The Life You've Always Wanted Discipleship Conference
Coastal Community Church, Yorktown
Saturday, February 25th, 8:00 – 11:58 AM
The primary reason Christian men fail is that they have not been properly discipled. They want to follow Christ in the details of their lives, but they don’t have any idea how to do that. Nor do they have the proper tools to be able to do it.
On February 25th, we will give you the tools and training to live radically transformed lives and enable you to help others do the same. We are raising the bar and the result will be a victorious life. We hope you will join us in this exciting life-on-life, interactive adventure.
The cost is $20 per person, which includes breakfast, guest speakers, and the workbook, Discipleship: The Life You’ve Always Wanted.
Register online from the Gathering of Men website at www.gatheringofmen.com/discipleship2012.htm.
