32 New Movements?...Not Bad for One Day

Our four hour training time on Saturday, turned into an 8 hour marathon...only in Latin America could we get away with that. Thanks Lord. This was our first training time of the new school year, and despite some normal learning curve stuff, we had an amazing day. Caitlin Hutchins did an outstanding job directing the time! The staff all did a great job.

86 people showed up at a church outside the city to learn how to launch movements. Over half of those were students. At the end of the day, these people committed to launching 32 different movements. Most of those movements are on high school and college campuses, but some of the adults committed to launching a hospital ministry and a taxi cab driver ministry. That last one is my favorite.

They all left trained in how to share their faith using the Four Spiritual Laws and their personal testimony. We also walked them through a strategic planning process, so each of them knew the vision and their next steps. We even had one person receive Christ during the training time! Oh yeah baby!

Another great part...the pastor of the church and all the elders have committed to coaching all of these new movement launchers along with our help. They set another follow up training time to ensure that they move forward. And they have adopted several university campuses to ensure those campuses will always have a movement.
