Spreading the Tangible Power of God Virtually
Virtual courses dramatically expand the reach of our teams.
In the midst of lockdowns across the globe, our teams are broadcasting our trainings behind closed doors!
Our East Asia team recently held a Building Healthy Churches course via Zoom, maxing out the account at 500 connections. Most of these connections were projected to multiple people, for an estimated total of around 2000! Each small group was led by designated leaders, providing vital relational context for the training. The team also injected strong spiritual elements with space for reflection, solitude, Spirit-led prayer, listening to God, and opportunities to face reality and repent.
Our East Asia team leader said:
“This lockdown turned out to be the very best thing that happened to us EVER! I knew there must be great new opportunities here, but now I see them ‒ things we would never have dreamed of before! The wide casting of nets through the Building Healthy Churches course, for one thing; we are also developing strategies for doing our long-term Building Healthy Builders program online. Through intentional 4D design, it can even be much stronger than the way we did it before!!”
The breaking of traditions creates the opportunity, and online learning gives the opportunity far reach, making it easy for people to take the training – at no cost, other than time. It is meeting such a huge and strategic need!
“Now, even if everything is wide open, we would choose to do it with this new strategy. God indeed knows what He is doing through this virus… We are going to really flourish through it all!”
God is using the circumstances of this lockdown to open people up so they are ready to break with their traditional views and truly seek what God wants for His Church. May we see the same openness develop in all nations!
