Conferences often result in ‘one-and-done’ experience, yet when Jesus commissioned the church to make disciples of all nations, his intent was far from that. Our aim is for this booklet to serve as a source of continued inspiration, keeping the momentum alive. You can use it not only for personal benefit but also to remind you of the urgency in making disciples.
