‘A sower went out to sow his seed; and as he sowed, some fell on the path and was trampled on, and the birds of the air ate it up. Some fell on the rock; and as it grew up, it withered for lack of moisture. Some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew with it and choked it. Some fell into GOOD SOIL, and WHEN IT GREW, it produced a HUNDREDFOLD.’  Luke 8:5-8

Results

We expect all participants to experience formation, hold a greater understanding of the broader mission, have clarity about their individual mission, find new allies from within the cohort, acquire knowledge on how to live that out in community, and gain confidence to share what they have learned with the world.

Participants are invited to bring their own ideas and experience to the table to create a lab of best practices, fresh ideas, and opportunities so they leave with clear plans for mission to young, new and diverse people.
