DETERMINED TO DISCIPLE
COMMITMENTS TO MAKE
RENEW.org ONE-DAY, IRWIN PA
Norwin Christian Church
Keynote Speaker
DAVID YOUNG
A Tennessee native, David Young is a founder of New Day Resources and a board member of the Renew Network. He began ministry work at the age of 16 by preaching for his local congregation, and throughout his career, he has worked for churches in Missouri, Kansas, and Tennessee; taught New Testament at several universities; and has traveled widely teaching and preaching.
What will I get out of this event?
We don’t want discipleship to be an afterthought in our churches. We want to obey the Great Commission by leading others to follow Jesus, be changed by Jesus, and commit to the mission of Jesus. This is a day of connection and encouragement for anyone who understands the importance of discipleship, or wants to learn more about why it matters.
