📖 Course Overview
A New Life is more than a study—it’s a training ground for disciple-makers. Each participant will learn how to communicate the gospel simply and powerfully, forming those they evangelize into disciples who can, in turn, disciple others.
Since the heart of disciple-making is the effective communication of the gospel, the course begins with personal evangelism training and immerses participants in kingdom prayer and evangelistic calling.
At the same time, evangelism isn’t just an event—it’s a way of life. This course emphasizes gospel-centered living, meditation in Scripture, and practical witness as the foundation for ongoing spiritual growth. Participants will learn not only to preach the gospel to themselves daily, but also to share it with fellow believers and those whom God brings into their lives.
The course is structured around:
• Simple & Uncomplicated Evangelism – Learning how to share the gospel in ways that are clear, relational, and Spirit-led.
• Accountability & Encouragement – A framework that fosters teamwork, prayer, and shared experiences in gospel witness.
This course will equip you to live, share, and teach the gospel as a disciple-maker, helping others move from knowing the gospel message to tacitly living under its power.
🎯 The Goal of A New Life Course
The goal is to create a community of grace where God’s people tacitly know the overarching and foundational meta-narrative of the gospel—a message that reveals the eternal, other-centered love of the Triune God. By centering our lives on God’s gospel promise and internalizing its power through the Spirit of Christ, we fulfill in Christ the legal promise that once defined us.
This transformation does not end when the course is completed—it continues as we instinctively share the love of God we have received and are receiving through His gospel—within our families, among fellow believers, and with those whom the Sovereign Lord brings into our lives—until Christ returns.
As part of this transformation, through the assignments of writing and sharing our conversion testimonies and present value of the gospel testimonies, we aim to replace Jack Miller’s A Faith Worth Sharing in future versions of A New Life with our own real-life examples of how we have shared the gospel with others in everyday situations.

How do we take this course if we reside in the US?
Thanks for asking Richard. Right now I’m in development mode of the class, but I’m also open to the Spirit’s moving. If enough people wanted to take the class via online, I’d be glad to teach, lead, and oversee it. I typically think of one person is asking a questions others are wanting to ask the same question. So if you don’t mind, I will post you question online and see if others are also interested and get back to you. Is that okay for me to do? Again, thanks for asking. Mike
