Equip Tour
Proposed dates, and the evening programme, are below
Let’s change our world – one conversation at a time!
A mission:
Thinking leads to behaviour, and behaviour produces results. Our suggestion is that new thinking is needed regarding outreach. This applies at an individual, local church and national level – and that is what the ‘Equip Tour’ exists to communicate about.
Even better – we’re doing the travelling for you, so you don’t have to.
Please utilise our efforts, to connect with ideas and strategies that came into existence through journeying with hundreds of NZ pastors over the past few years.
