One of our greatest needs identified at the and of last year and also our main objective for the first term of 2015 was our Connect Groups. To make sure that our Connect Groups are healthy, that our Connect Group leaders are well equipped and that strong discipleship will take place laying Biblical foundations in peoples' lives that will bear lasting fruit. So we started the Establish Training, running for 5 consecutive Sundays.
The turn-up was really amazing, with about 40 people attending it weekly. One of the greatest encouragements for me was that people were starting to ask different questions. Instead of asking why we need to reach the lost and why we need to do discipleship, people started asking how?
God has been working in our hearts from middle last year and there is a great hunger in our congregation to see the lost reached and for solid discipleship to take place.
At the end of the Establish training we had 9 people signing up to start a Connect Group with lost people, meaning people who are not in church currently. So we will be walking closely with them, practically showing them how to reach out to lost people, how to grow a relationship and how to develop that relationship into a weekly discipleship meeting.
Please pray with us as we are really trusting God that everyone who attended the Establish Training will truly experience the grace of God over their lives as they step out and make disciples.
