Ambassadors for Christ

23–27 March 2026 (Mon–Fri)

As those professing to follow Jesus, each of us Is called to “go and make disciples” – yet how do we go about this in both our everyday lives and in more formal ministry settings?

Whatever our personality, gifting or context, and asking such questions as:
What is a discipleship Gospel? What do disciple-making spaces look like?
– this 5-session workshop is designed to challenge, yet also practically equip us to be the best versions of ourselves as Christ’s Ambassadors in the spheres of influence He has placed us. The sessions will consider:

What is a discipleship Gospel?

Is this how God has always worked?

What are my disciple-making spaces?

How does this work with family, friends, church and community?

What might a disciple-making plan look like for me?
