Residential Training Program
The Discipling for Development Residential Training Program (D4D RTP) is a 10-month learning intensive hosted in Atlanta, Ga., designed to give you a better understanding of whole-life discipleship alongside vulnerable populations.
This program offers an in-depth exploration of the principles and practices of holistic disciplemaking, asset-based community development, and God's heart for communities pushed to the margins. Participants will develop skills of adult learning, Bible telling, and practical application in the city.
This program is designed especially for those interested in a mid-term placement within a Discipling for Development team or vocational ministry.
