Engaging Pastors, Leaders, and Churches

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” – Acts 1:8 NIV

We believe that this is a desire of every leader who is called to advance the Kingdom of God. Yet we find ourselves wrestling with ways to help those we serve become what God has called them to become. As leaders, we must understand our responsibility and divine calling to help others keep taking the next steps in their spiritual journey.

A Gospel Footprint is the measured sum of missional efforts made by Christians reaching every man, woman, and child with the gospel. As we purposely allow God’s influence to increase in our daily lives, we further the opportunity for the gospel to saturate where we live, work, and play.
