Tres Dias Essentials
We want to share the Essentials with all Pescadores. Tres Dias is a ministry that has been blessed since its founding in 1972. Our hope is that you take away a couple gems from each section covered and know that everything that is done pre- weekend, during the weekend and post weekend is very intentional. God bless you all in your walk of Piety.
There are 8 videos in this training plus the Post Test and Resources. Most are 10-13 minutes. They can be viewed in their entirety or one module at a time for training at team meetings or Secuelas.
