Title: Why One Year Communities Matter
Description: The GAP Year experience is not a modern invention. From Jesus’ call: “Come away to a quiet place” to modern ministry models the temporary, sequestered, Christian community has been the seed bed for effective ministry leaders throughout Christian history. Now more than ever one-year communities are helping young men and women, unplug, seek discernment, network and find the way forward. Brad will unpack some history, theological narrative, personal ministry experience and area resources to help you as a student or parent seek a Christian Community GAP year.
