Journey Group Discipleship

Communicate with your group members toward the end of the year.
Does everyone want to do another year?
Is there anyone that might multiply into another group?
Does anyone not need to be in your group because of lack of availability, commitment, or life circumstance?

REMEMBER

To Do’s in Your First Few Meetings:
1. Go over Discipleship Vision & Distinctives
2. Each share their Spiritual Self-Assessment
3. Each week share one My Spiritual Journey So Far

Journey Tools to Teach Your Group
1. Gospel Waltz (in the first year)
2. Shepherding the Heart (within the first two years)

Principles to remember as you consider starting a new Journey Group:

Feelings of not being worthy or equipped are natural. In fact, many in the Bible that God called felt this way, including Moses, David and Jeremiah, and some of Jesus’ disciples. God loves to equip those he calls. God loves to show off his power and grace through weak people like us.
Pray. Pray about who to ask. Pray about how God wants to use you.
Selection is so important! It’s important who you invite to be in your group. See section on Selection.
Aim for your own spiritual growth. Much of discipleship is simply inviting others into your own pursuit to enjoy God, to feast on his grace, and walk by His Spirit. Trust God to use others to help you grow and to bring them along with you in this pursuit.

Selection of Group Members

The goal of selection is to identify 3-5 faithful, available, teachable and hungry men or women to disciple with the hope that they will grow spiritually and be able to use the gifts God’s given them to disciple others or lead and serve in other ways.
Prayerfully look for your group members — “SELECTION”
