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)
