Hosting EWI requires a church or other educational facility, a trained coordinator, a supporting team of 6-10 people, and 6-9 months of preparation to create a budget, invite instructors, promote the course, etc.
What does it take to be a coordinator?
Encountering the World of Islam (EWI) is an outgrowth of Perspectives on the World Christian Movement (see the Perspectives website) and is endorsed as a specialized curriculum within the Perspectives Family. Perspectives is not a prerequisite for EWI, but both courses teach similar values and use similar methods of instruction. We’ve seen Perspectives coordinators be very effective in coordinating Encountering the World of Islam.
