| Cloud of Witnesses is a series of videos (each with multiple sessions) telling stories that encourage us to faithfulness. Included are stories of 16th century Anabaptists and current-day Christians from around the globe. These historic and contemporary Christians explore similar themes as they seek ways to be relevant in their own cultural setting. The stories will encourage us to take a look at our culture, and then drink deeply from the roots of our faith tradition, ultimately calling us to follow Jesus more closely.
Each includes a detailed study guide.
