Session Description
Missions? Mission? Missional? All three words have been touted as the “key” to the future of the church. Are these just semantic distinctions with no difference, or is the move to be missional really a move to recapture the true purpose of the church. In this session, participants will be exposed to the key elements that make for truly great exponential movements in history. The application of this missional movement at the local church level draws us closer to genuine transformation of our world for Jesus.
