How to Teach Your Children to Be Missional

A few weeks ago, I was able to attend a leaders retreat with Grace Church. It was a wonderful time of fellowship, rest, envisioning, and worship.

On my other blog, Mission: Allendale, I've written some posts on this very topic. Here are three recent ones that you should check out:
