Burning Bush Revises Format

Devozine
 
(NASHVILLE, Tenn., May 28, 2009/GBOD) — The General Board of Discipleship (GBOD) is redesigning the format of Discipleship University's core curriculum, Burning Bush, in response to current economic realities. The deadline to enroll is June 15, 2009.

Burning Bush is a unique experience for congregational teams to intentionally plan for making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. A two-year process, Burning Bush includes five weekend experiences that equip congregational teams to develop and implement a plan for making disciples of Jesus Christ in their context.

The first and fifth weekends will be held in Nashville, Tenn. The middle three weekends will be conducted at each of the participating congregations and facilitated by congregational guides assigned to congregational teams.

In light of this new format, participation is open to congregations of any size.

Congregational teams must begin their participation with the first weekend experience in Nashville. New learning groups begin approximately every six months.

For more information about Burning Bush and Discipleship University, call Mary McDonald at (877) 899-2780, ext. 1760, or e-mail Mary at mmcdonald@gbod.org.

GBOD's mission is to support annual conference and local church leaders for their task of equipping world-changing disciples. An agency of The United Methodist Church, GBOD is located at 1908 Grand Ave. in Nashville, Tenn. Visit www.gbod.org for more information or call the Media Relations Office toll free at 877-899-2780, ext. 7017.
