MODULE 12: LAUNCH

You've worked hard to get to this point and now it's time to take all your hard work and put it into practice. You're going to set up some meetings with pastors to share about Alongsiders.

Your main goal at this point is simply to meet with some pastors and ask them to allow you to present Alongsiders to their young people at The Vision Meeting. It is important to go to this meeting together with your Alongsiders co-leader.

Don't worry if your sharing is not very effective the first few times. Over time you will grow more confident and fluent in sharing about this discipleship movement.

Go ahead and set up a few meetings with pastors. After the first meeting, use the form below to reflect on the experience.
