How Jesus Trained His Disciples for Success: What We Can Learn for Our Ministry Today

Dave Heney

Facing a hostile Roman Empire about the same size as today's United States, Christians successfully converted most of that vast empire in an amazingly fast time.

This webinar will reveal the training that Jesus gave his disciples in Luke 10 that you can use today for success as a parish minister.
