NextStep Large Group Training Curriculum
What does the pastor or elder do who finds that several people have become NextSteppers in their church? Our church has been having this good problem for a number of years. The training curriculum simply outlines what we have done and provides plenty of resources to implement a follow-up program with much less effort! Basically, it shows how to lead a small (or perhaps not-so-small) group of NextSteppers through the year.

NextStep Follow-up Plan
This is a plan for following-up NextSteppers after a mission conference. This is a rather thorough plan because it encompasses numerous regions, diverse church backgrounds, and a few hundred NextSteppers. It can be simplified if one's situation is less complicated. Essentially, there are two parts. Following up on the NextStepper and helping them find a mentor. We hope that the church's pastor or elder might be able to help mentor them. We recognize that most pastors have not been trained to do this. It is for this reason we have supplied the training material above.
