Every journey follows a path. Some journeys wander, some take the quickest route between two points. This journey, the Purpose Driven Journey, follows a path set throughout scripture; it is a strategic response to Jesus' call to his followers, passed along to us, to "make disciples of all nations."
This journey is a call to each and every Christian, especially those in leadership, to be effective in taking on our Master's work. This journey starts with an understanding of what God is doing, in history, now and into the future. It is a journey that is about the Gospel of the Kingdom.
