The Certified Apologetics Instructor Program is sponsored by the North American Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention. For more information on the program, see here.

As a participant in this program, I am currently working on requirement #3, which states:

Practicum: Once completing the first two requirements, the student must prepare 10 talks on apologetics, including Power Point presentations which incorporate skills learned in the second requirement (DCW). The CAI candidate must log 30 occasions of teaching apologetics using one or more of these 10 presentations. The purpose of the practicum is to hone/reinforce the candidate's communication skills learned at DCW.

As an aid to myself and others in this program, I am asking readers to contact me at jphold@earthlink.net if you are in need of a speaker so that we can fulfill our requirements. There are about 15 of us in the program now, each of us located in different areas and with different specializations. If readers will contact me, I will connect them with CAI participants in their area (or with a specific knowledge specialty) to see if something can be worked out.

Presently, CAI participants live in (or are adjacent to) the following states, though some or all are willing to travel, especially to adjacent states, with various requirements:

Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia.

Tekton is offering this as a service and a convenience to fellow CAI participants. We do not in any way officially represent NAMB or any other body with this offer. Your church does not have to be Southern Baptist for our speakers to serve you.

If you want myself in particular as a speaker, see more information here.
