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 1 - It starts with listening
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: quadruple listening...
Being missional does not start with doing, but with prayer and listening to God. This is done from four different angles: first the Bible and prayer, then the environment you are placed in, your own team or group and also the wider church. Good listening is an important basic attitude that you can practise and that helps you discover how to be engaged in God's mission.
In the fourfold listening module, you will find the orientation video below, materials for the conversation 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.
