The Gospel Lab Initiative
Would you consider joining us in raising and training 10 Gospel workers in the next 10 years?
“I am thrilled to be able to partner with GracePoint as you develop this wonderful initiative called Gospel Lab where you are encouraging a culture of training in your church and developing the financial and prayer resources to support your apprentices.”
Associate Professor David Bell, OAM (Convener of the METRO Committee of the PCNSW)
“Raising the next generation of Gospel workers shouldn’t just be dependent on the denomination. It is the work of the local church. Our prayer is that the men and women trained through the Gospel Lab initiative will benefit the wider kingdom work of the Gospel.”
Reverend Eugene Hor (Lead and Founding Pastor of GracePoint Presbyterian Church)
