Guest Dr. Curtis Sergeant shares his thoughts on the concept of Disciple-Making Movements and Dr. Frank shares about why www.Zume.training has been integrated into the Fidelis Course.
Dr. Curtis Sergeant served with IMB among an unreached people group in China. After a movement started there, he began training for the house-church networks in China. He served as a Vice President for Global Strategy with the IMB. At Saddleback he led efforts for Church Planting and was used to catalyze global church planting projects, particularly in India. Through God’s grace in these efforts, nearly one hundred previously unengaged UPGs were engaged with the gospel. He served as the international Vice President of e3 Partners. He currently directs a disciple-making and missions training center called MetaCamp in the USA. He is a co-facilitator of the 24/14 coalition and helped found the Zúme project. His doctorate is in missions and his master’s degree is in education.
