========================
What are we going to do?
========================
We are going to
discuss the following:
o The organization of the roadmap for you to help others
become a disciple maker of disciple makers of disciple makers (DM3).
o How you can help a disciple become a disciple maker (DM1).
o How you can help a disciple become a disciple maker of
disciple makers (DM2).
o How you can help a disciple become a disciple maker of
disciple makers of disciple makers (DM3).
========================
What are we going to do?
========================
========================
The organization of the
roadmap for you to help others become DM3
========================
What does it take for you to
help others become a disciple maker of disciple makers of disciple makers (DM3)? Please consider the following generations of disciples:
You =>Bob=>Jane=>Mike=>Deb
You would have helped Bob
become DM3 when three milestones in the discipleship continuum have been
reached. The current document documents
the roadmap for you to reach the three
milestones. Each milestone in the
roadmap is marked green and has the following
meanings:
The first
milestone indicates the point when you have helped
Bob become a disciple maker (DM1) upon an uncommitted
disciple Jane becoming committed and Bob s CBS group becoming a church with Jane in it, as a result of
disciple-making activities that have taken place prior to the first milestone.
The second
milestone indicates the point when you have helped
Bob become a disciple maker of disciple
makers (DM2) upon an uncommitted disciple Mike
becoming committed and Jane s CBS group
becoming a church with Mike in it, as a result of disciple-making activities that have taken
place between the first and the second milestones.
The third
milestone indicates the point when you have helped
Bob become a disciple maker of disciple
makers of disciple makers (DM3) upon an uncommitted disciple Deb becoming committed and Mike s CBS group becoming a church with Deb in it, as a result of
disciple-making activities that have taken place between the second and the third
milestones.
The roadmap looks a bit complex but the look of complexity would give way to the
visual discernment of the roadmap as three successions of the repeating pattern
of an uncommitted disciple becoming committed and a CBS group becoming a church
with the newly committed disciple in it, along with mobilization and accountability
activities of fishing for people sprinkled throughout. Visual discernment of the roadmap is further
made easier with the following color designations:
The color black
indicates activities documented in the document Guidelines for the Facilitator
of the CDMCPM Session .
The
color blue indicates mobilization and accountability activities of fishing for
people taken up by you with Bob during the weekly
coaching session.
The
color brown indicates mobilization and accountability activities of
fishing for people taken up by Bob with Jane during the weekly coaching session.
Please note that you and the other actors in the roadmap do not need to
make a conscientious effort to act in accordance with what is documented in the
roadmap in order for Bob
to become DM3. In fact
every facilitator only needs to follow instructions in the document Guidelines
for the Facilitator of the CDMCPM Session and every coach instructions in the
coaching checklists, and the roadmap would work itself out with the outcome
that you have helped Bob become DM3.
A facilitator s deviation
from the guidelines for the facilitator will be corrected by the coach during
the weekly coaching session. Since the
coach primarily reads questions off of the coaching
checklists during the coaching session, the opportunity for a coach to deviate
from the checklists is limited and the coach can be expected to keep the facilitator
from deviation. So
the correction mechanism afforded by the coaching session for deviation from
the guidelines for the facilitator would allow the roadmap to work itself
out. The roadmap is made available only
to give you an estimate of the entire string of
events that culminates in reaching the milestone of helping others become DM3. It ties things together for you so that you can check your own progress in the
discipleship continuum.
========================
========================
You have helped Bob
become a disciple maker (DM1) when an uncommitted disciple Jane becomes
committed and Bob s CBS group becomes a church with Jane in it by the end of this block.
========================
As a participant
in the CBS (Catechized Bible Study) session in your
church, Bob
o Learns how to create an Oikos map.
o Creates an Oikos map and put
on it people from his relational network.
o Consistently prays for people on his Oikos map.
In the course of
time the Holy Spirit puts the desire in Bob for
him to start his own CBS group.
When you ask the church during the VISION CASTING ' segment
if anyone wants to play the role of the
facilitator in a future CDMCPM session, Bob raises
his hand.
You advise Bob to do
the following:
o Read the document Guidelines for the Facilitator of
the CDMCPM Session .
o Keep a written record of the goals of obedience set by
all the participants in the CDMCPM session just prior to the CDMCPM session
when he will play the role of the facilitator.
o Keep a written record of the goals of fishing for
people set by all the participants in the CDMCPM session just prior to the CDMCPM
session when he will play the role of the facilitator.
o Pray throughout the week prior to the CDMCPM session when
he will play the role of the facilitator for every participant who has set a
goal of obedience.
o Pray throughout the week prior to the CDMCPM session when
he will play the role of the facilitator for every participant who has set a
goal of fishing for people.
Bob has gone through playing the role of the facilitator
a few times. Every time you give Bob feedback
on his performance and he has become increasingly more
proficient in playing the role.
During the 'SET
GOAL & PRAY' segment at a CDMCPM session you
mobilize participants in your church to set goals of fishing for people by
asking them the following questions:
o Whom on your Oikos map are you going to share bible
passages or stories of Jesus with? (Two
generations are involved for mobilizing a participant to share.)
o Whom on your Oikos map are you going to invite to the
CBS group you are in the process of starting?
