EQUIP

Mentor members who make disciples

• More emphasis on the work of the Holy Spirit

• Develop an intentional discipleship path for the newly baptized and existing members

• Adopt Small Groups, one of the best methods for discipleship and soul winning

• Teach and live out 28 Fundamental Beliefs as gifts from God for a better life for humanity, not just a list that needs to be checked prior to baptism.

• Help our members to see the importance of prayer, praise, Bible study, and a lifestyle of witnessing

• Develop vocational witness competencies whereby our members share the gospel effectively within their workplace and spheres of influence (relational evangelism)

Objectives

What if…

…7% of our North American Division members would be equipped to become disciple makers (soul-winners).

…every church member, including children and youth would be equipped, mentored and given the opportunity to be engaged in some type of church ministry.

…church friends, who are not members, would be equipped, mentored, and given the opportunity to be engaged in some type of church ministry.

…every pastor and church would make an intentional and sustained effort to create awareness of the great need for a new generation of pastors and began to identify young men and women, who many have a gift for pastoral ministry and support them. 

…Elders would be given the opportunity to baptize those whom they have brought to Jesus and are willing to disciple, on Elder Baptism Sabbath on October 22, 2022.
