Andrew Wommack Ministries
Andrew’s ministry is based in Colorado. He felt called us to teach the truth of the Gospel to the body of Christ with a special emphasis on God’s unconditional love and the balance between grace and faith. This is done by teaching at seminars, in churches, on radio and television, by training others at Charis Bible College, and by developing ministry materials designed to help people in their relationship with the Lord. There are lots of resources here for discipleship but also for outreach.

C4L has three discipleship booklets which are used as 21 Day Personal Study Guides:
1) Already Connected – for mature believers to be strengthened by God’s lavish grace
2) First Time Connectors – for those investigating the connected life in Christ
3) The Reconnected Life – for people open to making the journey back to God or to a church
These all use the metaphor of connection for life to the full in Christ.
