What is LIVE 2:6?
LIVE 2:6 is a year-long intern programme run by J-Life South Africa, based on 1 John 2:6. Our heart is to support churches as they set up intern programmes by training their interns 3 days a week. LIVE 2:6 is designed to help interns focus on BEING like Jesus (His character) and DOING what He did (His priorities).
How does a LIVE 2:6 year WORK?
Throughout the year, participants are built up in their faith, equipped with essential biblical knowledge and ministry skills, and empowered to multiply their impact by making disciples who live like Jesus.
