We're honored to provide training and resources to our military.
Military chaplains and missionaries to the military are uniquely positioned to assist services members and their families with spiritual guidance and support. The flexibility of Good Soil Evangelism & Discipleship resources make them a good choice for military chaplains.
The Story of Hope
An Evangelistic or Discipleship Bible Study Workbook
The flexibility of The Story of Hope makes it an ideal choice for use by military chaplains.
- It is time-flexible—can be used in brief presentations or for more in-depth Bible studies.
- It can be used in group studies, one-on-one studies, or personal studies in the barracks.
The workbook format of The Story of Hope is designed for participants to be actively engaged in personal Bible study, studying Bible texts for themselves and coming to their own conclusions about God and the Bible and their need of a personal faith response to receive Jesus Christ as Savior.
The Story of Hope is an excellent study for military personnel, regardless of their religious backgrounds or their levels of Bible knowledge. Studies begin in Genesis, where they begin learning about the Creator God who made them and loves them. Then, studies continue through the remainder of the Old Testament and to the end of the New Testament. Participants learn the BIG overall Story of the Bible in a way that God’s plan of redemption becomes clear to them.

FREE Book for Military Chaplains & Missionaries to Military
Gaining Ground with Good Soil is an evangelism and discipleship narrative—a scaled-down version of the Good Soil Evangelism and Discipleship seminar in a narrative format. The principles gained from this book are applicable for anyone wishing to serve God through Biblical evangelism and discipleship, but is especially instructive and helpful for ministry leaders, including military chaplains.
The realistic, but fictional narrative, around which the book is developed, tells the story of a couple of missionaries who were frustrated and discouraged—to the point of almost giving up—because of their lack of success in evangelism and discipleship on their field. But, the "Good Soil" principles they learned from Bible study revolutionized their ministries. It will help you think through a theology of evangelism and discipleship and help you to present the gospel so that men and women will clearly understand it, sincerely embrace it, and firmly hold on to it.
Free instructional resources for individual and group study are also available for download. www.GoodSoil.com/FREE
If you are a military chaplain or a missionary to USA military , with a USA shipping address, and will commit to reading this book , we will send you a FREE (and postage-free) copy of Gaining Ground with Good Soil.
