We practice this with our own ministries, by speaking in churches and conferences around the world, and by holding a variety of workshops for believers who are ready to be blessed by stepping out to the edge in faith and service. Having had a personal "wipeout" experience, Chappy Dave knows exactly what it is like to be "on the edge."
