New discipleship resource from Langham Partnership

The resource has been released off the back of Langham's 9-a-day: Becoming like Jesus campaign encouraging Christians to go deeper in their relationship with God.

The DVD course is spread over nine weeks and will allow church groups to be inspired by leaders from the UK church who talk about what Christlikeness means to them.

Groups will also be able to listen to workshops on the fruits of the Spirit.
