2. Neighborhood Preparedness Outreach Training: Bellevue, WA, September 15, 9–2
Preparing for potential disasters is a great way to connect with neighbors and begin spiritual conversations.
This training integrates:

- with Q-Place guidance in gathering people with different beliefs for spiritual discussion around the Bible.
BACKGROUND
We live at a pivotal moment in His-story:
- The global Church is stronger, and growing faster, than ever before.
- Through movements, nations are being discipled faster than ever before.
- Some generation will embrace the potential of movements to reach every people.
- We could become that generation!
Yet the majority of believers are disconnected from this reality. Most of us:
- aren’t aware of the unprecedented movements unfolding in our day, and
- aren’t familiar with biblical principles for pursuing God for movements.
Seeking God for movements involves a few basic paradigm shifts:
- from seeking to grow our own church
to training our members to disciple all of their relational networks.
(including family, friends, co-workers and neighbors)
- from telling people what the Bible says
to guiding people to hear God speak to them directly through His Word.
- from giving people information
to training them to obey all Jesus’ commands.
A growing number of churches, big and small, are leading the way in this 21st Century return to New Testament models, including:
- Megachurch Family Bible Church in FL
- a small Mandarin church in CA
- Megachurch Sugar Creek Baptist in TX
The events above can help and your church join this paradigm shift to greater fruitfulness.
