Akaloo

 

We all want to build disciples for life.  However, we don’t always use a lifelong approach.  Sadly, “faith formation” is often limited to Sunday school or confirmation.  Akaloo changes all of that – moving beyond Sunday school.  Akaloo brings an enduring perspective, offering a program of intentional discipleship that covers the entire lifespan, children through adults.  This kit includes everything you need to get started; an Akaloo launch CD, guide book and a copy of all 8 Akaloo Handbooks.
