Evangelism and Bible Study Groups

​Evangelism and Bible Study at HEM Canada are exceptionally impactful, enriched by the integration of the International School of Ministry (ISOM) Bible school curriculum from the USA, which is accessible at www.isom.org. Here’s why these programs stand out:
1.ISOM-Powered Bible School: HEM Canada’s Bible study programs are powered by ISOM, one of the largest and most respected Bible schools globally. ISOM provides a comprehensive, world-class curriculum that equips individuals with deep biblical knowledge and practical ministry skills. The program is designed to cater to believers at all levels, from new converts to seasoned leaders, fostering spiritual growth and a strong foundation in the Word of God.
2.In-Depth Scriptural Understanding: The Bible study sessions at HEM Canada, guided by the ISOM curriculum, offer more than just a surface-level reading of the scriptures. These sessions provide an in-depth exploration of biblical teachings, with a focus on how to apply these principles in everyday life. Participants are encouraged to engage in critical thinking, discussion, and reflection, leading to a transformative understanding of the Bible.
3.Home Church Evangelism: HEM Canada places a strong emphasis on evangelism through the home church model. This approach focuses on small, intimate gatherings where individuals can connect on a personal level, share their faith, and grow together in a close-knit community. The home church model allows for a more personalized and relational approach to evangelism, making it easier to reach people in their immediate environments—friends, family, and neighbors—where they feel most comfortable.
4.Inclusive and Relational Outreach: The home church model of evangelism is inclusive, aiming to reach people from all walks of life within their own homes and neighborhoods. This method builds stronger relationships and trust, as it creates a safe and familiar environment for individuals to explore and embrace the Christian faith.
5.Community and Support: Both the ISOM-powered Bible study and the home church evangelism efforts at HEM Canada are designed to foster strong community bonds. Participants are not only gaining knowledge but are also becoming part of a supportive network of believers who encourage one another in their faith journeys. This sense of community is vital for spiritual growth and provides a solid foundation for living out biblical teachings.
6.Practical Application and Leadership Development: HEM Canada’s programs emphasize the practical application of biblical principles in daily life. The ISOM curriculum is tailored to equip individuals with the skills and knowledge they need to apply their faith in real-world situations, while the home church model encourages participants to take on leadership roles, nurturing others in their spiritual journeys. This dual focus ensures that believers are not only growing in their faith but are also empowered to lead and mentor others.
7.Cultural Sensitivity and Relevance: The programs at HEM Canada are culturally sensitive, ensuring that the teachings are relatable and applicable to people from diverse backgrounds. The ISOM curriculum, combined with the home church evangelism model, bridges cultural gaps and fosters unity within the body of Christ.
8.Continuous Spiritual Growth: With the ISOM curriculum providing deep scriptural insights and the home church model promoting relational evangelism, HEM Canada ensures that participants are continually growing in their faith. This holistic approach allows for sustained spiritual development, equipping individuals to become strong, knowledgeable, and active members of their communities.
