GROW Series
The GROW series of Personal Ministries resources is currently under development. We are aiming to publish a total of five new resources by mid-2020. These resources will aid local churches in developing active ministries in the five phases of disciple-making: Prepare (Health and Community Outreach Handbook), Plant (Literature and Media Ministries Guide), Cultivate (Bible Study Handbook), Harvest (Fundamentals of Faith), and Preserve (Discipleship Handbook).

Discipleship Handbook
The first resource to be published in the GROW Series is the Discipleship Handbook. This is your local church discipleship ministry … IN A BOOK!
