Caste Reconciliation

When I was in India I learned a lot about the caste system.  It is a ranking system in Indian society that prevents a person from rising above the rank they are given at birth - and your rank is determined by your parents - you have no ability to improve it.  Obviously that holds people back and doesn’t allow them to move forward in life.  Many are addressing this - and this is a reconciliation caste ceremony where they also practiced foot washing among the various castes.  It was an incredibly moving time.

Bob Roberts knows as much about church planting as anyone I know. You won’t want to miss the church planter training by Glocalnet and NorthWood’s Church Multiplication Center.

Church planting is not easy. Every person planting a church should take a maximum advantage of their preparation time – they won’t have time later! Also, I have a bias. If I am going to learn a skill, I want to learn from those who know the field. The Glocalnet team members have done it, have coached it, have taught it, and have lived it. Church planters would be well advised to take advantage of NorthWood’s Church Multiplication Center training for their own development. Their resources are biblical, challenging and thorough. I am excited to recommend them.
