The Evangelical Alliance (EA) has announced the launch of a latest set of resources geared toward introducing the gospel to people of South Asian heritage.
“Discovering Jesus” was first launched in 2014, and has now been updated for the present cultural climate. The course, the EA says, is suitable for anyone from a Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist or Muslim background and addresses common questions and perspectives.
Rani Joshi, the South Asian Forum coordinator and project lead, said, “As a young South Asian girl, I wasn’t sure the Christian faith included someone who looked like me.
“That’s why Discovering Jesus feels so timely, as we explore faith, identity and culture. As I prayed about this project, I sensed God whisper, ‘invite them to the marriage banquet’ (Revelation 19:9).
“This isn’t just one other resource, it’s an invite for those of Asian heritage to reply the query Jesus asks, ‘Who do you say I’m?’”
The programme involves engaging with the life and message of Jesus over an eight-week period.
Discovering Jesus is discussion-oriented and geared toward making a welcoming and informal environment for non-Christians to find out about core Christian beliefs and, hopefully, embrace the Christian faith.
The approach taken is apologetic and deals with questions like whether Christianity is a “Western Religion”.
Gavin Calver, CEO of the EA said, “I’m so excited concerning the launch of Discovering Jesus and am praying for this course to have a big impact in the times ahead. It is so timely and shares the gospel message in a very accessible, helpful and powerful way.”
