Allbelievers

Allbelievers provide an online course entitled 'Mission: tradition confronts the future'. This eLearning course will help you to look at 21st Century culture and to consider how best to communicate the Gospel to others who know little of Christianity, its language or its foundations.  It is based on the remarkable book Christianity Rediscovered, Vincent Donovan’s story of mission to the Maasai people of Tanzania.  His experiences led him to reconsider radically how we nurture faith in others, starting from where they are rather than from where we are or where we would like them to be.
