Because we have a loving Father who calls us to do incredible things? In one mind-blowing moment Jesus said those who ”believe in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these”! (John 14:12) This happened as Jesus taught and led his disciples into encounters with him where they discovered who they were, lived in relationship with Him, and become those who “turned the world upside down” (Acts 17:6). Jesus said that his disciples were in turn to "make disciples of all nations" (Matthew 28:19). The School of Missional Life is a 3-term journey to encounter more of Jesus, be transformed and to dare to believe for more. This is your time. Come and join us!
