I WANT TO LEARN HOW TO MAKE DISCIPLE MAKERS

Step 1: Pray for Steps 2, 3, 4.

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 encourage their growth and multiplication. Read Pray for helpful insights.

Step 2: Find People of Peace

After praying, the next crucial step in a disciple-making movement (DMM) is identifying People of Peace, as described in Luke 10:1-20. These individuals are vital because they are open to conversations about faith, receptive to prayer, and eager to hear and share Bible stories with others. They are identified situationally using the FARM Conversation, or intentionally through Prayer Walk.

Step 3: Teach Them Discovery Bible Study (DBS)

The next step is to teach the People of Peace Discovery Bible Study (DBS)—the main tool in disciple-making movements (DMM). This simple yet powerful method fosters community, encourages personal discovery of biblical truths, and leads to natural multiplication as participants learn and share with others.

Step 4: Coach Them to Multiply.

Once they have learned DBS, the next step is transitioning to ongoing coaching, which is crucial for continued growth and multiplication because it offers the support, guidance, and encouragement needed to sustain the disciple-making process. For practical tips on coaching others and receiving coaching, refer to Coach to help maintain momentum in the disciple-making journey.

I WANT TO TRAIN OTHERS HOW TO MAKE DISCIPLE MAKERS

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.

Level 2: DMM Training

DMM Training is offered by Experience Life (eLife) and is a free, multi-session resource that builds on the practical "how-to" elements of Launch, while also exploring the underlying "why" of disciple-making principles, offering a more comprehensive understanding of the process. After experiencing Launch, go through the DMM Training yourself, then use the notes to teach others.
