Bible workshop

ACORNCAMPS runs a regular Tuesday night Bible workshop for partner church leaders and members who regularly preach or teach on the Bible in some capacity. The double focus is as follows:

• How to understand the main point of a Bible passage for the original readers/hearers
• How to prepare a talk or set of Bible study questions which bring out and apply the main point for today’s readers/hearers

September 2018 sees 2 new developments in the Bible workshop:

• Preaching Practice: every 3rd week two people will have the opportunity to put into practice what they have learned. Each will preach or lead a study around the Philippians passages we have studied together; this is followed by constructive, positive comments to sharpen and improve our ability to be faithful, clear and relevant in our delivery.

• Creating Resources: the aim is to use the workshop to pool knowledge and gifts to create Hungarian resources. These will include a pdf booklet, set of powerpoint slides and teaching videos that can be distributed to Hungarian youth leaders. This 8-wk course will guide a youth group through Paul’s letter to the Philippians understanding it’s original meaning and how that applies to our lives today.
