Chicago to Chillicothe, to Westboro, WI, to Bloomington/Normal to Cincinnati

Here's a little bit of what we've been up to this Fall so far...

Teaching at Moody Bible Institute, Chicago, IL
When you pray and support Cadre Missionaries, your inflow to us becomes overflow to the next generation of ministry leaders. THANK YOU for every prayer you pray and every penny you give. We couldn't be disciplemaking missionaries with Cadre without YOU!


Disciplemaking Training, Chillicothe, IL
So much fun encouraging and equipping these beautiful people of all ages at CrossWord Cafe.
 
One of the best disciplemaking pastors I know: Crazy Pastor Steve Waggoner.

Real life disciplemaking often happens after the training experience and preferably at a Dairy Queen!

Why do we train like this?

Jed Haas, Care Pastor at Woodlands Church in Plover, WI, immediately took what he experienced at the men's ministry weekend to his family. 

First Thursday Nights 
Disciplemaking Learning Community
Bloomington/Normal, IL
This Fall, our Disciplemaking Learning Community in the Bloomington/Normal, IL, has been meeting every first Thursday night of the month to study, live, and share Jesus' disciplemaking way of life. My daughter Aubrey joined me. So much fun. 


Cincinnati, OH
Grandpa and the boys—all doomed to life of disappointment because we're Bear's fans. 
(Love you Packer fans!)

So many people trying to find friendship and community...

If video above doesn't appear, go here . So many people trying to find friendship and community. Here's a thought. Instead of trying to "find" community, what if instead you sought to "build" community right where you live , work , play , and church ? But how does one "build" community? As a general rule, I try to take all of my questions to Jesus and the Bible.  So, how did Jesus "build" community?   This is where I invite you to do your own study on how Jesus used meals to connect with people.

This Fall: First Thursday Nights in Central IL!

This four-session disciplemaking training experience takes you to the very heart of disciplemaking friendships that flourish and multiply. It's an exploration of how to live the "one-another" verses as found in the Bible. This will NOT be a lecture or a passive  workshop. Expect fun, thought-provoking interactions, encouragement, and God-directed transformation that you'll be able to apply to your life and ministry immediately. Bring your Bible and your framily (friends and family). Each person receives a training manual  and  a One Another Living Guide for taking what you learn back to those where you live, work, play, and church. Y ou'll encounter these four sessions: *  Session 1  (Thursday PM, September 5 th, 6-8 PM ) No Relationships = No Ministry;  Know Relationships = Know Ministry An out-of-the-box learning experience will get us started and explain why relationships are the heart of ministry—and God’s mode of operation for impacting and changing the lives
