The first set of Field Training classes will be from September 8-October 6 and will include Understanding the Bible, Peace Child book discussion, and Membership!  Each of these training classes is designed to not only train us to know God and his Word better (Hebrews 5:11-14), but to be better equipped (Ephesians 4:12) to make disciples as we are sent out to be the church in the world.  We hope these classes give you greater knowledge and call you to greater levels of faith and obedience, but we also hope they give you transferable truth that you can pass on to others you are sharing the gospel with and discipling in your life!

Book Discussion - Peace Child by Don Richardson

In 1962, Don and Carol Richardson risked their lives to share the gospel with the Sawi people of New Guinea. Peace Child tells their unforgettable story of living among these headhunters and cannibals, who valued treachery through fattening victims with friendship before the slaughter. God gave Don and Carol the key to the Sawi hearts via a redemptive analogy from their own mythology. The "peace child" became the secret to unlocking a value system that had existed through generations. This analogy became a stepping-stone by which the gospel came into the Sawi culture and started both a spiritual and a social revolution from within. With an epilogue updating how the gospel has impacted the Sawi people, this missionary classic will inspire a new generation of readers who need to hear this remarkable story and the lessons it teaches us about communicating Christ in a meaningful way to those around us.
