3 x E Basic Discipleship Booklet
Paul J Bucknell and Hugo Cheng
Start them right!
The church is filled with Christians who don't want to get involved. How do you develop Christians eager to grow? You must train them with the right biblical perspective of Christian living. The 3 x E discipleship booklet can be the tool for doing this.
Whether it be a new Christian or with one that does not understand much about the Christian faith, the 3 x E discipleship course enables you to engage them in a series of conversations around basic Christian truths. Although you are steered by the booklet's discipleship lessons, you the mentor share illustrations on how you have learned or are learning to apply different special truths to your life.
The new Christian is really eager to learn. If we train them right, they will grow right. Try using the 3 x E discipleship material. It's thoroughly biblical and church-oriented.
Seven basic discipleship sessions centered around Exaltation, Edification and Evangelism.
Why 3 X E?
There are not many Christian disicpleship materials available. Thankfully there are more than before. Most, however, have originated in the university context rather than the church.
They might have a lesson on 'going to church' but this is hardly the concept of the church that is necessary to make a strong Christian. We need to train God's people on how to counter the me-focused 'Christian living' that has grown so popular today.
Christians need to understand how the church is central to the decisions they make in life. The 3 x E discipleship booklet accomplishes this not only through presenting basic Christian concepts but the way these truths are to shape us in our minds and lifestyles.
The 3 x E discipleship program is kept flexible by not putting the scriptures and details in the student's booklet.
The teacher's booklet has suggested verses and possible discussion points, but the mentor should feel free to use the scriptures and Bible version that they sense are most appropriate to use.
The inexpensive printed teacher and student booklets, as well as downloads are available from the BFF store. A sample is provided below.
