OVERVIEW
There's no question that the word missional is generating a lot of buzz in ministry circles today. But do you really need to understand what it means? And can missional practices and principles really enhance your small-group ministry? The answer to both of those questions is yes.
Whether studying the concept of mission individually or as a group of leaders, this Training Theme is a great resource to help you learn more. It features devotionals, activities, assessments, and how-to articles from trusted leaders around the world--including Alan Hirsch, Mark Buchanan, Bill Donahue, and others.
