Follow Up Files
We provide a series of free documents to help you with your ministry. Regarding these files, we ask that you do not copy them for sale. Other than that, feel free to share them provided they are distributed in their entirety. Just fill out the form below. Phil will phone you to confirm your status. We do not wish to make this material available to cults or others who do not share our essential purpose – hence the need for a brief conversation.
