Godsend : Learning for Mission
Godsend, which is available to download for free, has been designed as a toolkit to help you grow new Christian communities with those exploring faith. It uses animations, questions and real life examples to explore topics such as listening to the community, what emerging church looks like, how to gather a team and so much more.
The easy to use format makes it easy to pass on to those that you are exploring church with. Our hope is that it will help you to develop what you are doing whether you are at the beginning of exploring what new Christian communities look like where you are or whether you’re already part way along the journey.
