Look at What God is Doing—Summer 2023

  [Note: We are disciplemaking missionaries with Cadre Missionaries. As such, we give a brief ministry update here at Cup O' Joe with Bill once every three months—especially for those who love, pray, and support us.]

Can you help us continue multiplying disciplemakers?

Here's how...
1. Invest in disciplemaking via the Allisons and Cadre Missionaries
2. Join our email prayer team ("prayer team" in subject line)
3. Bring Cadre training to your ministry or church
4. Become a trainer with Cadre   
5. Read and share The Disciplemaking Genius of Jesus

All glory to God!


Can You Help Us?
We're celebrating 20 years of disciplemaking via Cadre Missionaries! We need your prayers and $ partnership for our disciplemaking ministry this Fall. Can you help us? If so, go here. No gift is too small—and each gift would be deeply appreciated. Either way, we thank God for you.
This beautiful family in Tennessee helped us get our Summer ministry mailing put together so we could send it out to you! Thank you God for friends. Full disclosure: We may have enjoyed pizza, BBQ, and ice cream *wink *wink. We don't call it a "Ministry Mailing Party" for nothing baby!

Bonus for reading all the way to the end...
June 11, 2023 is our 35th Wedding Anniversary!
Yes, we're old, but we're still brining the heat baby! LOL!

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 c...

At a minimum, you could quickly search " Jesus eating. " What can we say with certainty about Jesus and eating in the Bible? It seems that Jesus enjoyed eating meals with all sorts of people—and the meal wasn't about the food—it was how Jesus connected with people. Can you think of a better way to connect with people? Perhaps this is why Paul lists "hospitality" as a requirement for all leaders in the church (1 Timothy 3:...