(Two generations are involved for
mobilizing a participant to start a group.)
o Whom on your Oikos map are you going to invite to the
CBS group you have started? (Two
generations are involved for mobilizing a participant to invite people.)
Bob responds to your
mobilization and sets a goal of sharing with his friend Jane stories of Jesus he has learned from the bible study with
the intention of inviting her to a CBS group he is starting.
During that segment,
other participants intercede on Bob s behalf
for the goal of fishing for people he has set.
Throughout the
following week other participants keep interceding on Bob s
behalf for the matter.
One day the
following week Bob meets Jane at lunch, shares stories of Jesus with her and
invites her to a CBS group he is starting.
The Holy Spirit is at work within Jane and she agrees to come.
At the CDMCPM
session the following week a participant in your
church during the 'LOVING ACCOUNTABILITY & PRAY' segment says that he/she
has been praying for Bob throughout the week
since the previous session concerning his stated goal to fish for people and
then performs the accountability function on him of his goal.
Bob responds to the participant by saying that Jane agrees to come to the CBS group he is
starting.
During that
segment, some participants give thanks to God on Bob s
behalf concerning progress of fishing for people that he has made and ask the
Holy Spirit to help Jane come to a saving
knowledge of the Lord Jesus through the CBS light of the gospel of Mark.
From that point
on Bob becomes the leader of the child CBS
group while attending the parent church.
While
facilitating his CBS group, Bob finds the
bible study frequently going off track as a result of
participants going off in all sorts of directions and asks you for advice for the situation.
You respond by saying that Bob
should insist on the need to finish all the questions as the means of taking
back control.
As Jane participates in the weekly CDMCPM session and
goes through the CBS light of the gospel of Mark in Bob s
group, the Holy Spirit continues to work within her.
Upon completion
of the CBS of Repent, Believe the Good News and Be Baptized , Jane is asked if she is willing to repent, believe
the good news and be baptized.
Jane answers in the affirmative.
Jane is then baptized and becomes a committed disciple.
When Bob s CBS group has gone through the short-term
discipleship series for church formation,
o The group becomes a church.
o Bob
becomes overseer of the church.
o Bob
no longer attends the parent church.
o Bob
starts receiving weekly coaching from you.
As overseer of
the child church, Bob facilitates the CDMCPM
sessions based on:
o The way he has seen it done by you.
o The experience he has had in facilitating the CDMCPM
session of the parent church under your guidance
before becoming overseer of the child church.
o Advice Bob receives
from you on his performance as facilitator.
o Information from the document Guidelines for the
Facilitator of the CDMCPM Session .
In your effort to
help Bob, you
have practiced the MAWL (Model, Assist, Watch, Leave) principle in regard to the participants with Bob
as the example in the following manner:
o Model playing the role of the facilitator in front of Bob through routinely facilitating the CDMCPM
session.
o Assist Bob in
taking on the role of the facilitator by providing
Ample opportunity
for him to play the role so that he becomes sufficiently proficient in
executing the responsibilities of being a facilitator.
Feedback on his
performance and advice for improvement.
o Watch over Bob as
he facilitates the CBS light of the gospel Mark in his own group and answer any
questions he has while facilitating the group.
o Leave and release Bob
who is leader of his own group so that
His group becomes
a church.
He becomes
overseer of the church.
He no longer
attends the parent church.
o Provide Bob with coaching
on a weekly basis.
By this time
you have reached the milestone of helping Bob
become a disciple maker (DM1).
========================
========================
You have helped Bob
become a disciple maker of disciple makers (DM2) when an uncommitted disciple
Mike becomes committed and Jane s
CBS group becomes a church with Mike in it by
the end of this
block.
========================
During
your weekly coaching session with Bob, you ask him the questions that are on the
checklist of setting goals of fishing for people if participants in his church identify
people on their Oikos map that they are going to:
o
Share
bible passages or stories of Jesus with. (Three generations are involved for mobilizing the grandchild
to share.)
o
Invite
to the CBS group they are in the process of starting. (Three generations
are involved for mobilizing the grandchild to start a group.)
o
Invite
to the CBS group they have started. (Three generations are involved for mobilizing the grandchild
to invite people.)
Bob responds by saying that none of the
participants has done so.
You continue with the coaching checklist of
setting goals of fishing for people by asking Bob the
question if he is helping participants in his church get ready so that they can
start their own CBS groups.
Bob responds by saying that he is helping them
but none of them has set any goal of fishing for people yet. With persistent mobilization from you, Bob redoubles his effort to mobilize
participants in his church to set goals of fishing for people.
As a participant
in the CDMCPM session at Bob s church, Jane
o Learns how to create an Oikos map.
o Creates an Oikos map and puts on it
people from her relational network.
o Consistently prays for people on her Oikos map.
In the course of
time the Holy Spirit puts the desire in Jane
for her to start her own CBS group.
