#4. Disciple-Disciple
Integrated and Created a Ministry - As I integrated my E.T.S. studies,
I developed and created a ministry for groups. For examples combined book
number one with many of my relevant learning. I integrated personal examples,
memorized verses, prayer, and meditation. I established and taught a nine
and a sixteen-week programmed discipleship group, "Experiencing Daily Victory.”
Next, I sought individual disciples.
Disciples - After the groups call to service in Christ was extended;
it expanded. The group produced a first disciple. As my disciple's involvement
increased, I wanted to include others, so well that I presented it as a
call to Revival at the Praise group, and this call produced a second
disciple. Then, my next responsibility was to work with my disciples
out side of our E.T.S courses work. I needed help in facilitating small groups
and leading the main group, so each disciple led a small group within the
study. I followed up on my disciples within the discipleship relationship.
I later encouraged my disciples to help lead the "Experiencing Daily Victory"
group. They took turns teaching and I followed up, mentoring them
about leading a main study group.
Established Another Group - The E.T.S. experience continued to
help me to minister. I started another group, "Bearing Fruit" it was topic
focused: "Raising Single Parent Children in Tough Times," "Escaping
the Darkness," and "Being Content With My Money." It grew too, so I elected
previous respected attendee's of my "Experiencing Daily Victory" group to
help lead the small groups.
As A Discipler - I completed the mentoring of my two disciples, throughout
to completion of E.T.S. that consisted of about two years each and finished
our formal discipleship relationship. My disciples each taught a disciple
while I continued to mentor them. In a final blessing, I selected a new
disciple, a Lady, and we eventually married.
