Hello friends
Jesus followed and taught a simple plan to make disciples – (1) connect with people by eating with them – listening to their stories, (2) meet people’s needs – bringing healing – using our stories as a bridge to, (3) sharing God’s story – ‘the kingdom of God is near’. In this News you will find a range of resources and equipping opportunities for disciple-making – for church planters and teams.
I pray for God’s blessings for you,
Peter Roennfeldt
