Sometimes, folks feel called to ministry with Village Missions, but they don’t feel equipped. They may even have years of experience in loving and ministering to the church, but they don’t have enough Bible knowledge to feel confident preaching, or giving biblical advice.
That’s where the Contenders Discipleship Initiative (CDI) comes in. Through CDI, the congregation is trained and people are educated specifically to go into ministry, and students are prepared to become pastors of small churches. The best part is, it's free! And they can meet in the evenings, so people can continue to support their families while they make the transition.
