The Mission Field Is Right In Your Own Backyard – Come Get Equipped To Fight The Fight Back Home

From the crew


January 10, 2017

Ever felt that your life feels like it’s going nowhere? That it’s getting boring? That Sunday mornings alone are not cutting it for you?

What if I told you change is out there and closer than you think.

What if you could spend a small part of your life in a new environment away from the safety of your home with people who are also seeking a better understanding of who God is.

That when you returned home, you’d be changed. That your days could be filled with God and what He wants for you. That your mission field is right in your own backyard.

The mission field is where you are

Wouldn’t you want to take that step? Wouldn’t you want to see what happen?

Many have come to do a Discipleship Training School (DTS) and found what you are looking for. They found a place to grow and learn in a safe environment, where lessons are learned and love is poured out.

DTS is a 5 month course designed to help you grow in your relationship with God as well as a place to get a better understanding of who He is and His love for you.

It may seem like a daunting task to give up your already filled time but isn’t God worth it?

If your heart is pounding – my questions is: What’s stopping you? Is it a job, your family, friends?

I can see the challenges you face from others; from commitments; from even yourself. I’ve been there. Throw in the money challenges – not having enough to pay for the whole course and you’ve got plenty of reasons to stay at home.

I mean why would anyone want to risk anything for something that appears to cost so much?

BECAUSE IT CHANGED MY LIFE and changed the course of my life.

Change your life

It could change yours too. It will, if you let it.

Sometimes getting out of your comfort zone and allowing God to shine is exactly what you need.

Whether you believe it or not, missions is in your own backyard, your home, your work and maybe even your family. As a follower of Christ, you need to be mission minded everywhere you go. DTS is a fantastic way to help you do just that.

Contact us. We have answers to help guide you and we would like to pray with you.

5 months of change can turn into a lifestyle transformed.

Just take that step. Take a risk.
