Initiative 2 Train
We train Mission 1:8 coaches to initiate and coordinate church activities that connect C&MA churches through prayer and service to Alliance international workers and events. Acts 1:8 like Misson 1:8 is Christ’s plan for the year-around church. This isn’t for fans but for committed followers of Christ who desire to live “missionally” every day in every community.
The Coach’s Training is a five lesson study plan that introduces the learner to the reasons why Acts 1:8 is for the follower of Christ. The lesson titles (listed below) will enable people to get involved in the “mission” where they are. These lessons intend to empower the learner to reteach the information in parts or as a whole in their home study groups, Sunday School, youth meetings, Children’s Church, and more. Contact Paul Keidel [pkeidel@metrocma.org] for training opportunities.
