A Note from Bill Allison... People sometimes ask me, "What do you do?" When I tell them, "I'm a disciplemaking missionary with Cadre Ministrie s ," I often get blank stares. They have no mental box to put me in. What in the world does a disciplemaking missionary do? Great news!   This story below is at the very center of what we mean when we say, "We're disciplemaking missionaries." It's WHO we are... and WHAT we do. And we couldn't do it without friends like you . So please keep reading. From fall of 2015 to spring of 2016, I led a Disciplemaking Learning Community in WI. Recently, Pastor Andrew Smiley (the guy on the right in the picture above) sent me the email I am sharing with you in the post below—with his permission. THANK YOU for reading this and tracking with the Allisons , Cadre Ministries , and our disciplemaking adventures ! To God—and God alone—be the glory! ---------------------------------------------------------

What are YOUR convictions?

Talking about what you believe —what you think to be true—is okay at best and boring at worst.
