3 Spontaneous Disciple Making (Spontaneous means motivated from within) God has given us the wonderful privilege of serving you, His body of believers who make up His Church. Our desire is to help you make more and better disciples. Dynamic Churches International is a non-profit service organization. Our Vision: To have reached every person with the gospel of Jesus Christ through the reproduction of equipped witnessing disciples. I pray that these Training Workshops will help you develop your vision, understanding, skills and confidence to begin a Spontaneous Disciple-Making Ministry that could touch the lives of everyone in your community with the love of Jesus Christ. I am confident that God has brought us together at this very strategic time in history. As followers of Jesus Christ we all have our part to play in God's great plan for planet earth. Jesus last words to His disciples and to us were to go and make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:18-20). The Great Commission will be accomplished as we follow His clearly outlined Biblical instructions. Our desire is to help you as an individual catch the vision for discipleship and be motivated by the Holy Spirit from within to make disciples and fulfil what God has called you to accomplish so that God may be greatly glorified. Al Middleton Executive Director 3

5 How to Use this Training Workbook This training has been designed to be simple to teach so that when those you train develop a Spontaneous Disciple-Making Process, they will be able to train other people to do the same (reproduce themselves). There are many ways you can use this training book. The following are suggestions: 1. Read it several times for clarity and start your own Spontaneous Disciple-Making Process and disciple other people as outlined in this book. 2. If you are a Pastor, share it with leaders in your church. If they are willing, begin with them. They will need to begin by each finding a person who is interested and open to the gospel and beginning a Discovery Group. They can help interested people begin new groups and reproduce more and more Discovery Groups as potential leaders surface. Some of them will be willing and ready to Plant new Churches. You can train them and help them form new Discovery Groups and also develop leaders by following the clear step by step directions in this training workbook. 3. You can take them through this training individually or as a group. They will understand and have the experience they need for you to become a disciple-making church or plant many new disciple-making churches. 4. As you expand to more and more disciples and groups, other pastors will want you to help them do the same in their church. Arrange a time to share the Spontaneous Disciple-Making Process Overview PowerPoint with their leaders. (It is available on our website at: Your experienced people could help them begin the Spontaneous Disciple-Making Process by training a few of their people. 5. Share this vision with other churches until there are enough disciple-making churches with sufficient witnessing disciples to reach your community with the gospel of Jesus Christ. 5

6 How to Teach: Open each session of this workshop with prayer! Begin the training by sharing the Spontaneous Disciple-Making Process Overview or Session One from this Workbook (on PowerPoint if available) For each Workshop simply follow the text, describe the diagrams and discuss the questions as you read through the written script emphasizing the main points. Do not add a lot of extra thoughts, as this will tend to complicate and confuse. It will also make this training less reproducible. Do share your own passion and excitement for the things you are teaching. Be sure to give personal examples of how God has changed lives (including your own) through the application of these principles. 6
