Breakfast Meeting—Developing Your Tribe & Serving them Well

Are you ready to transform your book, keynote speech, or ministry into a force of faith that truly changes the world? The key is do what Jesus does–don’t try to do it alone–BUILD A TEAM! We all yearn for our message to be more than words on a page or spoken to a few groups. We invest far too much of our hearts and passion to stop with that. We want our message to live beyond a single event or book. We want it to MULIPLY! Just like Jesus taught us, we want to spark real-life transformation, instill courage, kindle passion, and plant the seeds of FREEDOM and hope that flourish beyond us. This workshop will teach you how!
