The State of the ChurchWhy Intentional Discipleship is Important

While most churches "believe" in making disciples, very few are effectively

making them.

Bob Gilliam

theProblem

President President T-Net InternationalT-Net International

theProblem

“In some places the church is growing strongly, but even there the problem is that of

growth without depth. In short, the church lacks

proper discipleship…

Our zeal to go wider has not been matched by a commitment

to go deeper.”

John StottFirst International First International

Consultation on Consultation on Discipleship, Eastbourne, Discipleship, Eastbourne,

England.England.

theProblem

“Christianity without discipleship

is always Christianity without

Christ.”

Dietrich Bonhoeffer““The Cost of Discipleship” The Cost of Discipleship”

(p. 67)(p. 67)

theProblem

“Enough of the church has accepted a non-discipleship

Christianity to render it ineffective at its primary task:

the transformation of individuals and communities

into the image of Christ.”Bill Hull

Founder T-Founder T-Net InternationalNet International

theProblem

“It is hard for non-Christians to understand Christianity

since few born again individuals model a biblical faith….

Believers are largely indistinguishable from

non-believers in how they think and live.”

George Barna““Growing True Disciples” (p. 63)Growing True Disciples” (p. 63)

theProblem

“Discipleship does not happen simply because a church exists. It occurs when there

is an intentional and strategic thrust to facilitate spiritual

maturity.”

George Barna““Growing True Disciples”Growing True Disciples”

(p. 47)(p. 47)

theProblem

“There is a tremendous need for a more intentional focus on the discipleship process and for

definition to the desired outcomes of such a process.

Given the proper motivation, it seems that most believers

would be willing to commit to a more demanding regimen

of spiritual development.”

George Barna““Growing True Disciples” (p. 47)Growing True Disciples” (p. 47)

ChurchWarehouse vs Factory

Warehouse Church Factory Church

Goal To collect and store material without negative changes, and to keep it in storage as long as possible.

To obtain raw material, process it into a more valuable product and get it out into the world as quickly as possible.

Purpose of Pastor

To collect material into the warehouse, store it in small rooms, and try to keep it there in good condition.

To act as a foreman to lead factory workers. To get as much raw material from outside the factory as possible. To change it and get it back out of the factory.

Needed Inside Many rooms and a small maintenance staff.

A process for material to go through, machinery (intentional programs) to transform the material. Trained workers to run the machinery.

Results Material inside doesn’t change. Material inside is effectively changed and becomes useful to the owner.

Institutionalized

1. No intentionality of product or process.2. People/ministry resources severely limited to staff/board

who try to do it all but fail.3. Not enough proximity and accountability to build

commitment.4. Values but not behaviors are developed in members.5. Models are compromised and impurities are legitimized and

replicated.6. Commitment polarizes based on individual discipline.7. World sees hypocrisy and is not attracted.8. Church leaders are frustrated and burned out.

WHAT ABOUT COSTS?

T-Net is a missions organization.

We presently have training centers in Haiti, Bolivia, Kazakhstan, Nigeria, Congo. DRC, Zambia, Chad, Zimbabwe, Swaziland, South Africa, India, Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Canada ..........

…..AND THE UNITED STATES!

icy Because we are a missions

organization, we have a faith-based policy in the United States – just like we are in the rest of the world.

Therefore, there are:

NO SET FEES FOR OUR MINISTRY !

WHAT ABOUT COSTS?

FINANCIAL POLICY

1. COVER OUR ACTUAL TRAVEL AND HOSPITALITY COSTS (individually or collectively as a group)

2. SUPPORT T-NET MONTHLY FROM THE MISSIONS BUDGET OF YOUR CHURCH.

We will provide your church with a copy of our budget, our needs and a suggested donation level, just like any missions organization.

You decide on the support level.

Put yourself in this picture!

The Challenge: Equip Pastors for Intentional Disciplemaking around the World.

• There are 2-3 Million pastors overseas with no formal preparation.

• Most internationals will never be able to attend Bible College or Seminary.

The Solution: Trained Leaders

How Does This Work?

Identify a region where pastors have little or no formal training

How Does This Work?

25 to 30 national pastors are gathered for a training center

How Does This Work?

A pastor or team from an Intentional Disciplemaking Church teaches the first training center. . .

How Does This Work?

Sharing out of their own experience, they coach each church leader to apply disciplemaking principles.

How Does This Work?

Pastors then go back to churches like this to begin applying Christlike methods and principles.

Fulfilling the Great Commission

It’s people . . . equipped to share their faith with friends and neighbors, seeing them receive Christ and bringing them to a church that knows how to produce mature disciples.
