In our Biblical block, our leaders will be taught how to have a better theological understanding of simplifying the Gospel and how to contextualize the Gospel for the people they are serving. They will also be given tools on how to prepare their messages so that it is understood by the people, considering their age and/or cultural context.

They have been senior pastors for 32 years with over 45 years of full-time ministry. Previously, as pastors in Flagstaff, AZ for ten years, they built a new church facility and created a strong spiritual army known for prayer walks/journeys and strategic level warfare. As well, God opened a tremendous door with the Hopi tribe, situated within the Navajo Reservation.
