This Could be YOU! Friends on Mission Together...

 
“Several men were traveling with him. They were Sopater son of Pyrrhus from Berea; Aristarchus and Secundus from Thessalonica; Gaius from Derbe; Timothy; and Tychicus and Trophimus from the province of Asia.”
‭‭—Acts of the Apostles‬ ‭20‬:‭4‬

In Acts 20:4, we see something beautiful: Paul never traveled alone. He moved with friends—with sons in the faith. With trusted co-workers from different cities and stories.
This wasn’t a celebrity apostle building a platform. It was a family on mission.
Men from Berea, Thessalonica, Derbe, and Asia walked with him — proof that the gospel had taken root in real places and real lives. Paul didn’t just plant churches; he formed people. He invested deeply, shared life, and entrusted responsibility.
Disciplemaking isn’t a solo calling.
It’s shared roads, shared burdens, shared joy.
The mission advances best through friends who have walked with Jesus — and with one another.

—Dave Garda, Cadre Missionaries

Evangelism for Non-Evangelists

Image
What if sharing your faith in Jesus Christ was as simple as praying, loving, speaking, and sharing? In Cadre's  Evangelism Is Relationships  training experience, you will learn to live a simple, Jesus-based approach for helping your family and friends find and follow Jesus. Session 1 Pray iNTERCEDE .  The first step in helping your friends find and follow Jesus is not talking to them about Jesus. The first step is talking to Jesus about your friends. Session 2   Love iNVEST.  The natural result of connecting with God's heart is a desire to love people with God's love. We will explore how Jesus intentionally befriended those in his relational sphere of influence—and how we can follow His example. Session 3   Speak iNTERSECT.  We'll explore how Jesus brought God's truth  and  grace to people in His relational sphere of influence. Then, taking our cues from Jesus, we'll explore how to bring God's truth  and  grace to those in our rela...
