Your first year in Journey
Begin to schedule every month:
Plan ways to integrate One-on-one discipleship education, exposure and experience into the life of the church.
Begin to speak about the importance of having a church purpose/mission statement that reflects your local/global passion for making disciples.
Either create a purpose statement or review/revise your current statement.
Challenge the entire congregation with a global vision to multiply Disciple Makers.
Ask for commitments regularly to become a Disciple-Maker or a Disciple. It takes time to see the results of One-on-one discipleship. Be patient and the results will come.
Begin consideration of the Church budget and staff needed for Discipleship. Should you hire full-time Soul Winning Disciple Makers?
The next Levels of Discipleship begin when…
- Church fellowships for those involved in Discipleship.
- A time for you to speak to the disciplers with their disciples.
- Fellowships for the disciplers and their disciples to have bonding time together.
