Great Truths is no longer only a dream.
Ben has succeeded in creating a significant proportion of the material which will be the foundation of Great Truths. This material has been peer reviewed and evaluated both here in the UK and by evangelical leaders in the majority world. Feedback has been extremely positive and there is a hunger to start the process of distribution.
Personal Relationships & Leadership Networks
Ben has developed relationships with Christian leaders in many other majority world countries – including Eastern Europe, Asia, and Latin America – as he has refined his own thinking on both the need and the opportunity.
Great Truths – a high quality multimedia guide to Biblical teaching, available without charge – is the response to this need. In fact, since returning from South Africa, Ben has dedicated his life to developing Great Truths.
