Discipleship Course Outline

One of the primary mandates for our Christian discipleship course outline was to make sure that we could equip the Christian community with discipleship tools that were simple to use, easy to teach and easy to understand for a new believer.

It’s seamless

Simply follow the process and the discipleship we have created —- Almost anyone can pick up the coach’s (teachers) manuals, simply follow the format and apply the  instructions we have given you — it is biblically sound and Holy Spirit inspired.

Our Discipleship Course will help you fast track the life of a new believer and take them from a pagan background to a Christian Small Group Leader discipling others in their Mountain of Influence in 12 months or less.

The common feedback we receive is, “our disciples learnt more in 6 months than the average Christian sitting in a church has learnt in 5 years,” or, “why aren’t we being taught this in church?”

“We have taught the basic course —all the work put into Growing Deep and Strong® has made it easy to follow and use — because all the years they put into creating it —  it has given the disciples a great understanding of God’s Word — it’s only God’s word that will change lives — I highly recommend it to everyone.” Heather Ellison.

7 Mountain Mandate

The Discipleship course outline began with the vision to be;

A catalyst and facilitator in developing Christians to become leaders and disciplers of others and  create an environment that develops leaders who change nations.

Our 7 mountain Mandate is to equip the Ecclesia in the Mountain of Religion with a Blueprint for Success so they can — Transfer (Convert) — Disciple — Strengthen — and Send Biblically grounded Societal Reformers back into their Mountain of Influence.

Religion — Family — Education — Government — Media — Business — and Arts/Entertainment.

Where their lifestyle is influenced by a biblical worldview — and the Bible is their standard code of conduct for every decision they make in business, workplace, schools, universities, and their personal life.

It was easy to coach others

“…. it was a learning curve…. interesting to see the dynamics at work… we had a small group of people we were responsible for… we each had 3-5 people to coach… the manuals are fantastic… They outlined and gave direction on what to speak about… What questions to bring up and discuss… gave us guidelines… it gave us back up and knowledge… A lot of depth and knowledge in the scriptures… And was brought out in simplistic terms… And was really easy to teach in simplistic terms… it was great…”  Tammy Broadhead

Empowering You to Disciple Others

It has been designed to empower Christians who have a burning desire to teach new believers on how to live a transformed life according to God’s Word by following the steps we have written in the Coach’s manuals. It is biblically sound and easy to teach.

When a baby is born, it is a basic human instinct to love, care, protect and nurture them. All this is done to ensure that this new creation grows into a healthy human being.

But when someone is born again, most churches are elated, congratulate them and send them on their way into the world. As a result churches are full of baby Christians who never fully developed spiritually. Even if they were born again decades earlier.

The purpose of the Growing Deep and Strong® series is to help you establish a new believer quickly with strong Biblical foundations, free them from past bondages that they may bring into their Christian walk, help them discover their God given gifts, teach them how to evangelize people they know and then equip them to be a Coach and disciple new Christians. (Matthew 28: 18-20)

It laid the foundations for my Christian walk

“I was introduced to Growing Deep and Strong® shortly after I met Jesus — it had a profound impact on my life — I had a lot stuff and baggage from my past — I learnt the mechanics of a Christian life — how to get rid of past issues — how to grow in an intimate relationship with God — it gave me the foundations to grow my faith — how to be successful in life — very grateful for the Growing Deep and Strong® materials — I have seen others who haven’t had strong foundations like this really struggle in there Christian walk — I strongly recommend it from a personal experience.”–Tom Peters

Transforming lives

Once people become new believers, you can teach them how to live a transformed life according to God’s Word using the Growing Deep and Strong® Christian discipleship and small group leadership program.

You can tailor the program to coincide with school terms and spread it over a 19-37 week period or longer.

You can choose a 19 or 37 Weeks Discipleship Course

Evangelism and Discipling Others

“When God’s people are truly revived and renewed spiritually, it results in a new vision for a lost world and a new commitment to reach out to those who do not belong to Christ. Evangelism is the fruit of revival.” Rev. Billy Graham

You will find that by now your new disciples will have a strong desire to share with their circle of influence what God has done in their lives. The Advanced discipleship course helps you to equip them to evangelize their circle of influence and become a small group leader discipling others.

Module 3. The War Is Real

Firstly, the module has been designed to help your disciples discover their own unique God-given gifts and how they can best use their gifts as they serve God and help others.

Secondly, this module teaches on spiritual warfare, combining prayer, intercession and fasting as spiritual weapons against the enemy who blinds the eyes of those living in the kingdom of darkness.

The third aspect is to help your disciples apply the principles of prayer warfare practically by targeting three people in their circle of influence and praying for them over a 40-day period with the aim of seeing them come into the kingdom of God.

The topics include:

The video presentation called ^©Behind The Scenes has been designed as an effective evangelism tool for presenting the Gospel to their friends at the conclusion of their 40-day prayer warfare.

• New converts from prayer evangelism

New disciples of Jesus are the result of prayer warfare and evangelism. This is how new groups of brand new believers are multiplied.

Ideally, the person who prayed new believers into God’s kingdom would follow them up, and become their coach.

With your oversight as their coach they would become a coach and assist the new believer to begin Module One while they themselves complete module four, Discipling Others.

This is the beginning of your disciples becoming a coach and small group leader learning to disciple others.

It changed my life forever

“Growing Deep and Strong® showed me Biblical principles on how we should be living our lives — I learnt that God is love and bad stuff that has happened in my life was because of my Godless actions — my family did the course with me — I learnt how I am meant to treat people — I now care more about other people — I am more successful in my job — Growing Deep and Strong® has changed my life. and it will change yours too — I highly recommend it.” —- CHRIS MOONEY
