We believe it will be a significant resource for building the Kingdom of God in this area.
Individuals are most welcome, but we particularly hope that small groups from a church or fresh expression will come as this will deepen the impact of the course.

Recommendations
The course really helped me to look at my own limitations and effectiveness, to see things from the viewpoint of others and offered the opportunity to work through these things.
Sue Price, course member 2011
Many churches are engaging in mission in fresh ways. This course provides us with an excellent way of supporting and developing that mission focus.
