Breakout 2: Life Model Online Community | Family Gathering 2021
with Richard Abbott
Many people involved in the Life Model ecosystem ask for a “clearinghouse” for “all things Life Model”. They also are looking for others who are like-minded and for others who may live and do ministry in their geographic regions. Life Model Works is partnering with Thrive Today, Alive and Well and others, to develop an online community platform that will be such a clearinghouse for relational connections, smaller learning communities, services, and multi-media resources. Choose this track to learn how you can join a “beta” group for this exciting new endeavor and help us dream about how to make and keep it user-friendly and relevant for years to come.
