Soul-winning and Leadership Training is founded on the words of Jesus that we are all called to be the SALT of the earth (Matthew 5:13). God has commissioned His people to spread the gospel and the news of His soon return to all of the world, and at SALT we desire to equip others to do just that.
SALT is the result of a partnership between Southern Adventist University and It Is Written. SALT is able to offer college credits by utilizing Southern Adventist University professors for a large portion of its curriculum, and provide hands on evangelism training by working in active churches that are preparing for an evangelistic series.
Founded in 2011, the program continues to grow and thrive. Many graduates of SALT take full-time positions as Gospel Workers, often working alongside the It Is Written team. Ultimately, SALT desires to play its role in equipping God’s people to fulfill the great commission of Matthew 28 and Revelation 14. We want to prepare the world to meet Jesus.
SALT offers three training options:
- Weekly Webinars
- Learn at Your Own Pace
- Reach Your Community
- Skilled Presenters
- Interactive Classes
- Fast Results
- Fully accredited classes that can integrate with many degree programs
- Certification as a Bible worker in just four months and one-year task-force positions in Bible work, foreign missions, and evangelism upon completion
- Hands-on evangelism training by experienced instructors
