Reviews:
Identifying, equipping, deploying apprentices is the secret to small group ministry that multiplies. The growth of the small group system depends totally on the ability of leaders to raise up apprentices who will one day lead another small group. Bill Tenny-Brittian's "Apprentice Workbook" has everything you need to accomplish that primary task of small group ministries that multiply.
