Good News: Sowing Seeds of the Gospel in Your Context
Thanks again for joining us for the Good News: Sowing Seeds of the Gospel in Your
Context webinar. We hope you came away encouraged, inspired, and ready to equip
your teams to share the hope we have in Jesus.
As promised, here are four unique training offerings from our panellists to help you
and your team with confidence and clarity when it comes to sharing the good
news of Jesus. Each training option is shaped for different contexts and learning
styles, so there’s something for everyone.
Ready to sign up? Registration deadline - Friday 15th August
If you're ready to take the next step and equip your team, we'd love to hear from you.
We'll ask where you're based, your preferred format, about willingness to travel, which training you're interested in, and the number of people you’d want to take part—and then we’ll be in touch to help make it happen.
If you'd like help choosing the right training for your team or context, simply reply to this email, or better yet give me a call. I’m happy to kōrero and guide you through the options.
Let’s keep sowing the seeds of the gospel across Aotearoa!
PS - The four organisations offering these trainings are all providing them at cost (which Wilberforce will cover). Huge thank you to these organisations for their desire to share what they have learned and developed to help others sow seeds of the Gospel in their own contexts!
