Local Missions Training - Singapore

Monthly: 9:30am – 1pm (1st Saturday of each month – dates below)

September 2019 – February 2020

Do you have a desire to see people begin a journey with Jesus? Not sure where to start? Do you want to know how to engage and begin discipling people in the midst of their own communities?

Discover keys hidden in plain sight in the life of Jesus and His disciples that will equip you to join Him in the harvest in Singapore.

We will meet monthly for 6 sessions. Each session will feature group Bible discussions along with simple and practical tools. Between the monthly sessions, coaching, personal Bible discovery and prayer will keep you growing and sharpen your engagement with the harvest.

This training is a Singapore-based Disciple-Making Movements (DMM) training designed in and for Asian contexts. It is designed to help participants practically apply the Biblical framework and concepts learned in the Local Missions Workshop.

Taken together, this disciple training process will help you be a disciple and make disciples in a way that can lead to a movement as you wrestle with the Word and what God is doing in your context.

Reflections from past participants:

'I am grateful for the time we spent in group discussions, looking into scriptures and sharing insights on how Jesus engaged the communities and how the disciples present the Gospels in ways that are relevant to different people groups. Scott's guided questions are helpful and thought-provoking, we were able to learn from each other and be open about the mistakes we make in the process of disciple-making and community engagement.' - MS

'I like the combination of teaching, practicum during the month before the next session, individual coaching and debriefing and yes, the group sharing - not just about the Bible text but also experiences from the practicum. It was good seeing Scott and Sarah working as a team to lead the sessions. Scott also referred us to current books which added another dimension. I had lots of questions when the wheel hit the road, and Scott was always ready for further coaching, often via WhatsApp.' - YS

'The training was good. Particularly useful - digging through scriptures during class and as homework definitely helped give me a better understanding of the early church's disciple-making model. Listening to what the other participants were doing also gave me ideas how to have more intentional encounters with pre-believers.' - CSC
