November PALC Ongoing Gathering

From My Heart to Yours: There will be no "tuition" for this November's PALCO. Make no mistake about it: PALCO is not primarily about getting resources nor is it merely a hot topics discussion group. PALCO is first and foremost a COMMUNITY of aspiring Jesus-like disciplemakers (read: relationships). Now, those who would like to cheerfully donate $50 out of a heart of generosity may still do so. It would be a huge help and blessing to my family and Cadre Ministries. However, those who are not so inclined have complete freedom not to donate. No questions will be asked. My work of preparing for each PALCO, bringing you encouragement and training, and facilitating this community of aspiring Jesus-like disciplemakers is my labor of love that I freely give to God and you… and transcends anything financial. That's from my heart to yours. Never any pressure… always an invitation.

When?
Our next PALCO is Tuesday, November 29, 2011, from 9 AM to 4 PM.

Studying the Disciplemaking Genius of Jesus Together

Here's an updated-new-and-improved-study-guide as we study the disciplemaking genius of Jesus TOGETHER.

PALC Ongoing April 12, 2011

Our next full day together as PALC Ongoing is Tuesday, April 12, 2011, from 9 am to 4 pm!

Part 1 of this day together will be focused on putting the COMMUNITY into our Disciplemaking Learning Community. Plan on sharing, connecting, and doing life together.

Part 2 of this day together is going to be an exploration of the disciplemaking genius of Jesus—as found in the Merged Gospels. Everyone should read the Merged Gospels stories 1-53 (the first two years of Jesus' disciplemaking ministry). As you read this section, constantly ask this question: What did Jesus do and emphazise in making disciples. Look for patterns. Take notes. Be ready to share what you're learning about the disciplemaking genius of Jesus. During this part of our day, we'll have everyone write their findings on a large white board. Come ready with insights from your study. Looking for an example of how to set up your personal study? Be sure to download and print this special PALC Merged Gospels sample study guide (PDF).

Part 3 of this day together will be havering/wrestling the APPLICATIONS of our findings in #2 above. What does 1st century Jesus-like disciplemaking look like in a 21st century world?
