Churches are increasingly realizing that their primary calling is to make
disciples-followers of Jesus who come together to learn to worship, to love,
and serve the world. But how can it be done? Not least, how can small
congregations of traditionally-minded Christians become evangelizing
communities where people find faith and become disciples? The CDs recorded at
this conference offer practical tools and resource which are immediately
applicable for churches and individuals.
