I would also encourage the church to go out and develop relationships with the lost and share the gospel with them. What is your church doing to equip them to share the gospel with others? Go and Tell is an easy and practical way to equip you to become a fisher of men (Matthew 4:19). This three hour interactive seminar will provide you with the tools to “be active in sharing your faith so that you will have a full understanding of every good thing we have in Christ.” (Philemon 6) Go and Tell is free online at www.declarethegospel.com

First is a great tool to tell others about God and guide them trough the process of receiving Christ as their Savior.  But also made me recognized how selfish we can be sometimes when we don't share God's love and mercy with others."

How do you disciple a new believer? We tend to make disciples the way we were discipled but for so many of us that meant coming to sit at church and not learning how to make disciples who make disciples. Jesus recognized that the people He encountered were at different stages of growth and development, and He worked to challenge each of them to the next level. 

Who then should attend the 4 Chair Discipling Seminar?  Anyone who you want to see challenged to be a disciple who makes disciples!  During the 4 Chair Discipling Seminar, we will answer the following questions: 

• What is a disciple?

• Who is the model for being a disciple?

• What is a disciple's mission?

• What is a disciple's motivation?

• What is the process of becoming a disciple who makes disciples?

• Where am I in the disciple-making process?  What are my next steps?

In 4 Chair Discipling, you’ll get a clear and simple picture of how to follow in Jesus’ footsteps and to do the same thing. Included in the 4 Chair Discipling Seminar:

• A fresh look at Jesus as our model for being a disciple who makes disciples

• An overview of the 4 Chair Discipling process, highlighting Jesus' 4 challenges

• A simple understanding of what we need to know and do to grow to be like Jesus in our character and priorities

• A simple understanding of what we need to know and do to become fishers of men

• A simple understanding of the barriers that keep us from moving to the next chair and how we experience breakthrough

May the Lord bless every CRC church and every believer with the joy of making disciples who make disciples who make disciples…

Our goal on working with returning felons and their families is not just social justice but to bring them to salvation in Jesus Christ. I lead a Celebrate Recovery group for Allen County Community Corrections. We are helping returning felons work on their recovery from drug, alcohol addictions and their hurts, hang-ups and habits that are destructive. We have a family ministry for their spouse and children plus we provide a meal. BUT our main goal is not just to help them re-enter society from prison but to bring them to faith in Jesus Christ. As is it written in Romans 10:9-15, "If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. 11 As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.” 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.14 How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? 15 And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” We must be intentional on sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ with those we are helping re-enter society from prison. As we do, they will say (and they have said to us) how beautiful you are for sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ with us and for bringing us to salvation in Jesus Christ!

Thanks for the great resources Wendy! I attended several Advancing Churches in Missions seminars with David Mays from 2000-2010. The Lord used him to help me and many others develop a mission mindset for the Kingdom of God. He was influential in helping us seek think of missions locally and globally!

The Lord has blessed us with many salvations at Community CRC (Fort Wayne IN) in the past several years.
