| Description Program Srvc Accom | Planting the Gospel exists to work with individuals and churches to equip people to make disciples and plant churches. Over the past year we have worked diligently on a number of initiatives:1) Raising financial support to bring on a full time ordained minister to manage our local disciple making efforts and to serve the area as a missionary. 2) We have developed materials and resources to equip and train churches and individuals in following the ways of Jesus. 3) We have worked alongside several non-profit organizations to leverage our disciple making resources nationally. These organizations include Auxano, Exponential, and FCA. 4) We have continued to develop an online platform for equipping churches and leaders nationally through www.plantingthegospel.com. 5) We have worked with a number of churches throughout the US to equip them for carrying out the mission of disciple making and church planting. 6) We have leveraged a number of conferences and speaking opportunities to provide free disciple-making resources. | DescriptionProgramSrvcAccomTxt |