When Bob asks his church during the VISION CASTING ' segment
in the CDMCPM session if anyone wants to play
the role of the facilitator in a future CDMCPM session, Jane raises her hand.
Bob advises Jane to do
the following:
o Read the document Guidelines for the Facilitator of
the CDMCPM Session .
o Keep a written record of the goals of obedience set by
all the participants in the CDMCPM session just prior to the CDMCPM session
when she will play the role of the facilitator.
o Keep a written record of the goals of fishing for
people set by all the participants in the CDMCPM session just prior to the CDMCPM
session when she will play the role of the facilitator.
o Pray throughout the week prior to the CDMCPM session when
she will play the role of the facilitator for every participant who has set a
goal of obedience.
o Pray throughout the week prior to the CDMCPM session when
she will play the role of the facilitator for every participant who has set a
goal of fishing for people.
Jane has gone through playing the role of the facilitator
a few times. Every time Bob gives Jane feedback
on her performance and she has become increasingly

(Two generations are involved for
mobilizing a participant to start a group.)
o Whom on your Oikos map are you going to invite to the
CBS group you have started? (Two
generations are involved for mobilizing a participant to invite people.)
Jane responds to Bob s
mobilization and sets a goal of sharing with her friend Mike stories of Jesus she has learned from the bible study with
the intention of inviting him to a CBS group she is starting.
During that
segment, other participants intercede on Jane s
behalf for the goal of fishing for people she has set.
Throughout the
following week other participants keep interceding on Jane s
behalf for the matter.
One day the
following week Jane meets Mike at lunch, shares stories of Jesus with him and
invites him to a CBS group Jane is
starting. The Holy Spirit is at work within Mike
and he agrees to come.
At the CDMCPM
session the following week a participant in Bob s
church during the 'LOVING ACCOUNTABILITY & PRAY' segment says that he/she
has been praying for Jane throughout the
week since the previous session concerning her stated goal to fish for people
and then performs the accountability function on her of her goal.
Jane responds to the participant by saying that Mike agrees to come to the CBS group she is
starting.
During that
segment, some participants give thanks to God on Jane s
behalf concerning progress of fishing for people that she has made and ask the
Holy Spirit to help Mike come to a saving
knowledge of the Lord Jesus through the CBS light of the gospel of Mark.
During
your subsequent weekly coaching session with Bob, you ask him the questions that are on the
checklist of accountability for fishing for people if participants in his
church honor their stated goal to:
o Share bible passages or stories of Jesus
with people on their Oikos map. (Three generations are involved for the accountability of the
grandchild to share.)
o Invite people on their Oikos map to the CBS
group they are in the process of starting. (Three generations are involved for the
accountability of the grandchild to start a group.)
o Invite people on their Oikos map to the CBS
group they have started. (Three generations are involved for the accountability of the
grandchild to invite people.)
Bob responds by saying that Jane has successfully invited Mike to the CBS
group she is starting.
From that point
on Jane becomes the leader of the child CBS
group while attending the parent church.
While
facilitating her CBS group, Jane finds the
bible study segment frequently exceeding its allotted time and asks Bob for advice.
Bob responds by saying that Jane
should strive to finish the bible study segment within its allotted time and
that if necessary she can devote a small number of
extra sessions to the CBS light of the gospel Mark.
As Mike
participates in the weekly CDMCPM session and goes through the CBS light of the
gospel of Mark in Jane s group, the Holy
Spirit continues to work within him.
Upon completion
of the CBS of Repent, Believe the Good News and Be Baptized , Mike is asked if he is willing to repent, believe
the good news and be baptized.
Mike answers in the affirmative.
Mike is then baptized and becomes a committed disciple.

You have helped Bob
become a disciple maker of disciple makers of disciple makers (DM3) when an
uncommitted disciple Deb becomes committed and Mike s
CBS group becomes a church with Deb in it
by the end of this block.
========================
During
your subsequent weekly coaching session with Bob, you ask him the question that is on the checklist
of setting goals of fishing for people if he is mobilizing overseers of
grandchild churches to help people in their churches get ready
so that these people can start their own CBS groups. (Four generations
are involved for mobilizing help for great grandchildren to start a new CBS
group.)
Bob responds by saying that he is mobilizing
overseers of grandchild churches to help people in their churches but none of
these people has set any goal of fishing for people yet. With persistent mobilization from you, Bob redoubles his effort to mobilize overseers
of grandchild churches to help people in their churches set goals of fishing

Bob responds by saying that he mobilized Jane to mobilize Mike to successfully invite Deb to the CBS group Mike is starting.
From that point
on Mike becomes the leader of the child CBS
group while attending the parent church.
While
facilitating his CBS group, Mike wonders if the
CBS of other gospel accounts can be used for the same purpose as the CBS light
of the gospel of Mark and asks Jane about it.
Jane responds by saying that they can be but unfortunately
the CBS of other gospel accounts do not exist yet.
As Deb participates
in the weekly CDMCPM session and goes through the CBS light of the gospel of
Mark in Mike s group, the Holy Spirit
continues to work within her.
