3. Discipleship All Christians need spiritual leaders and mentors to help them grow deeper in their faith. In many areas of the world, these leaders are few and not well-trained. In some areas, the leader of a church or group may simply be the first person of the group who heard the gospel – and that may have been quite recently! Your gift supports the training and equipping of Christian leaders in the fundamentals of theology and provides free tools to churches and individuals, enabling them to grow in their Christian walk. We emphasize initiatives that include the local church so that continued growth is maintained through effective long-term relationships. Suggested Gift $125 6
