I can have one sent to you free of cost and you pay the postage or I can give you a UK number for AMEN GROUP and they will also provide you with one. In the USA you can also try http://www.bibles.com

How about becoming a legally ordained minister... easiest course in the world. You just give them your name.\n\nThen you can go around absolving people, marrying people and baptizing babies. Its fun!

Find a good Bible based church focused on Jesus Christ. There are missionaries there.

Go to a large church, fool. Most of them have Bible study groups. That way no one can lie about their age or weight and you know they live in the area.\n\nIt is easy to lie on the Internet. I'm Bill Gates in disguise, for instance.

Get into bible study. Learn as much as you can about the bible. You will need to know what you are talking about before preaching it. Attend church services as often as you can. Learn from the preachers and other leaders. Take your time and let God lead you. Pray about it.

First of all, you have to attend the proper schooling. I would check with a Bible seminary school and talk with one of their counsellors to see what they suggest. When you're done, I would think that the school that you graduate from would have some suggestions on where to go, maybe applying to some of the bigger churches. Or you can open your own office. This can get expensive though, with insurances and such, so going in with another counsellor and sharing the costs are best. If this is the line of work you're thinking of going into, I commend your thinking. There aren't enough Christian counsellors, outside of big cities. My pastor just happens to be a counsellor also, so we're very fortunate to have him with us. <*)))><

Well, I'm not sure this will totally answer your question but here's a site that might get you started.  There might be classes with your Chamber of Commerce or other humanitarian organzations in your area that might be offered to help you get started.\n\nhttp://www.lds.org/ldsfoundation/ways/default/0,8113,1356-1-9-23,00.html

Cautious.  I would feel the need to learn more about the Bible "study".  Too often such "study" is an indoctrination session with carefully selected passages, a strictly managed curriculum and little opportunity for meaningful discussion.  I don't mind having selections pre-chosen but if only pre-anticipated questions and pre-packaged answers are allowed, I won't last long.  I prefer a free-wheeling, multi-dimensional discussion of the whole reading: text, context, intent, cultural background, comparisons to similar passages, theological issues, application to real life, but not a spoon-fed "explanation".  \n\nAlternately, I could go for a slow prayerful, line-by-line, spontaneous hear-and-respond session.  Such "shared prayer" provides an unrehearsed spritual opportunity that can shake loose some surprising insights.

Find a place to host it.  Check out the legalities involved.  Have waiver / permission forms including health insurance info.  Ask around for donations of equipment.  Contact local church camps to see if they have a program that you can get ideas from and get some input on the ins and outs and then dive in with open arms!

That's great! Is it just one day a month? If so, will it be an all day fellowship?  I guess my idea is just find out what they relate to and talk about that. Also if your a Christian, then witness to them.

Don't just read it sit down,read a little then ask yourself what does it mean ? A bible with study aids,such as a glossary,and Concordance will help greatly.When in a group or in Church,never just listen,but follow along in the Bible yourself.If you have been saved ask God for help.Never question God ,but don't be afraid to ask God questions.More than any earthly father he wants to help.He will help.\n I'm not trying to push any faith or doctrine,but a Scofield is a good study Bible.

I guess if it is for a church group, you could use ideas from the Bible too:\n\nwould you rather run from God and get into trouble (see Jona) or would you rather follow God and get martyred (see Peter, or Paul, ...).\n\nwould you rather read the Bible for five minutes or would you rather watch the Superball for hours?\n\nwould you rather pray for God to help someone or would you rather take it into your hands and help them?\n\nwould you rather play mind games forever or would you focus on God's will for your life?
