Did any of you take the "Outreach" class and learn the 45-minute gospel diagram presentation? Does this still exist in GCx?

The outreach  diagram is used very much out here in Colorado. In fact, I know of people going through the class right now I went through the class myself. It actually provides some helpful tools in sharing the gospel. It is a lot of work though.

I tried to take it back when I was going to GC, but it is a lot of work.  A lot of churches outside GC use the same or a variation of the bridge diagram though.  You could probably find it very easily on the web.  The main problem is that the presentation is a series of questions and assumptions.  If someone pokes a hole in though assumptions or answers the question in the wrong way, the outreach class and diagram don't have much in the way of contingencies to deal with an unfavorable answer or probing questions.
