1 Creating a Local Outreach Ministry Step 1: Course Work* Course Starting Date: March 8, 2018 Day of the Week: Every Thursday (12 week course) Time: 8:00 p.m. 9:30 p.m. (no breaks) Virtual/Online Course *This course is the first component of three training steps needed to complete the MTI Outreach Ministry Training Course. Journey with us as we work together to establish a presence of Christ s love, through you and your church, to those in your community. You will be guided along a step-by-step process of defining the heart of your ministry, growing in prayer, dreaming big, discovering God s vision, partnering with your Pastor and church, and achieving your goals in the form of lives being drawn closer to Jesus. You will not be given theory, then left to figure it out. Instead, we will explore issues and workshop ideas together as we customize your Outreach Ministry Plan. Together, we will learn how to work best in partnership with your Pastor, church leadership, and the rest of the church body in a healthy and productive way. The MTI practicum step is available to those who complete twelve weeks of course work, including the practical homework and ministry plan assignments. This opportunity will give you incredible guidance, including up to six individual one-to-one coaching sessions, as you implement all that you have learned during the course. Follow up is also provided! Course Objectives: Upon successful completion, participants should be able to: Plan and implement a strategic outreach plan in partnership with the Pastor Develop a cohesive team of leaders Create and lead an atmosphere of faith and purpose within their teams Assess successes and weakness and make the appropriate changes within their ministries All team members will learn: How to lead their team in overcoming fear Practical how to steps to launch or improve their ministry Practicalities of walking by faith, not by sight Ways to be fully prepared, yet allow the Lord room to direct His ministry Team Members: This course is designed for those desiring to follow the Lord s leading in reaching out to their communities. Current outreach leaders or anyone who wants to learn how to lead an outreach ministry for the first time are welcome! Please note: A recommendation from your Pastor is required. Prerequisite: Pastor s MTI Orientation. Virtual Meeting. Saturday, March 3, :00 am 11:00 am

2 Ministry Coach: Pastor Ryan Gray For the past sixteen years, Ryan has followed the Lord s leading across the country and around the globe working for non-profits, NGOs, churches and mission s organizations. He has ministered to AIDS victims in South Africa, preached the Gospel across Latin America, and led short-term outreach teams into Africa. Additionally, he co-created and managed four separate mentoring programs for at-risk youth. Since 2013, Ryan has assisted in a ministry partnership with the vision to see Christian technology workers within the Silicon Valley turning their jobs into a mission field. Ryan has personally mentored more than fifty individuals over the past decade and trained more than 500 adult mentors to bring hope to those in need. Weekly Training Time Schedule Total Length: 1.5 hours 8:00-8:10 p.m. Welcome & Prayer 8:10-8:30 p.m. Spiritual Development: Devotional Sharing and Accountability 8:30-9:15 p.m. Training: Weekly Topic & Discussion 9:15-9:30 p.m. Homework Discussion Required Material Computer or similar electronic device with Internet access Access to Google documents (you will not need a Google account) account Notebook/Journal Course Reading Material Bible (New International Version & New American Standard versions used by Coach) Coursework: Weekly Syllabus Part 1: Weeks 1-4 Theory: The Heart of a Minister Week Topic Description 1 Building on a Foundation of Love: Destroying All Our Fears 2 The Fight of Your Life: Fighting for Souls 3 Identifying Who Jesus Would Reach Out To 4 Where Do We Start and How Do I Choose? Are we afraid of what people may say, think or do? This means we need to dig deeper into God s love with the boldness that His love knows no limits! Reading: 1 John 4:18-19 Do we believe that there will be evil forces and spirits that will try to hinder us where we are tasked with going? If so, how do we bind them, as Jesus said, and what can we expect? Reading: Mark 3:27 and Matthew 12:29 Is there anything specific about the type of people Jesus reached and the reason He spent time with them? If so, how does that help us decide who to focus on reaching? Reading: Matthew 25:31-46 When there are so many hurting and lost people in the world, how do we choose which individuals the Lord Jesus has called us to help? What is a Person of Peace and who is it? Is there a strategy Jesus employed to reach an un-reached community? Reading: Luke 10:1-13

3 Part 2: Weeks 5-12 Logistics: Practical Aspect of Ministry/Establishing the Vision and Mission Week Topic Description 5 Prayer: Beginning with God s Guidance Every great mission in the Bible is God s vision for us. It was not just a good idea, but the right idea. Reading: Exodus 2:11-12, 3:1-17 (Moses tries to take things into his own hands, and it does not go well.) Acts 13:1-4 (Paul and Barnabas were sent by the Holy Spirit through prayer and fasting with elders and leaders.) Luke 24: Partnering with Senior Leadership Favor flows through leadership. Honoring and working under your leadership s umbrella. Reading: Luke 17:11-14 and 1 Samuel 26: Get to Know Your Culture The most effective outreach for the Gospel requires that we earn the right to speak into lives. This begins by first understanding who they are and where they come from: Who am I serving? What makes them distinct? What is the cultural context of the group I am serving? 8 Specifying the Vision and Mission Clarity of Vision and Mission is vital. What is a Vision? What is a Mission? Reading: 1 Corinthians 9:20-23 ( To the Jew I became a Jew, to the weak, I became weak. Paul understood those he shared with and became their friends.) What is the difference between the two? This will be a workshop to help each other dig deeper into our intended outreach goals and mode of operation in reaching those goals. 9 Empowering a Passionate TEAM! Planning for Your Successor This is an Outreach Team not Spiritual Rambo vs. the World. PART 1 Who is my current team? Have I prayed for the right people? How should I recruit? Who have I asked to join? Who am I asking to join for the future? PART 2 Making room for my Successor(s) Asking God to provide Calling out gifting's in your Successor(s) Reading: Matthew 10: Nuts and Bolts: Part 1 - Budgeting 11 Nuts and Bolts: Part 2 - Calendar of Events Budgeting Workshop: Working together to finish the nuts and bolts of your ministry plan Time/schedule Volunteers needed Estimated financial needs, etc. Knowing your church s regular weekly happenings, plus monthly and annual events. Establishing a group calendar that all youth, ministry leaders and church leadership can access and review up-to-the-minute changes. 12 Launch Plan! How are you announcing your vision and mission to the church and community surrounding the church? How are you promoting your first week/month?
