Download or read book Making Disciples Mentor Guide written by William H. Willimon and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2018-06-19 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Making Disciples is a 13-session mentor-based confirmation program that pairs confirmands with adult mentors and guides them through a variety of learning experiences that will strengthen the student's understanding of the faith while connecting him or her with the community of believers in a personal way. It can be used as a stand-alone program, or in conjunction with your current curriculum as a special experiential unit. This is a confirmation program that is more like a process and less like a reading assignment, more engaging and congruent with the nature of the Christian faith than existing programs. Using an “apprenticeship” approach to confirmation Will Willimon produced a series of learning experiences where adult mentors and confirmands are both teachers and learners at the same time. This time-tested approach has been extensively revised and updated for usage in today’s churches that take seriously Christ’s command to be engaged in disciple making The bulk of the Mentor Guide is exactly the same as the Confirmand's Journal. You are encouraged to work through the activities right along with the confirmands and to complete the activities and writing assignments just as he or she does. By working along with your confirmand you will demonstrate the need to keep learning and growing. Topics explore the basics of Christian faith: •God •Jesus •the Holy Spirit •worship •the Bible •gifts •ministry •baptism •spiritual life •death and resurrection •the church

Download or read book Mentor for Life written by Natasha Sistrunk Robinson and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2016-03-01 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today’s Christian women do not simply want nice fellowships and cookie-cutter answers about how to deal with life. Though churches are filled with good ministry programming—activities, outreach events, and an endless selection of options—many churches neglect their fundamental mission to make disciples. Christian women want to mentor and to be mentored, though they may not fully understand what that means, the significance of this desire, or how to get there. The church must rise to answer these questions, meet life’s challenges, and develop creative ways of equipping modern women to mentor well. In Mentor for Life, Natasha Sistrunk Robinson lays a solid foundation for mentoring that is based on God’s kingdom vision, challenges women to consider the cost of discipleship, and the high calling they have received in Christ. It shows how to develop mentoring relationships that function communally in existing small groups that are diverse and inclusive. It also presents a mentoring framework of knowing and loving God, understanding our identity in Christ, and loving our neighbor, which encourages theological reflection and cultivates a basic Christian worldview. Filled with examples from Robinson’s experience in the military and business world, this resource gives readers the wisdom they need to disciple others and as a foundation for kingdom service.
Download or read book Heart to Heart written by Robin R. Ulbredtch and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2011-07 with total page 74 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)

Book excerpt: Jesus taught multitudes. He fed thousands. He sent seventy out to tell good news. But He changed the world through only twelve, and specifically invested in three men: Peter, James, and John. How did He do this? He walked with those He called as disciples, living life and applying truth to their world daily. You're probably not a wandering rabbi, and you may have a busy life, but if you've known Christ long, you ought to be pouring into another life in a mentoring relationship. In With you will see how to take everyday life as a practical means for teaching another about walking with Jesus. The younger generation desperately seeks mentors to show them how to live for Jesus in a real world. You can help, and this book will show you how.

Download or read book Stride written by Ken Willard and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Churches of all types around the country are struggling. The more programs they try the more evident it becomes that there is no quick fix or secret formula to help them out of their rut. John Wesley, the founder of the Methodist Movement, once said, “The way to keep a Methodist alive is to keep him moving.” It is time to recapture this simple yet profound truth and get back to the basics of making fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ. The authors developed and launched a highly successful pathway to discipleship in their church (Morning Star UMC, in St.Louis). Here, they show others how to create a successful discipleship pathway for their own particular contexts, based on the principles developed at Morning Star. Willard and Scheiner share the process of developing a discipleship pathway that meets individual people where they are. They provide examples of each element and practical instruction on how to plan, implement and sustain the discipleship pathway. The authors are teaching this material in conferences around the UM connection, from New Mexico to Missouri. They also share examples of how the pathway works in other churches. For small group study participants working through Stride, the Stride Participant Book (ISBN 9781501876257), a workbook designed to facilitate individual work on creating a discipleship pathway, is available to purchase separately.

Download or read book The Discipleship and Mentoring Workbook written by Paul Leavenworth and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-07-16 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Discipleship and Mentoring Workbook is designed to help leaders establish a biblical understanding of discipleship and disciple-making (spiritual mentoring) for life and leadership. This workbook is part of The Leadership Development Series of workbooks designed to facilitate "transformational learning" for establishing a foundation that will stand the test of time and help us to meet the challenges of learning how to be "lovers in a dangerous time" (musician Bruce Cockburn). Jesus stated that, "God is spirit, and his worshippers [Disciples and Mentors] must worship in Spirit [Spirit-Empowered] and in truth [Bible-Centered]" John 4:24, NIV. From this passage I developed The Leadership Development Series that includes this workbook plus The Bible-Centered Leader Workbook; The Spirit-Empowered Leader Workbook; and The Discipleship and Leadership Workbook (that is a "best of" or introductory overview of the content in the other three workbooks in this series for younger emerging leaders). The Discipleship and Mentoring Workbook is designed as a stand-alone and/or companion to other workbooks in this series. Each of these workbooks is formatted using the IDEA approach to transformational learning. The goal of the IDEA approach is to facilitate the "gracious work" of God through his word and spirit to transform us "into his likeness with ever increasing glory..." (II Corinthians 3:18, NIV) Each chapter will begin with an Introduction (I) followed by Discovery (D), Explanation (E), and Application (A) sections. Each chapter can be worked through as a unit or in sequence as a whole with a variety of process options including individual, small groups, and various course applications. Take your time and prayerfully and carefully read, study, discuss, apply, and evaluate your progress. Remember that becoming a disciple and mentor is not an objective as much as it is a process or lifestyle. We do not obtain these as much as we become them. Over the years, we will be transformed by God (discipleship) in order help others (spiritual mentoring) in their transformation process.
