“Go and Grow”
The Spirit-Man Ministry
The “Go and Grow” series developed out of a need to promote biblical communication amongst the chapter Brothers. After attempts at several “online” and “electronic” based documents, we have rested on this monthly discussion series, which is aimed at developing the spirit-man.

Theme: No Cross no Crown: If Jesus won’t take it, He’ll help me carry it!
Scripture for the month: “When you ascended on high, you led captives in your train; you received gifts from men, even from the rebellious—that you, O LORD God, might dwell there.
