ADAPT is Advanced Discipleship and Pastoral Training — inductive Bible study, book by book, paragraph by paragraph. Observation, interpretation, application. It is what a new believer here works through in a small group, what our own leaders are trained on, and what we put in a pastor's hands when we sit down with him in Sinaloa, in Peru, in Uganda, in South Sudan. English and Spanish. Nothing here is a sample.
No email. No account. No upsell.A paragraph-by-paragraph teaching manual on spiritual gifts, written to move you from theory to conviction about your own calling.
