Tim Walker joins Dale on today’s 95Podcast to talk about the remarkable impact he has seen at Restored Church in Wilkes-Barre, PA. Restored Church has a decade of meeting the needs of the less fortunate by sharing the Gospel with them. Once someone has come to Christ, the next step is to disciple them through a process called The Timothy Initiative. The goal of The Timothy Initiative is to develop discipleship through the 4th generation.
Tim shares how he’s seen firsthand the impact of developing disciples who develop disciples that develop disciples. He also notes four key shifts that are happening: 1 – Believer to Disciple, 2 – Knowledge to Obedience, 3 – Disciple to Disciple-Maker & 4 – Addition to Multiplication.
