I WANT TO LEARN HOW TO MAKE DISCIPLES
Step 1: Pray
Begin by expressing to God your desire to make disciples who make disciples. Seek His guidance for understanding and connecting with the right people. Continue to rely on Him as you support their growth and multiplication. Read, Pray for helpful insights.
Step 2: Find People of Peace
People of Peace are crucial to a disciple-making movement (DMM). They are open to conversations, receptive to prayer, and eager to share Bible stories with others, as described in Luke 10:1-20. You can identify them situationally using the FARM Conversation, or intentionally through Prayer Walk.
Step 3: Teach Discovery Bible Study (DBS)
Discovery Bible Study (DBS) is the key tool in disciple-making movements (DMM). It generates community, promotes discovery and triggers multiplication.
Step 4: Coach for Multiplication
Ongoing coaching is vital because it provides the support, guidance, and encouragement necessary for multiplication. It involves both mentoring others and being mentored yourself. Refer to Coach for guidance on coaching others and for tips on receiving coaching from others.
I WANT TO TEACH OTHERS HOW TO MAKE DISCIPLES
Level 1: Launch
Launch is a multi-session introductory resource designed to equip participants with the basic tools of disciple-making. Its primary objective is to help individuals start Discovery Groups, equipping them with the essential skills to embark on their disciple-making journey.
Level 2: DMM Training
DMM Training is offered by Experience Life (eLife) and is a free, comprehensive, multi-session resource that delves deeply into disciple-making. It builds on the practical "how-to" elements of Launch, while also exploring the underlying "why" of disciple-making principles, offering a more profound understanding of the process. After experiencing Launch, go through the DMM Training yourself, then use the notes to teach others.
