Rev. Kwasi Kena, Director of Evangelism Ministries for the General Board of Discipleship (GBOD) of the United Methodist Church (and UMC representative to the Evangelism Connections Advisory board) has been very productive of late! Here, he offers links to a wealth of new and relevant content on the GBOD Website.

The first is a series of articles called “Continue to Change the World” based on the book Change the World by Michael Slaughter, a pastor of a large-membership teaching church in Tipp City, OH. This series expands on selected concepts in Slaughter's book.
