We work to assist churches in Jesus’ mandate to make disciples that make disciples. We partner with churches in this effort through events, training, consultations and resources.

disciple-making
forum online
Churches have been conditioned to develop education based programmatic steps to make disciples. The focus has been on completion of a course, not spiritual replication, but to be a disciple who makes disciples requires a deep relational commitment. Our mandate must remain centered on helping people mature, so they can replciate their life into the lives of others.
Did you miss part of the conference? Here are the videos you can watch right now. We will still be posting the individual sessions within a week.
