“Saved?” A Tract By PCAF Author for ICEA.


ICEA – Tract…Free for Your Use

 

Saved (Generic Tract)This user-friendly tract is created for PCAF members. The tract is inexpensive to have printed.  Customize this tract on the back page with your church name, address, pastor’s name, order of services, etc. You may print out the master tract, place your information on the back page (inside the blank box), and then scan into your computer. (Please do not alter any other contents in the tract.) Once you have scanned the tract into your computer, you may print out copies on your local computer or have copies made at your print shop.

Here are the following steps to print, let’s say, 100 tracts on your local printer. The master has two tracts set up on an 8.5 x 11 page, so you will print 50 tracts from page 1. Then, place your pages back into your printer the correct way in order to print an additional 50 pages on the opposite side, using page 2. Once you have the printing done, simply cut the pages in two to have a quantity of 100 tracts.

PLEASE CLICK ON THE TEXT BELOW TO
VIEW AND PRINT OUT THE TRACT:
Saved (Generic Tract II)

NOTE: The masters (page 1 and 2) have
two tracts printed on the same page.
Print them the way they are, on both sides,
then cut the 8.5 x 11 page in half
to give you double the quantity.

Researching Our Pentecostal Apostolic History


Finding out where we have come from as Apostolics (outside of the bible) is not an easy task.

Have you ever wanted to know more about the history of Pentecostal revivals, former organizations, pioneers of Pentecost, materials and writings of founding fathers, and other questions about our past? Do you know why we are not only Pentecostal, but are Apostolic, as well?

There is a website that has answers and resources to many questions about who we are and where we have come from.

Check it out at http://www.apostolicarchives.com

(As with any source, we suggest you research and check with other
sources to verify the accuracy of the information on any website.)

A Report Card for Teachers-In-Training (Handout)


WILL YOU BE OFFERING A CLASS FOR YOUR TEACHERS-IN-TRAINING? They would love to have something written, showing them their strengths and weaknesses. Or…maybe you would like to offer your current teachers a report so they can gauge how they are doing.

To get started, have a meeting and hand out a card to all teachers and explain each entry. Tell teachers that the superintendent or a representative will plan to visit his/her class and grade them on their abilities. After the class is over, they will receive a copy of the report. Make yourself available to each teacher to talk about their grades. You will find the card is based on Elder Mike Wilson’s “The Seven “Ps” Of Effective Teaching”:

1- Personal Teaching
(teaches out of experience; can identify with the biblical author)

2- People-oriented Teaching
(mindful of ministering to people)

3- Purposeful Teaching
(able to reach definite goals in teaching)

4- Protective Teaching
(doesn’t allow class to drift)

5- Persuasive Teaching
(has ability to influence the thoughts of students with the Word of God)

6- Powerful, Repetitive Teaching
(ability to repeat points without boring class)

7- Progressive Teaching
(teaches with movement, like a good story)

The sample card was created with 4 cards on an 8.5 x 11 sheet.
After printing the cards, they need to be cut into fourths.

You will find a sample of a Teacher-In-Training Report Card below:
