10 Instruction Sheet ORAL REPORT General Church History (1) When you receive confirmation of your assigned topic, begin your research. Possible sources: A dictionary of church history Encyclopedias Books on the topic Our text Other texts in general church history The Internet (if the website is reliable) NOTE: Use at least three sources. (2) The report should be approximately 5-6 minutes in length. (Reports which run considerably longer will lose points. Take us to the heart of the subject quickly, and make every sentence count which, by the way, is good advice for preaching, too!) (3) Compile and organize the information gained in research. Don t read your entire report from a single source. (4) Be creative. Incredible as it may sound, some people find history boring, and you don t want to lose them. (5) Good reports generally make use of a handout or a PowerPoint presentation so that students can see as well as hear the information. (6) At the close of your report, hand in your notes and a list of your sources. (The notes do not need to be typed. It s not even necessary for them to be neat, as long as they are legible. After all, this is an oral report.)
11 Instruction Sheet DEVOTIONALS FROM CHURCH HISTORY General Church History (1) Keep your eyes and ears open for illustrations or striking quotations from church history which could serve as the heart of brief devotionals... five of them. (These may come from your reading, from your knowledge of church history, from newspapers and magazines, etc.) (2) Make a spiritual point by applying the illustration to life, and write it out in full. (Stay on the subject. A devotional is by definition short and needs only one point.) (3) Close it with a gripping, memorable sentence. (4) Give it a title. (5) No cover sheet, footnotes, or bibliography will be necessary. (6) Devotionals must be typed. (7) Word limit: 200 words. (8) Only one devotional per page, please. (9) The assignment calls for five (5) of these. Must be postmarked no later than July 23, SUGGESTION: Use these devotionals in your local church from the pulpit, in your Sunday School class or small group, with your student ministry, etc. (See next page for a sample devotional.)
12 Sample Devotional A Call for Maps Every village in eighteenth-century England had its cobbler s shop, and Hackleton was no exception. In fact, Hackleton s one claim to fame is centered around that shop. In most respects it was no different from other cobbler s shops. The same simple tools were there, the same wooden benches, the same smell of leather. But on the wall hung a homemade map of the world, with all of the known nations drawn in and facts about them filling every available space. Scattered on tables and benches were books, and information from those books soon found its way onto that unusual map. This was William Carey s shop. Within a few years he would leave his cobbling and his school teaching to become a pioneer Protestant missionary to India and open the floodgates of the modern missionary movement. Carey did more than study a map; he entered it. We need maps, too maps of our neighborhoods, our towns and cities, our districts, and beyond maps hanging in our hearts if not on our walls. We need an awareness that this world is lost unless it knows the Savior. We need to glance up occasionally from our involvement with the immediate to catch a glimpse of our investment in the eternal. And somehow, in some way, we need to enter our maps as William Carey entered his. Bob Black
