Why should I attend?
- Because people in our world are facing numerous troubles already and also stand to be judged by God on the last day
- Because God has called us to help the people around us
- Because God may be calling you to greater involvement in his mission, and the follow-up material is a unique opportunity to be equipped for it
- Because you will grow and benefit from the seminar regardless of whether you are ready to sign up for follow-up equipping
Features of the Follow-up Training
(Individual study and preparation in advance and then meet with others to discuss what you learned; discussions on Sunday evenings at 6:00 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall)
- Thirteen weeks of videos, written materials, active learning, applications, small group discussion, prayer
- Strong support and encouragement from fellow Christians who will also be participating in the training.
- Simple, buildable steps toward actual involvement in God’s mission, without expecting you to do anything weird or inappropriate
- Balanced between God’s role in his mission and ours and also between good deeds, good news, and good teaching
- Exercises that are appropriately challenging in light of the pervasive power of the Enemy, the extreme importance of God’s mission, and our urgent need for equipping
