Communications Principles Manual

This manual, in conjunction with the Communication Principles tapes is designed to help develop your communication skills in the areas of evangelistic talks, team meetings, LTC, College Life, Classics, free speech, Bible studies, church meetings and classroom lecturing.

Most of our training materails will center on classroom lectures, because form the basic classroom preparation and outline (form) any other kind of talk can be prepared.
Later, during the training week, we will teach you how to adapt classroom lecturing to other types of speaking situations. But, for, now let's think through the benefits of classroom lecturing.

Over many years of training staff, students and lay men and women, we have asked them why lecturing in the classroom arena is strategic. Here are some of their answers:

"It helps fulfill personal and ministry objectives."

"It helps combat heresy in the classroom."

"It breaks faith-barriers."

"It exposes professors to biblical information."

"It helps us think of professors as collegues rather than as superiors."

"It helps students see us as academically credible."

"It can provide instant rapport when we meet students from the classroom later on campus."

"It allows instant team meetings each quater with professors who will have us back."

"It helps the image of Campus Crusade on campus."

"It helps us reach the 70% of all American university students who commute to college."

"It helps students in the ministry develop boldness in speaking out for Christ in class."

"It is an excellent filtering system. The contacts from classroom lecturing have been many and lasting."

"The research done in preparing for classroom lectures can be used for other talks, teaching situations, one to one conversations and personal growth."

"It provides challenge and variety in ministry."

It is with great excitement that we look forward to our time together for training in Communication Principles.
