1 USER S DETAILS FULL NAME OF DISCIPLE: ACTIVE PHONE #: NAME OF DISCIPLER: DISCIPLER S ACTIVE PHONE #: INTRODUCTION This discipleship curriculum is meant to streamline the CDM discipleship structure and facilitate easy transfer of course content. We admit however that the preliminary preparations for this training may differ depending on the needs of the disciple. Nonetheless, this curriculum is partitioned into four (4) main stages, namely: 1

2 CHRISTLIKE DISCIPLEMAKERS MOVEMENT Stage One: The preparatory stage, where the young believer is taught to commit to a lifelong pursuit of Christlikeness. Stage Two: Christian Foundations, where the disciple is taught the basic but necessary principles of Christianity. Stage Three: Spiritual Growth, here, the disciple is taught and trained on how to personally grow as a believer and help other young believers to grow spiritually Stage Four: Spiritual Maturity, this stage seeks to position the disciple for a stable and consistent walk with God in sound doctrine, Christlike character, ministry fruitfulness and intimacy with God. INSTRUCTION TO DISCIPLERS 1. We encourage all disciplers to complete this training in one (1) year and this requires that they meet their disciples regularly for at least once (1) every week of the year for at least 2 physical contact hours Disciplers should use a combination of teaching and training, practicals, presentations, group discussions and assessment of lessons. For the Preparatory and Foundations stages (that is, stages 1 and 2), presentations are not compulsory but for the Spiritual Growth and Maturity stages (that is, stages 3 and 4), it is a must. 3. Disciplers are also encouraged to adhere to this structure for uniformity and ease of course content transfer. 4. They must encourage young disciples to begin praying and scouting for their own disciples before beginning Stage three of their discipleship training.

3 HOW TO USE THIS CURRICULUM CHRISTLIKE DISCIPLEMAKERS MOVEMENT To get the best out of this program, disciplers and disciples need the book, Making Christlike Disciples by Rev. and Mrs. JFK Mensah as their main reference book for teaching and learning as well as portions of their book on Christlikeness and part of the CDM Bible College course materials. Disciples are also encouraged to buy and complete a copy each of the various work books, namely: 1. Work Book 1 for Christian Foundations 2. Work Book 2 for Spiritual Growth 3. Work Book 3 for Spiritual Maturity (which will be available soon) From time to time, CDM will publish a list of approved disciplers for members without CDM disciplers to choose from. We trust that this curriculum will help you in your journey to becoming like Christ (1 Cor. 11:1) and making disciples for Him (Matt28:18-20). Thank you and God bless you. 3
