can not provide specific guidance here. Check the manual online if you are having difficulty.

Understand the program for using a “split screen”

Similarly, you may need to consult the helps for the software. You will want to fully understand the presentation software and have an assistant present well versed in the software ready to assist during your presentations. The devil works overtime on computers during evangelism, so the time to learn the software is long before you stand up to preach.

Be familiar with the various plug adapters for use in other countries

International Travellers know that electrical systems in different countries use various plug styles, voltages and hertz. Your plugs may not fit and your equipment may not run correctly (or at all) or may be damaged if you are not aware of the differences and prepare accordingly. It is easier to get travel adapters from Amazon or another online retailer BEFORE you find yourself 3 hours into the jungle trying to charge your laptop off a Honda generator with the wrong plug.

Here is a list of the types of power in various countries: http://kropla.com/electric2.htm

6c

Dispositivo para invertir la corriente

A power inverter, or inverter, is an electronic device or circuitry that changes direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC). The input voltage, output voltage and frequency, and overall power handling, are dependent on the design of the specific device or circuitry. A power inverter can be entirely electronic or may be a combination of mechanical effects (such as a rotary apparatus) and electronic circuitry. Static inverters do not use moving parts in the conversion process.

For purposes of this Honor, you may need a power inverter to power your computer and projector off batteries in a situation where regular a/c power is not available (remote location, tent etc). Car batteries are a potential source of reliable portable power but to use it for electronics or lights you need an inverter.

Preparación del sermón - Utilizando los sermones evangelistas en pantalla partida:

7a

Demostrar la capacidad para editar

Follow the instructions provided with the program or the software helps.

7b

Usar la «traducción de primera vez» y aprender el espaciamiento

We believe this to be a very specific reference to the ShareHim program. Follow the provided instructions if you need to translate the presentations.

7c

Trabajar con un intérprete*

You should seek guidance from your instructor or someone who is experienced at working with a translator.

7d

Practicar el sermón de tres a cinco veces en voz alta con un intérprete*

Among other reasons, you will need to have a good idea of when the translator has completed the thought before you carry on to the next thought.

7e

Trabajar con el instructor para el asesoramiento y las aportaciones para mejorar la presentación.

An excellent program of complete multimedia sermons is offered by Sharehim.org ShareHim has resources on exactly how to meet these requirements.

Obteniendo decisiones — llamados al frente

8a

¿Qué es un llamado al frente?

A segment, usually at the end of a message, where the members of the congregation are invited to come to the front and give their life over to God. The altar call may be for people that want to discuss baptism or for a lesser commitment like letting go of one sin in your life. There may be multiple altar calls in a series of meetings.

Traditionally preachers use soft music, prayer, and spoken word to encourage people to come to the front. Elders and other pastors may be employed to pray with people who come forward and collect their names and contact information.

In mass media (radio, TV, satellite) evangelism a virtual altar call is often used. Since the audience can't literally come to the front of the room they are invited to call in or write or go online to respond to the altar call, but the purpose is the same.

8b

¿Cuáles son algunos de los componentes principales de un llamado al frente?

An altar call is a practice in some evangelical Christian churches in which those who wish to make a new spiritual commitment to Jesus Christ are invited to come forward publicly. It is so named because the supplicants gather at the altar located at the front of the church building. In the Old Testament, an altar was where sacrifices were made. So, the name "altar call" refers to a believer "offering" themselves on an altar to God, as in Romans 12:1:

"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service."

Most altar calls occur at the end of an evangelical address. The invitation may be referred to as an "altar call" even if there is no actual altar present. Many preachers make use of the altar call; notable examples include Billy Graham, Benny Hinn, Franklin Graham and Reinhard Bonnke. Congregations often sing a hymn, usually with a theme of invitation or decision, during the altar call. Some churches make use of the sinner's prayer, which people who come forward to be "saved" are asked to recite. It is sometimes said by the invitee that those who come forth are going to receive Jesus Christ as their Savior. This is a ritual in which the supplicant makes a prayer asking for his sins to be forgiven, acknowledges Jesus as the risen Son of God and pledges his/her devotion to Jesus and to live thereafter following Christ's teachings. This is often called being born again. (source: Wikipedia Altar Call)

Reunión evangelística de seguimiento

10a

¿Qué significa el término discípulo?

The word disciple can be used both as a noun and as a verb.

When used as a noun, "disciple" means a follower A disciple of Jesus Christ is someone who follows Jesus in their daily life, growing in faith and reaching others with the gospel.

When used as a verb, "disciple" means to teach someone to become a faithful follower of Jesus Christ. Discipling a person does not end when they accept Jesus, it is a lifelong journey. New disciples need continued instruction after accepting Jesus, and they also need to find ways to serve Him. Discipling means finding ways a new believer may serve. The best way to do this is by finding which gifts they have received from the Holy Spirit, and then finding ways they can use those gifts in His service. New believers will not automatically find this on their own.

It is important that a person serve the Lord using the gifts conferred by the Spirit. New believers sometimes think that if they do not get up and preach, or go door-to-door handing out pamphlets, that they are failures. They need to understand that different people have different roles, and those roles are given by the Spirit. Yes, some people will get up and preach or go door-to-door, but others may have been selected to work behind the scenes. Effective witness needs all kinds of workers.

For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function, so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another. Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them:
-- Romans 12:4-6a (NKJV)

Spiritual gifts are listed in the Bible primarily in Romans 12, 1 Corinthians 12, and Ephesians 4. An Internet search for "Spiritual gifts inventory" will find several sites having the purpose of discovering these gifts. This is usually done in the form of a quiz, and can be quite effective.

As always, please evaluate any site you decide to use very carefully before sending new believers there.
