Pioneers and church councils who want to get started with new missionary or diaconal initiatives can use the new online learning environment lerenpionieren.nl. Here are teaching modules based on the knowledge and experience accumulated in the Pioneering Learning Community, among others. You can follow the modules for free and independently.
Module 2 - Loving your neighbour as yourself
The Learning to pioneer modules cover twelve key themes. Six of them have to do with building a new community, the other six deal with practical matters. Each month we highlight one. This month: love and serve.
As you listen, you discover how you can be engaged in God's mission. How you can make something visible of God's love in your own environment, by loving and serving. This goes beyond doing something good for someone else. Loving and serving is about relationship, equality, reciprocity and sincere attention. We also know it as pastoral care and diaconate.
In the love and serve module, you will find the orientation video below, materials for the discussion leader, basic and in-depth materials.
Team evangelisation for help
The missionary consultants are there for you if you have questions or need advice. Team evangelism is there to inspire, equip, advise and guide our churches and pioneer sites. In doing so, we draw among other things on this offer from the Pioneering Learning Community, a partner we have been working closely with for some time.
