Becoming a Contagious Christian is a proven course designed to equip believers for effective evangelism in today's world. It avoids stereotyped approaches that feel intimidating to many Christians. Instead, it shows ordinary believers how they can share the gospel in a natural and powerful way while being the person God made them to be. Each session's exercises, discussions, self-assessments, and video vignettes give step-by-step guidance to help participants become effective communicators for Christ to those around them. Used with nearly 1,000,000 people, Becoming a Contagious Christian is an innovative and unparalleled program for training Christians in relational evangelism.

What they thought:

"In their heart of hearts I think all true followers of Christ long to become contagious Christians. Deep down they sense that there isnt anything as rewarding as opening a person up to God's love and truth. This course will help build the values, skills and confidence needed to do just that."
Bill Hybels, Senior Pastor, Willow Creek

"We have used the Contagious Christian course in the division. It makes evangelism possible for everyone and blows away the myth that only those with the spiritual gift of evangelism can do it. It is a great tool and one that I have personally used, scribbling on a note-pad, to lead someone to faith. Let’s have more of this to grow God’s Kingdom."
Ivor Telfer, Salvation Army West Scotland Division

We are using “Becoming a Contagious Christian” as an ongoing resource. It has taken off a great deal of pressure from the shoulders of our people. The expectation of instant results was a source of disappointment when some other courses were used and the expected results were not achieved. Now evangelism is viewed in a much more relaxed way, while still maintaining a sense of urgency."
John Hollick, Elim Church
