Follow-up: Bible Study Follow-up

Each inquirer is given a Bible Study booklet entitled “Living in Christ” at the time of his or her commitment. This study course is a self-teaching series of lessons dealing with an individual's commitment, walk and witness. The first lesson in this series leads the inquirer into an understanding of several key promises found in the Bible and is designed to answer some of the questions which confront a new Christian. This course has been developed by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association to help deepen the spiritual life of the inquirer and equip him or her for God's service. Those receiving this booklet are asked to follow the course to completion, checking their answers with the suggested answers found at the back of the booklet, and to mail the card from the back cover to the BGEA office in Charlotte, North Carolina . A devotional book entitled “Day by Day” is mailed to the inquirer from the Christian Guidance Department in Charlotte.

Prior to the crusade, lay leaders from the participating churches are trained in small groups to lead meaningful, practical Bible study groups to help the crusade inquirers. These leaders are then prepared to establish “Discovery Groups” for new Christians after the crusade. Special materials developed by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association for use in these studies are available through the local crusade office.
