INTENSIFIED PASTORS’ TRAINING N THE G12 VISION Il HOW TO BUILD STRONG DISCIPLES Breakthroughs happen because God is the one that creates them. not us. His miracles happen by using our lives in ministering to other people. With that in mind, we should always remember our purpose, which is to love God and to ‘ove people (Matthew 2237-39). In pouring our hears fo God, aways expect treat things from Him. The only reason why we can minister to other people is Because God Is the first One who ministered in our lives. ‘Always remember that in leaderstip, i's good to lead, but i's not good to lead alone. As you share what you received from the love of God, you have a different approach in sharing what you are going through.

Pray for hem ond let Godiintercede with you fo protect your disciples from the works of the enemy. As you bring your disciples to God's presence, back ther up with prayer and clways motivate them to atiend church (Hebrews 10:24). Goal #2: Develop the hab! of fransformation ‘As we go fo our next level. you may experience struggles, but itis needed for you to grow. That the greater struggle, the greater we grow from il. Don't expect that you wil not experience struggles when you become a leader, in fact itis a test of your faithiviness to the people that God has entrusted fo you. ‘speak the right words; avoid the wrong ones. Show your right gestures, At the ‘wrong attitude. You may start as the positional leader, but go fo relational leadership, which wil make you likeable by your disciples. ”INTENSIFIED PASTORS’ TRINING IN THE G12 VISION ‘Goalf3: Show your fellowership ‘There ore times that the purpose of the tasks given fo us could be hard for us to ‘understand, but as we submit and obey fo our leaders. we are being models to ‘our disciples thal we help our leaders to become successful.

Yet they forget fo consider that Jesus s Lord and accepting Him requires accepting His Lordship over the lives, This is the same when it comes fe discipleship. In order to become genvine disciples, these are the requirements that we need fo remind ‘them: 1.

Every cell group must focus on rapid multiplication ‘The success of the multiplication of the church lies on the multiplication of the ll. A leader must have © sense of urgency, multiplying the cells as many and «as fast as he or she can. He or she Is the one fo motivate the cell member: to Involve. As more people are being saved, this assures the continsity of the work ‘and the sharing of the gospel 7. Only trained cell leaders in PEPSOL can open a cell Everyone goes into the ight process.

You can only open a ceili your mother cell has completed his/her cel members ‘The church must be building two networks: the men and women network. Each cell goup is a homogeneous consisting of 12 cell members. The primary 12 has to be completed fist then, they willbe completing their own 12 and so on.

