S.H.A.R.E. INSTITUTE  

Back to the Sports & Rec Plus Home Page

 CONCEPT:  S.H.A.R.E. is an acrostic that stands for Serving Him And Reaching Everyone.  We serve Christ by ministering to all kinds of people with the goal of reaching everyone in the world with the message of Christ.  Our focus will be mainly on the impoverished Third World people groups who know that they are hungering for a better quality of life economically and perhaps don’t know that they are also hungering for a better quality of life which can only be found in Christ.  In that regard we will give them what they want, which is livelihood skills training, in order to present them with what they need, which is Christ.

 AFFILIATION:  S.H.A.R.E. Institute falls under the direction and supervision of Sports & Rec Plus.  Its purpose and function are compatible to and coordinated with the ministries of Share Lab, Share Ministry, and other sports and recreation outreach ministries of Sports & Rec Plus.

 ORGANIZATION:  S.H.A.R.E. Institute is a training organization that is directed by Barbara Mitchell.  Those who feel called by God to participate in sharing skills and thereby sharing Christ will make application.  Upon acceptance, they will be trained in the skill that is needed on the field and how to present the Gospel message in a non-threatening, life-style manner that complements the particular skill they are teaching.  Effective teaching methods and evangelism styles will be taught and rehearsed by the students before their certification as a S.H.A.R.E. Institute Master Teacher.

 PLAN OF ATTACK (ACTION!): 

1.      Sports & Rec Plus will identify the mission points that are requesting the ministry of S.H.A.R.E. Institute.

 2.      Sports & Rec Plus will publicize the need for Master Teachers including dates and places.  It will distribute and receive applications, and evaluate them for acceptance as they relate to the need.  Prospective Master Teachers will be accepted for training both in response to a specific need and also in anticipation of possible future need.  Our focus is on training for the mission field and not just teaching crafts for their sake alone.

 3.      There will be a charge to cover costs to Sports & Rec Plus for the use of the facility, teaching supplies, and other expenses directly related to the class.  Grants or donations may partially cover these costs.

 4.      All training begins with a basic class that will explain the concept and the techniques of witnessing that are unique to this format.

 5.      Upon completion of training, the student will be certified as a Master Teacher and will receive a certificate and a Cloisonne lapel pin.  We recommend that the local church hold a commissioning service for the purpose of presenting the certificate and pin to those who successfully complete the training.

 6.      We strongly encourage participants to become qualified in more than one skill because their versatility will enhance their effectiveness on the mission field.
