IN D-SCHOOL WE WILL...

1)  Intensify the process of being conformed to the image of Christ. We will position ourselves to be transformed through practicing the spiritual disciplines.  We will seek to create an environment which encourages growth and fruitfulness in every area of life.
2)  Clarify our unique gifts and callings through study, learning from gifted leaders, and stepping out into various ministry experiences to "road test what's under the hood".
3)  Become more missional WHEREVER we are.  We will start by becoming more missional in our own network of relationships.
4)  Be trained up into more effective and dedicated "workers" in the Kingdom.
5)  Prepare ourselves to pursue God's call on our lives - even to the ends of the earth.  D-School is one of the first steps for anyone wanting to join a Hope for the Nations churchplanting team overseas.
