Whoa… This looks really good. Here are five practical training manuals which each offer 26 hours of instruction, sharing a vision for saturation church planting as well as practical principles and priorities for accomplishing local church plants. They’re designed for modular instruction in a working seminar format. The training schedule can be adapted for work/ministry realities of your trainees. The price? Free. Hard to believe? Check it out. See the overview at…

If you’ve been reading Brigada since 1995 and this is the only resource you’ve ever garnered, this one resource just might be worth it all. :-)
The same group also offers a mentoring guidebook at…

I have a note into the author… but the main organization there (the “alliance”) has long since shut down. Either way, the copyright release says this is, for the most part, free for use. Amazing materials. Thanks to all those who took part in writing them!!!
(Thanks for the tip, Paul!)

Larry! Thanks so much for logging in! It’s great to have you on Brigada. Just visited your page. Amazing! How in the world… Larry — I have a question: Would you be able to tell us if we could do a joint Brigada job in the new “Brigada/Training” area (see the top menu) to create an online distance learning approach for the Omega Course? Obviously, we’d credit you guys to the moon and back… because I truly believe you’ve created something amazing. What do you think? I believe we could work out an arrangement with a university or two to grant credit in church planter training curricula. Are we ok copyright-wise? Do we need to ask anyone else? I’ve written the address in the course, but have heard nothing.
