Discover Life is a nine week programme written by Jim Wallace back in 1995. This course can be used for confirmation, or a believers class, or a small group study. Jim Wallace had 2000 copies printed, and he is now left with his last copy
To keep this resource alive, PYM has made a digital version of Discover Life freely available for it’s intended use – youth ministry. I have split this manual up into more manageable sizes, so you may print off the relevant pages at the right time. A link to the entire resource is at the bottom of the page
Rev Jim Wallace B.Sc., B.Soc.Sc., B. Theol.
Jim went to University as an Atheist. He became a Christian while studying Science. (Physics)
He has been the minister of St. James, Waihi. He was involved in the building of the new church centre, St. John’s in the City, Rotorua. He moved to Tauranga to plant the new Presbyterian Church – Bethlehem Community Church in Tauranga. He is now working to grow and strengthen St. Enoch’s Presbyterian Church in the centre of Tauranga. Jim is married to Laurelle and between them they have 5 children.
