Last week I focused on the evangelistic aspect of the Blessing Group Ministry model. Today I will focus on the training up of a disciple.
The discipleship process recognizes and clearly identifies different stages of the growth of the disciple, and trains appropriately. It focuses on biblical teaching in a practical way. There are four levels of this discipleship training. It differs from conventional discipleship curriculums which usually focuses on knowledge. This curriculum ranges from keys to the Christian life, training on evangelism to skills on leading a cell group.
Another key aspect of this model is the shifting from a classroom lecture style, to a one-to-one model. It aims to develop a mature disciple who to not only “gives birth” (brings someone to Christ) but also “nurture” (disciple this person to maturity) as part of the complete discipleship cycle.
Here’s what one of our pilot group member said:
“This discipleship training is a staged curriculum. It has clear goals and targeted teaching, and is dependent on the Holy Spirit to build up the disciple. In building up disciples that can “give birth” and “nurture” others, with the practice of evangelism and discipleship training, the result is a mature disciple who has a burden for the lost and building up others.”
上週,我們分享了幸福小組事工模式在傳福音方面的特色。今天,我會集中討論幸福門徒訓練(幸福門訓)的模式。
幸福門訓的過程需要認識並清楚地確定門徒成長的不同階段,以進行對焦的培訓。它注重以實用的方式進行聖經教學。門徒訓練分為四個階段,有別於傳統的門訓課程重於知識傳遞,這課程包括了從信徒生活要門到傳福音訓練,再而到帶領小組的態度與技巧等。
這事工模式的另一個重點是從課室授課轉變為一對一的模式,鼓勵成熟的信徒在整個訓練的循環模式中不僅「能生」(領人歸主),而且「能養」(培訓至長成)。
一位學員這樣形容:
“這是一個分階段有清晰目標和對焦的教導,倚靠聖靈來建立門徒的門訓課程。建立「能生能養」的門徒,因為有實作的傳福音和門訓的學習,成長後的門徒便漸漸有信心承擔傳福音和建立門徒的使命。”
