Christs lovereceived,

transforms people tolove, with Christ-likelove,

other people in Christ-likeloving relationships.

Other people, in turn, are alsotransformed and in obedience, loveother people with Christ-like love.

18 And Jesus came and saidto them, All authority in

heaven and on earth hasbeen given to me. 19 Gotherefore and makedisciples of all nations,baptizing them in the name

of the Father and of the Sonand of the Holy Spirit,20 teaching them to observeall that I have commanded

you. And behold, I am withyou always, to the end of theage.

Other people, in turn, arealso transformed , and inobedience, love other

To the Church in Ephesus

1To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: The wordsof him who holds the seven stars in his right hand, who

walks among the seven golden lampstands. 2 I know your

works, your toil and your patient endurance, and how youcannot bear with those who are evil, but have tested those

who call themselves apostles and are not, and found themto be false. 3 I know you are enduring patiently and bearing

up for my names sake, and you have not grown weary.4

ButI have this against you, that you have abandoned the loveyou had at first.


31/62

5 Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent,and do the works you did at first. If not, I will come to youand remove your lampstand from its place, unless yourepent. 6 Yet this you have: you hate the works of the

Nicolaitans, which I also hate. 7 He who has an ear, let himhear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one whoconquers I will grant to eat of the tree of life, which is in theparadise of God.

36/62

DISCIPLING is a relationship wherewe intentionally walk alongside agrowing disciple or disciples in

order to encourage, correct, andchallenge them in love to growtoward maturity in Christ.

DISCIPLE-MAKING ensures that

the gospel is embedded deeply inthe lives of mature believers whoserve as links to the future.

- Or why not expand the membership of core groups?

Paul > Timothy > Stephen

Mentoring is intentionallyfocused on disciple-making:

Equipping others todisciple others

Training in ministry,mission and churchleadership

Mentoring a few people at atime has greater impact

1) Mentoring


40/62


Honest, self-disclosing andconfessional relationships that

give the Holy Spirit permission toremake us.

Intimate, accountablerelationships with other believers

is the foundation for growing indiscipleship.

It is easier to honor a covenant forconfidentiality within small

groups.

2) Relational Vulnerability


41/62


study of Gods word within thecontext of transparent relationships(direct application to members reallife experiences not other peoples)

as people open their lives to oneanother around the truth of God's

Word, the Lord begins to rebuildtheir lives from the inside out

focus on what the group member(not how others) can change.

3)Transformation in contextof the Truth & relationships

49/62

Q:Will the existing core fellowshipgroups disband?

A: No, core groups will meet as usual, new small groups

will meet at another schedule at the leaders and membersconvenience, so new leaders can continue to meet withtheir core groups.


50/62

Q: There are other qualified individualsin church, why not tap them?

A: The concept of accountability works to make sure that

all have an up-line before they start a down-line. This is toensure that all leaders are taken cared of by someone elsebefore and while they look after new disciples. (All coregroups have been assigned to the accountability of thepastors. Core group members are also assumed to have co-accountability. )

An up-line helps secure the emotional and spiritual healthof a disciple who is already leading / discipling anothergroup.


51/62

Q:What if a core group member couldnot commit yet to lead a new group?

A: He may first try to host during the 6-week bridging

campaign. 40 Days of Love is a short 6-week commitmentwhich does not require so much theological knowledge.

There is a pre-campaign study of 40 Days of Love withinthe core groups to prepare the new leader for the church-

wide campaign. There will be intensive leadership training in November for

the longer term Discipleship Program, if one so decides tocommit to the long-term program.


52/62

Q:Why conduct a church wide campaign? A:The Good Shepherd showed us to look after every sheep

that is outside of the fold. We, as a church, have to bringthem back in before nightfall.

We have the resources of 50+ core group members and canconveniently divide among them the responsibility ofaccounting for the others who have not been part of core

groups. It is also the churchs responsibility to make disciple-

making disciples out of every member. Every active coregroup member should be convinced of and enabled to

fulfill his responsibility to make disciples.
