All this and more is covered in the Back to Eden Workshop on 1 Timothy 2-3! Jean and Mimi are both trainers in our Tru School program and you can go through a 2-wee...

From our opening class of 30 students the school has grown to 500+ students in what came to be labeled a "Discipleship Christian...
