News | Media Release: DVD event

16 October 2008

Christianity Explored is to premiere their new Discipleship Explored course DVD at All Souls Church, Langham Place, London, this evening.

Paul Chelson, Chief Executive of Christianity Explored, said: “After months of writing, filming and editing, we are delighted to unveil this superb new resource at such an exciting time. Thousands of Discipleship Explored courses are now running in homes and churches worldwide, following on from our Christianity Explored course.

“We’ve created this DVD to support leaders running DE courses by supplementing their live talks or making it easier for them to get to grips with material. It works brilliantly in a small group or one-to-one setting.

He added: “The feedback we have received already has been very encouraging, so we're confident that the DVD will be another useful tool to help local churches both evangelise and grow evangelists.”

At the launch event, a DVD preview, consisting of the course trailer plus two episodes, will be screened for an invited audience of journalists, bloggers, DE course leaders, and other church representatives.

Rico Tice, Associate Minister (Evangelism) at All Souls Church and the founder of Christianity Explored, will then interview the author and presenter of the DVD, Barry Cooper, who has returned to London from the USA for this event.

The DVD is now on sale from The Good Book Company, who will be making available generously discounted copies of this and other DE publications at the event.
