Download or read book Heart to Heart written by Robin R. Ulbredtch and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2011-07-20 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever experienced the transforming love and power of God as He poured His grace into your heart? Have you ever experienced the cleansing, healing, and restoration of your heart and life? Have you ever experienced a passion for telling your story and sharing the news of God’s transforming power with others? HEART to heart: A Discipleship and Mentoring Plan can help those with a heart to share God’s love through these vital pursuits. Reaching out with God’s love can be done as individuals or in small or large groups. The HEART to heart Plan offers Christian believers a set of guidelines for creating discipleship and mentoring programs in their churches or as outreaches that come under the authority of Jesus Christ and the local church. As the world becomes more evil and more threatening, the HEART to heart Plan can help set up places of support where people can come and get encouragement, love, prayer, and help in dealing with the issues of life. HEART to heart groups can also offer a demonstration of God’s love in action: believers reach out, and God uses them to demonstrate His transforming power and love—that He has poured into their hearts by the Holy Spirit—to share with others. In the Great Commission in Matthew 28:19-20 NKJV, Jesus commands believers to “go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; (...).” The HEART to heart Plan provides believers with an opportunity to be used by Jesus to help others overcome broken hearts and lives through sharing God’s word, their gifts and testimonies, and, most of all, love. “Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.” (Romans 5:5 NKJV)

The church considers itself a traditional church and is a member of a mainline denomination. Others who are attempting to start discipleship ministries and leadership strategies in denominational and traditional settings will be able to use this research alongside that coming from non-denominational sources to develop a unique form particular to their own ministry context.

Download or read book The Mentoring Church written by Phil A. Newton and published by Kregel Publications. This book was released on 2017 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ministry Book of the Year--The Gospel Coalition 2017 Book Awards The critical missing element in Christian mentoring today: the congregation "Bringing up future leaders isn't just the job of the pastor but of the whole congregation. This is an urgently needed book in churches today." --R. Albert Mohler Jr., president of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary Young, emerging leaders of the church, many of whom have gone through leadership training and traditional mentorship programs, still too often find themselves unprepared for the realities of ministry. Many leave the ministry altogether, overwhelmed. Phil Newton reveals a critical gap: single-source mentorship is incomplete. Mentoring must involve the congregation, not just senior pastors, in order to bring forth mature, resilient leaders prepared for all that ministry entails. The solid, practical solutions in The Mentoring Church offer churches of any size both the vision for mentoring future leaders and a workable template to follow. With insightful consideration of theological, historical, and contemporary training models for pastor/church partnerships, Newton is a reliable guide to developing a church culture that equips fully prepared leaders.

Download or read book Church Planting Movements written by V. David Garrison and published by WIGTake Resources. This book was released on 2007 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Garrison, PhD University of Chicago, defines Church Planting Movements as rapidly multiplying indigenous churches planting churches that sweep across a people group or population segment. Garrison's Church Planting Movements: How God Is Redeeming a Lost World signaled a breakthrough in missionary church planting. After the publication of Garrison's book in 2004 it became impossible to talk about missions without referencing Church Planting Movements. Church Planting Movements examines more than two-dozen movements of multiplying churches on five continents. After presenting these case studies, Garrison identifies ten universal elements present in each movement. He then broadens the circle of examination to identify a further ten common characteristics, factors identified in most, but not all, of the movements. He concludes his examination with a list of "Seven Deadly Sins," i.e. harmful practices that stifle or impede Church Planting Movements. Important for evangelical readers, the author returns to his findings to see how they stand up to the light of Scripture. What he discovers is that Church Planting Movements are much more consistent with the New Testament lay-led house-church movements that swept rapidly through the Mediterranean world in the face of hostile opposition than today's more sedentary professional institutionalized Christianity.

Download or read book DiscipleShift written by Jim Putman and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2013-04-23 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Question: What is the God-given purpose of the local church? Answer: Relational discipleship. DiscipleShift walks you through five key "shifts" that churches must make to refocus on the fundamental biblical mission of discipleship. These intentional changes will attract the world and empower your church members to be salt and light in their communities. Over the last thirty years, many influential church leaders and church planters in America have adopted various models for reaching unchurched people. While many of these approaches have merit, something is still missing, something even more fundamental to the mission of the church: discipleship. Making disciples—helping people to trust and follow Jesus—is the church's God-given mandate. Devoted disciples attract people outside the church because of the change others see in their Christ-like lives. And discipleship empowers Christians to be more like Christ as they intentionally develop relationships with non-believers. Through biblical and professional insights, Jim Putman and Bobby Harrington discuss the transformational effectiveness of making disciples and just how to do so, in practical terms. You’ll learn: The specific roles of a disciple-making pastor. The components of person-to-person discipleship. How each ministry in your church leads to discipleship. How to implement discipleship in your church. Disciple-making leaders will not produce perfect churches, but they will create effective churches.