THE IMPORTANCE OF CELL LIFESTYLE “They devoted themselves fo the aposties' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and fo prayer. Everyone was filed with awe at the many ‘wonders and signs performed by the apostles. All the belevers were together {and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions fo give to ‘anyone who had need. Every day they continued fo meet together in the temple courts. hey broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hears, praising God and enjoying the favor of al he people. And the Lord added fo their number daily those who were being saved.” Acts 2:42-47 We all have our own ways and styles on how we want fo live ourlives ~ the ‘way we dress up, how we look physically, nd many more. We have a free will to decide and fo develop our own styles. But there are certain things that wil never work if we wil follow our own style. Our spittual growth and church lifestyle ‘re part of those. f we will allow differen! ways in the church, everyone's spitual ‘growth and maturity are at risk. ‘Two Greatest Meetings We hove large meetings and small/cell group meetings. A great example of « large mesting is the weekly Sunday Service. Through the Sunday Service, we are being empowered together as one Body of Chist. For us to have a strong fellowship with one another, we need fo attend a cell group so we can interact with our fellow disciples by sharing our own testimony. Through cell ‘group, we have a leader who can guide usin our spiritual growth and matuity.. Purpose of the Cell Cellis for evangelism. Every cell group has a calling to evangelize so we can fulfill the Great Commission. The second purpose of a cell group is leadership development. Before we evangelize, we need trainings and equipping. In a cell group, we are trained fo lead people cnd we are being transformed according fo Christ character. We leam to really love people just the way Jesus loves them. The third purpose of a cell is rapid multiplication. A cell group intended to grow and advance the kingdom of God. Four Stages of Cell Group 4sINTENSIFIED PASTORS’ TRAINING INTHE G12 VISION 1. Honeymoon Stage isthe stage where everyone is hoppy and excited having fellowship with everyone inside the cell. This common to newly opened cels. 2. Conflict Stage is when a cell group undergoes conflicts. Every cell group will experience confict. Conflic is needed to strengthen our relationship with each other, and it helps us become problem solvers. If you have experienced conflct in your cell group, you can handle other conflicts i wil be easy for you because you have been there. When your disciples ‘do not change, be the fist one to change. God wants us fo leam how to manage confit. Conflict is there not to destroy us but for us to leam how fo overcome it. 3. Community Stage is when you have been victorious in conflicts. Because ‘of the conflicts, your ralalionship with your disciples is strengthened. You have commonaiity and you begin to become a community. 4. Mutiplication Stage is when you have reached unity in the cell group and has become @ community. You cannot multiply if you haven't gone Info the confict and community stages. ‘The only way for us fo be devoted Is involvement. We are not able to go into our nex! level because we do no! involve. If we want to grow, It wil not be ‘according to our own lifestyle. We must fuly devote ourselves to teachings, the breaking of bread ond fo prayer. We should not create our own style based on what is convenient for our spiftual growth. We have a cell We cycle in the church that's proven and that we should follow. We should not miss the two greatest meetings and clways be reminded of the reason why cels exist. Fnaly, we must remember that conflctis there not fo destroy us but for us to leam how to overcome F. We need fo learn to set things aside and forgive.INTENSIFIED PASTORS TRAINING IN THE G12 VISION Il, G12 WORKING SYSTEM Maternity (Winning) Winning a person is not about converting him into @ new religion, but i's about connecting Him to Chis. He must receive Jesus as His personal Lord and Savior {ot hifh 10 expetiehice salvation. There are fout Ways in which we can win people for Chiist. 1. One Verse Evangelism This is the very basic too! in presenting the gospel through Romans 6:23. In just 5- 18 minutes, you can shere salvation and God's love as shert, simple and cleor as ‘possible In just one verse in the Bible. Romans 6:23 declares, “For the wages of sins death, but the gift of God is etemal fe in Chvist Jesus our Lord.” The goal of the One Verse Evangelism is to help the unbeliever understand salvation by explaining the 9 Important key words in the verse: wages, sin, death, but, gift, God, eternal fe, Civist Jesus, and Lord. The evangelism must ‘end up with the unbeliever accepting the gift hat God is offering through two Imporiant decisions: confession and surencier. 2.Cell Group One of the focuses of a cell group is to develop lifestyle evangelism. Every col ‘group must be a winning machine. That's why its important to set a winning, ‘atmosphere in the cell. tis the best place to win people because of the ‘community atmosphere. New people in the cell wil feel that they belong and. that they are not alone. New people must be given an opportunity to suender thei lives to God in the Cel. A cell ecder must know how to Conduct an altar callin cell, Before the cell ends, the gospel must be presented so that the new believers wil receive salvation right at that moment. 3. Services By bringing fis-imers in our services (Sunday. Youth, Professionals etc.) we alow them fo receive the highes! ministry level which comes ttom the Senior Pastors. Thi lessens the part ofc Cel leader Because in al ofthese services, the preachers always conduct altar calls thus giving the unbelievers an opportunity to give their vas to Jesus ”INTENSIFIED PASTORS' TRAINING IN THE G12 VISION Every cell leader must know how fo maximize these services. People inviled in services have high retention percentage because they are consolidated by the church. They are not only connected to the person who invited him, but also fo the leaders and members of the whole church. 4. Special Events and Gatherings Through these events and gatherings, a cell leader can anticipate, thus giving him appropriate fime to set goals and strategize in winning. The best thing about special events ond gatherings is the power of massive invitation. These are Usually done inside the campuses, whenever there are university fairs or college ‘weeks. The youth ministry can conduct roomto-room invitations, or even release promotional materials o ensure many invites. These special events and gatherings must be done with a clear purpose. If the Purpose of the activity is to gather multitudes inside the campus, every leader ‘who will work forthe event must focus on that goal. Home (Cell Allocation) ‘When a baby is bom, his parents bring him home for him fo be cared for and. ‘nurtured. No parent would leave their new born child in the hospital or out in the street and say “Hope you make itl" Rather, they would bring the child home {and fake care of the baby. Likewise with the sptitual, every new bellever (those ‘who just accepted Christ as Lord and Savior) should recelve the nurture and ‘core so that they would grow in spitiual matuty. Every new bom Chstion must bbe brought to their spiritual home — the cel group. Inside the cell, the cell leaders stand as spiitual parents. Spintual parents are there to monitor the spiritual growth of the new Chiistions, They need to receive Inspiration and instruction. Every cell leader must have a clear goal for every ‘member in the eel Members are not mean! fo remain as members forever, rather become leaders ofleaders. ‘A.cell group must never be a “bus-type ministry", where it has many passengers tt the start but when it reaches the destination, ends up empty: and wherein we ‘re able to gather the harvest but fails to preserve them and tring them up in spifval maturity. We must never look at ob cell members as passengers, but ‘they are our disciples, and that we would lake care of them like how parents take core of thelr child, The focus of a coll must be clear fo every cell leader. The cell must focus on Itestyle evangelism, leadership development and a multiplying ministry. The cel leader must have the vision for promotion. A cel is no! intended for aINTENSIFIED PASTORS’ TRAINING IN THE 632 VISION permanent nursery, but it must be a breeding ground of leaders. Every person's leadership must be unleashed inside the cell. Schoo! (Training / Equipping Track) ‘The process never stops in the home (cell). Unless you send them fo the process, ‘whatever you did in the cell wil be useless. The people that have been consolidated are being sent in the trainings where they wil be equipped and raised up to become leaders of leaders. This training/equipping track is called the PEPSOL: Pre Encounter, Encounter, Post Encounter, School of Leaders (SOL) 1.2, ane! 3. Ideally, one fakes 9-12 months to araduate in the whole process. Through this process, people gain more understanding of the vision. Ths is God's ‘design for discipleship as He showed on how He taught people of His ways. We should nol just settle to be believers but become leaders who wil take part in the advancement of God's kingdom. We don't count numbers, we count leaders! The leaders are the ones who determine the strength of the church to ‘accommodate new believers. (One person can only cater 12 people, lke Jesus having only 12 0s His primary disciples. The equipping track helps the church to experience multiplication. In ‘order fo have that exponential growth, this 12 should also have their 12 to create @ 144 congregation, and this 144 having their 12, multiplying to 1,728 people. This can only be done if the church is raising their members as leaders. Carrying the sense of urgency fo evangelize and disciple people. The PEPSOL itcining teaches every student of this process: Gathering, Preserving, T ‘and Empowering the harvest. Alter the training, they too, should involve in winning people to God, consolidating them, and sending them to trainings as well fo produce leaders ‘who will do the same, And the cycle continues. The Hidden System: PTA, In every school, there is what we call the PTA (Porents-Teachers Association) which encompasses a close coordination between the parents and the teacher of the student. It goes the same with the PEPSOL. Every cel leader and teacher ‘must work hand-in-hand with each other. An effective PTA in the PEPSOL Training ensures quality consoldation and discipleship for the students. They must communicate with each other for the purpose of establishing ways to minister to and disciple the students.INTENSIFIED PASTORS!
