How to Become a Disciple Online Facilitator in April
Do you have persons in your congregation who are missing out on DISCIPLE because of their schedules? Do you have some whose travel keeps them from committing to a weekly class meeting? Do you have some who might like to take DISCIPLE with others who have a similar life experience? How about the appeal of participating in a serious, tranformational Bible experience with other Christians from around the world?
BeADisciple.com is now providing a way for Christian leaders to participate in a Disciple Bible Study group online with persons within their congregation, within their conference, across the country, or around the world!
Five Disciple Online groups are meeting online this year. Participants are finding this provides the same tranformational experience as found in other face-to-face Disciple groups, with the added bonus of convenience and interaction with other Christians not limited by time and location.
This is the only Disciple Online facilitator training to be held before the fall launch.
