At the same time, reformers were calling for a return to early Christian belief and practice in Europe. The twin processes of globalization and reformation characterized ensuing centuries of Christian development, as increasingly diverse European Christians sought to spread their faith to newly encountered people and continents.

Doctor of Ministry DM760-1 Spiritual Replenishment for the Experienced Ministry Leader Classroom 2 8:00am 4:50pm Monday, January 8 Wednesday, January 10 8:00am 11:50am Thursday, January 11 One of the biggest challenges of long-term ministry is the self-care of the leader. Whether you are a church pastor, missionary, parachurch leader or counselor, everyone (maybe even you) thinks that your spiritual and emotional energy should always be brimming over. Moreover, if it is not, and it is usually not, we think something is wrong with us.
