The following videos are intended to be a supplement to the coaching and mentoring that your trainer will provide. If you do not have a local trainer, these videos can be used as your ‘digital trainer’ to guide you from Milestone 1 (called by God to plant a church) TO Milestone 2 (gathering the church).
We will guide you through the Church Planter Guide Book that you received in your Encounter Weekend.
