David Kaufmann shares about a new project in his ministry. In order to equip missionaries in how to make disciples, he is starting a training school near Nashville, Tennessee. This organization works to teach missionaries through classwork and on-the-ground training.
Listen to hear about the school as well as the growth of church planting in the community of Nashville and some of his goals for the area. More than anything, he points to the importance of spending time in the Word of God and of obeying Him in every part of life.
