Watch his encouraging two-minute video here. Scott is hoping to return to ** in August. Please pray for God to re-open this great harvest field. If you’d like to help Take the Challenge fund these feeding programs, visit our eGive site and select “Feeding Program” under Choose a Fund. Thank you for praying for Pastor ** and for those his church is serving during this critical time! Blessings, Scott and Patty [/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https://takethechallengeinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/ttci-facilitate-projects-052020.jpg” _builder_version=”4.4.1″][/et_pb_image][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]

The six hours of training were spread over Friday night and Saturday morning, and despite some issues with air conditioning, a full crowd attended both sessions. Here are some responses from attendees: [/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row custom_padding=”0px|||||” _builder_version=”3.23.3″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.23.3″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.23.3″ min_height=”629px”] “The seminar was so good! Thanks for your awesome teaching J” – Casey C. “Awesome seminar!!! I’m ready for more!!!” – Tabitha S. Most exciting of all was that all six of the pastors who attended have begun disciple-maker groups or are actively seeking and planning to invest in raising disciple-makers within their churches. One pastor has scheduled the full Raising Disciple-Makers seminar for his church in January 2020 (details to come). Praise God! [/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]
