Cindi Angelo gives the final message

Pastor Cindi Angelo from Lisbon, Portugal spoke about the importance of making disciples in Europe. The need is great. Souls are lost and perishing.
We must be obedient to preach the Gospel, to sow the seed, to bear witness.
The Apostolic Discipleship Model in the Kingdom of God
1. The Heart of the Kingdom of God = the World Church, the Invisible Church
2. The Heart of the Invisible Church = the Local Church
3. The Heart of the Local Church = the Cell Group, the Small Group
4. The Heart of the Small Group = Discipleship One-on-One
