Summary

WANT TO CHANGE LIVES?

Leaders know that the ministries most effective at changing lives must train their members to become leaders themselves. After all, God’s people want to change lives too—but we are all tired of approaches that promise much and deliver little. We are ready for an equipping ministry that is Christ-centered, comprehensive, easy to implement, and relationship-oriented; not program-focused.

The 4E Ministry Training Strategy, tested in hundreds of churches, is a best-practice tool for empowering God’s people to make disciples. Launch a revolution in one-another disciple-making, and equip your church to become a place not simply with biblical counseling, but of biblical counseling.
