Resources for Beloved Community Leaders/Apprentices
The supplemental notes and powerpoints will be posted here. Each week we will update the material so that all the training information will be available to the Missional Community apprentices and leaders:
Download Beloved Community Leaders Requirements (doc) This is the first document which includes the expectations and training schedule for the missional community leaders. The last page includes a vision of what the leadership structure may look like in the future.
Download LH Beloved Communities Mathetes 2.1 This is the updated (7/1/09) powerpoint that covers the subjects of what was a disciple, what can it look like today, and what are we thinking and reaching for. Each slide has the manuscript in the notes view.
Download LH Missional Communities Mathetes 2.2 This is updated (9/11/09) powerpoint that covers all of 2.1 plus the new addition of Beloved Communities.
