Relational Map

          As you lead your group to pray and care about those who are not Christ followers, we share a tool with you this week called the relational map.  Watch the video to see how it is used.  Introducing it and guiding the group to use it can take about 8-10 minutes.  So plan accordingly.  You can view it below in JPEG or download it in PDF by clicking here.




          You may also view the session outline document below in JPEG format or download it in PDF format by clicking here.  (Notice when you download the PDF that it has two pages).

Highs and Lows (+ Lesson for 9-24-17)

If you cannot see the video above or if you would like to see it in HD click here

          In this week's video blog we demonstrate the "Highs and Lows" portion of the three-thirds lesson outline.  I have been introducing various concepts via this video blog.  Before we introduce any more new concepts, we will go back to what we have introduced already and demonstrate how to use each tool.  I hope this will help you to apply it well in your group.

          Please know that if you have questions or need further guidance in the use of these tools, you can contact me via email or Pastor Paulo.  You can also ask questions, make comments or share how things are going with your group in the blog.  Your questions, comments or testimonies may be of help to other leaders.

          Below you can view a JPEG or download a PDF version of the lesson outline for this week.  (Notice where the "Highs and Lows" portion is in the "Looking back, Member Care" portion).

UP, IN and Out (& lesson for 9-17-17)

If you are not able to view the video above or if you'd like to see it in HD, click here.


          As we continue in the Kairos series on the Gospel of Mark, this week I share with you a graphic that represents the three-dimensions of Jesus' life and ministry: UP, IN and OUT.

         As disciples and disciple-makers we want to reflect the life and ministry of Jesus.  So this UP, IN and OUT graphic can be helpful to evaluate our own discipleship journey and that of those disciples we are leading.  Whether you use this self-evaluation tool in this week's session, or with group members/leaders at a different time, or simply apply it to yourself, I trust it will be helpful.

          Below you can view or download the lesson outline for this Sunday.
