The Experience, Growth, and Ministry of Life for the Body

This page compiles a list of articles, portions, and blog posts on the 2013 Spring ITERO on the topic of, The Experience, Growth, and Ministry of Life for the Body. What a rich, deep, and experiential speaking according to the current need! We need to experience life, grow in the divine life, and minister Christ as life to the others for the building up of the Body of Christ. For this, we need to deal with our natural constitution, our heart, our spirit, and everything that is fallen in our being.
