How are you getting on with working together with a team of people to start Kingdom Movements in the power of the Holy Spirit? Even if there are only two of you to begin with, it’s important you never work alone.
Today we will look at Forming Churches with 3 Parts Pattern. Keeping patterns simple is important for multiplication.
Go to page 10 of the FREE Training PDF and watch the video below. If the videos don’t work please click here.
The three parts pattern of Look Back, Look Up and Look Forward is easy to reproduce and can be used as a pattern for holding meetings, from discipling in groups to church meetings.
Discipleship groups can transition to “healthy churches”. To do this we need to work on the “indicators” of a healthy church.
Activities
This is an important activity for you to be able to do and model with others. Model something that even people with little or no religious background can copy. You can practice this three parts pattern even before you have any disciples of Jesus.
- Try and practice with the people you are working with, or your friends or family. Practice in small groups. Just follow the simple pattern shown in the Introductory PDF.
- In the Look Up part, don’t “preach”, where only one person tells everyone what the Scriptures mean and how to apply it. Instead discuss the Scriptures (in written, audio or story form) and allow everyone to participate.
- Also think about where you will meet. Meet in the most natural and friendly place for the people you want to reach, not necessary the place you personally find most comfortable or holy.
We pray you will start to explore patterns that help the discipleship process, patterns that can be copied easily. Stay tuned for the next email in this Free Introductory Training.
