Discipled Nation Plan is innovative adult
small group material that focuses on getting
people discipling in their everyday lives.
The four workbook series offer 40 "knowing
& doing" sessions in the areas of discipling
self, family, congregation,
and neighborhood.
It is ideal for church small group ministry,
adult Sunday school and Bible study programs,
and even one-on-one discipling.
We provide well-designed Leader's Guides
for each area that addresses up to 33
different types of learning styles. In
putting the guides together, we strived
to reduce the prep-time for teachers and
engage each participant in thought- and
action-provoking activities, shared experiences,
and group discussion. Pastor's Guides
are also available for those seeking to
revitalize their discipling programs church-wide.
After one class, you will see that this material
is unique:
It follows a plan. A Discipled Nation
Plan is a logical approach to making
disciples- first by discipling self,
then family,
congregation,
and neighborhood.
By following a plan, these easy-to-use
tools teach Christians at all levels
the essentials of being and making disciples.
The material provides a progression
that gradually moves people from an
inward focus and personal application
of discipling to an outreach posture
in their neighborhoods.
It is practical.
The studies and activities
are practical applications of faith.
The 40 lessons are short and targeted
on specific discipling issues and supported
by daily applications and devotionals.
It
offers daily opportunities. Each
session has six life application assignments,
called "Daily Challenges," that present
brief real-life opportunities to learn
and grow and make disciples.
It encourages participation. The materials
are designed for significant group participation,
taking the focus off of the teacher
and placing it on the group members.
As participants grow comfortable sharing
their experiences in discipling, you
will run out of time to cover all of
the material because of the inspired
class discussion.
It gets people to practice their faith.
The Daily Challenges are specifically
designed to get participants to disciple
in their daily lives. They give achievable
goals that provide perspective and a
basis for spiritual growth. When undertaken
in faith, these challenges really open
up a life to the discipling work of
the Holy Spirit.
While progressive, the workbooks and sessions
stand alone. While the material
follows a progressive plan, we conscientiously
designed each session and each workbook
to stand alone. We believe this material
will impact the participants with each
and every session, whether they have
completed the just first session or
the thirty-first.
It allows for flexibility. Because
of the material's structure and the
excellent supporting leader's guides,
churches are using this material in
a myriad of ways- in Bible studies,
new believer orientations, small group
programs, youth and adult Sunday school,
and even prison ministries. Teachers
enjoy the flexibility too, through reviewing
of previous daily challenges, initiating
discussion with an "ice breaker" or
"team building" exercise from the Leader's
Guide, or running through the material
start-to-finish, having pre-assigned
the challenges the week before.
We provide information on each area, including
downloadable samples. Please visit these

Plan unique. |
