The Missio Dei Network
The ministry of The Missio Dei Network, through Ephesians 4 leadership,
offers these gifts of the ascended Lord Jesus Christ to your congregation
through on-site visitations and distance education/on-site courses so that
disciples, congregations and mission leaders may be formed who are able to
minister the love of Christ, the word of Christ, the mind of Christ and the
compassion of Christ in your congregation, community, and world.

COURSE METHODOLOGY
Each course consists of six, 2.5 hour sessions that begins with a
"position paper and video presentation" that introduces the key concepts and
learnings for the session along with significant cognitive, attitudinal and
applicational objectives. Course participants will also have access to online
learning opportunities via discussion boards, chat rooms, and distance
education classrooms.
ON-SITE VISITATION METHODOLOGY
An on-site visitation takes place after the congregation has submitted key
congregational and contextual data to The Missio Dei Network for study and
reflection. The on-site visit assesses the "condition of the lampstand" and
offers strategies for congregational vitalization and mission development.
For those congregations that would not desire an on-site visit but who would
welcome an assessment based only upon the submitted congregational and
contextual data, a report outlining general strategies for congregational
vitalization and mission development would be available by request.
