Aslan is On the Move
with Dr. Jerry Root
Nearly fifty years ago, James Houston and Jim Hiskey launched what is now the C.S. Lewis Institute. Their mission was not to make more fans of C.S. Lewis, but to make more people like C.S. Lewis: men and women who are serious about discipleship of the heart and mind and who will articulate, defend, share, and live their faith in personal and public life.
Eleven years ago, the C.S. Lewis Institute expanded its presence and mission into Chicago and began making disciples who will be more capable and confident to make disciples in their churches, communities, families, and places of work. Aslan has been marching through the Chicagoland area calling more people into serious discipleship.
Join us on Sept. 19 at the Arrowhead Golf Club as Dr. Jerry Root speaks to our theme, "Aslan is on the Move!" Dr. Root will sound the call to action to join Aslan in his battle to see the Kingdom of God realized by hearing and doing God’s will today. You are sure to be inspired and encouraged by Dr. Root and stories of faithful discipleship ministry. You will also have the opportunity to join God in his work via prayer and financial support.
