What is the Ministry Equipping Center?
When Jesus called Peter to follow Him, it took a great step of faith to leave all that he knew and to exchange it for a life and path of unknowns. However, as he stepped out in faith, the adventure that Peter experienced was indescribable; learning deep truths from the Creator, witnessing miracles from the Son of God, and finding his purpose through bringing the light of the gospel to many who only knew darkness!
Can you imagine what Peter’s life would have been had he not stepped out of the boat?
Are you ready to step out of the boat?
