In this leader huddle recap, we are digging into:
Meeting Recap Notes…
- What does it mean to be "in the harvest?"
- Our call as disciple-makers from Jesus in Matthew 9 is to: 1) pray for workers 2) raise up workers and 3) be workers in the harvest ourselves!
- Moving from a “What can I do mindset to a, “What’s it going to take?” mindset when it comes to reaching students in our city.
- How multiplication is the only way to accomplish the task at hand.
- Practically, how are we trying to do that as a ministry as we invest in the FEW who will reach the MANY.
- We will be doing summer leadership training as we slow down our events & weekly programming, and focus on growing as leaders who multiply!
Enjoy this quick recap of our meeting - I hope & pray it inspires YOU to step into what God has called you to as an LSM leader!
In this episode we cover the HOW TO on Starting the disciple-making process through a tool called the 4-1-1: WHY, WHO, WHAT and WHEN of disciple-making.
This tool is designed to be simple and easily shareable with other believers who want to make disciples too - feel free to share this with students in your group that you are investing in!
Why: 2 Corinthians 5:17-21; Matthew 4:19
Who: Oikos Map, 2 Timothy 2:2 & the vision of Multiplication, Making a name list of 20 lost people in your life; Acts 1:8 - You are FILLED with the Holy Spirit to do HIS work!
