3 1 Agenda Eyewitness Account: Watching God Work Getting Practical: Work The Challenge: God Working Through You
4 2 Watching God Work Bible Study 2010 Shane Multiplication Challenge 2011 Lindsey / 2013 / 2015 / 2016 Pete Cindie Millennials LTC It s about Christians: Susan / Jim It s about non-believers: Brian / Rick
5 3 Encouraging Concepts Foundational Concepts Key Principle This is God s Work, not ours. Scripturally Based Matthew 28: 18-20: Great Commission: Make Disciples by Going, Teaching, and Baptizing (we leave this last one to the formal church), and remember that God is with us ALWAYS 2 Timothy 2:2: We teach others who can teach others Ephesians 6:12: Our battle is a spiritual one and we must employ spiritual weapons Joshua 1:1-9: Joshua s commissioning before conquering the Promised Land: Know that God is with us and the enemy cannot stand against us (v.5, 9) Be strong and courageous - this has a cost and it won t be easy (v. 6, 9) Be holy obey the Law of God (v. 7) Let God s Word be central it will do the work of the heart (v. 8)
6 4 Encouraging Concepts What it Is Three Distinctives: God s Word Prayer Love one another Other Guiding Principles: Simple and Repeatable Each group develops its own personality (not a franchise) Develop lay leadership Self re-producing not dependent on a leader And Keep Reminding Ourselves: Find our first love, as we want to be careful what we ask others to follow
7 5 Why Multiplication? Method #1 - Addition (Share with 1,000 people each day) Year People People Year Reached Reached 1 365, ,570, , ,935, ,095, ,300, ,460, ,665, ,825, ,030, ,190, ,395, ,555, ,760, ,920, ,125, ,285, ,490, ,650, ,855, ,015, ,220, ,380, ,585, ,745, ,950, ,110, ,315, ,475, ,680, ,840, ,045, ,205, ,410,000 (20,000 years to reach the world) Method #2 - Multiplication (Bring in 1 person each year) Year People People Year Reache Reached 1 d , , , TR 21 1,048, ,097, ,194, ,388, ,777, more years? 26 33,554, ,108, , ,217, , ,435, , ,870, , ,073,741, , ,147,483, , ,294,967, , ,589,934,592 (34 years for everyone to be in a small group) 5 years on earth The emphasis is not on the numbers, but on impacting lives one by one by one.
8 6 Encouraging Concepts What it Isn t A Church We are part of God s church on earth, but EC strongly encourages its participants to attend and be committed to a local church. Denomination Specific We have a wide representation of different denominations. God s Word is the focus of the ministry. Allows us to major on the majors. Something that interferes with work We instruct our participants to make up any work time missed due to an EC gathering An officially recognized group within TR Concern over how Corporate oversight might influence our approach.
9 7 Encouraging Concepts Meeting Structure Open in prayer 5-10 minute opening current issue, testimony minute Bible study read designated passage and discuss. Many variations of the same questions: What does this say to you? How can you apply this to your life? Who can you tell? Work through a book of the Bible vs. topical (His message, not ours) Topical discussions mixed in if grounded in God s Word minute prayer time - Prayer, praise or pass (everyone talks) Distribute prayer request via to entire group Be flexible and open to the Holy Spirit s leading
10 8 Encouraging Concepts Additional Thoughts Making it work-friendly: Meet every other week not too burdensome Invitation titled Discussion Group safe for calendars Come as you can no pressure if sessions are missed Send out material covered in advance of meeting Keeping it multiplication-oriented: Encourage lunches, coffee, etc. between meetings Exercise caution to preserve purity (male/female guidelines) Leave title at the door Keep the inviting mentality in the forefront Use Leadership Training Class (LTC) to grow future leaders PRAY! PRAY! PRAY!
11 9 Getting Started Don t overcomplicate this Pray / Pray / Pray Find other Christian(s) to partner with Invite some friends Start!!! Transferrable to Other workplaces Neighborhoods Friends or relatives Want to talk more? Contact: steve.mann@tr.com or Happy to share resources Welcome to visit a session or take LTC We d love to meet to discuss
12 10 The Challenge Isaiah 66:2: To this one I will look, to him who is humble and contrite of spirit, and who trembles at My Word Make relationship with God the priority ministry flows out Tremble = Obedience DO IT! John 3:30: He must increase, but I must decrease. We must disappear, it s not about us. This is His ministry we are just His instruments. Matthew 16:18: On this rock I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it Be prepared for battle We are on the winning team
