Description

Why This Workbook? The title of this book, From Disciple to Disciple, describes its purpose and function. The knowledge and experiences of existing disciples will be imparted from the more mature disciple to the less experienced disciple - from disciple to disciple. A disciple is a follower of Jesus Christ. Disciples of Jesus are to be growing to become more like Him. Existing disciples are the instruments God has chosen to be making new disciples. More mature disciples are the instruments God has chosen to teach less mature disciples. The task of making disciples is the purpose of the church. In many ways the task of making disciples comprises the scope of, the Christian Church. Each and every follower of Jesus is to have making disciples as clearly in focus in every aspect of life. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth." Acts 1:8 This book is a tool to equip existing Christian disciples to easily and effectively communicate some basic truths foundational to every new follower of Jesus. What is in this book? The book contains 10 chapters/lessons with each chapter containing two sections. 1) The first section in each chapter, the bulk of material is a lesson plan/guide for the teacher. 2) The second section is fill-in-the-blank handout for the student. The topics have been selected assuming that the person being taught has expressed faith in Jesus for salvation but has little, if any, Bible knowledge. Each lesson addresses foundational Biblical truth essential to the vigorous growth every follower Jesus. Each lesson is also designed to provide encouragement for even the most mature believer as they share the cherished truths. Thus, upon completing each lesson both the teacher and the student will find themselves refreshed and stimulated in their faith. As a result, whether teaching or being taught each one should experience growth in their relationship with Jesus as they work through the lessons together. The teacher's lesson plan/guide identifies Bible texts upon which that lesson was based. It also lists the objectives the lesson is intended to accomplish in the life of the student. The lesson plan provides prompts for the teacher indicating when to ask the student a question or when to read a particular text of scripture. The student handout and the teacher's lesson plan correspond to each other. Underlined text in the teacher's guide indicates that there is a fill-in-the-blank in the student worksheet. This enables the teacher to easily prompt the student to complete the worksheet. How to Use This Book The lesson design is intended to be easy to follow and comfortable to use by someone who has no teaching experience. Yet it is a valuable tool for even the most seasoned of teachers. Designed to Equip From Disciple to Disciple is designed so that after a person has been taught all the lessons they will be able to use the book to begin teaching other. Ideally the teacher will present a copy of the workbook to the student and encourage them to teach someone else the lessons. It is a basic premise of discipleship that the one who teaches is the one who learns and grows the most. A disciple is always learning and should be always teaching others what they have learned.
