The Foundation
Since 1984 having discovered the profound benefit and need of Discipleship training in my own life, I carried the burden and vision for a Discipleship School here in this part of Northern Ireland.
Since my first meeting with the late Dr. Bob Gordon, found
of Proclaimers International, I have encouraged Christians everywhere to
consider discipleship training, many of whom have spent a rewarding time with
Proclaimers International in Leadership, Discipleship and Evangelism training.
Unfortunately, not everyone can sacrifice three, six or
twelve months of their time to a full term course. This is why we, as a church, have sponsored The Open Door
Bible School.
It is a non denominational school and everyone who has a
personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ and would like to receive
training in Leadership or Evangelism, while at the same time being discipled by
the Word of God, will be made truly welcome.
I sincerely hope you will be as challenged and encouraged
towards being a disciple of Jesus as I was and continue to be.
