  5. Kingdom Growth requires RAPID multiplication...

  6. Elephants versus Rabbits Elephants Wabbits Practically continuously fertile. Average of seven babies per pregnancy. 1 month gestation period. Sexual maturity: 4 months. 3 years: 2 -> 476 million (ideal potential) • Only fertile four times per year. • Only one baby per pregnancy. • 22 month gestation period. • Sexual maturity: 18 years. • 3 years: 2 -> 3

  7. Reproduction rate matters! Reproduction rate in months 60 36 24 18 12 9 6 4 years 1 3 5 10 15 20 30

  8. The Problem With Traditional Discipleship Linear Thinking. Reproduction can’t occur until after an arbitrary level of maturity is reached. It could take years or never happen! Conversion

  10. What’s Training for Trainers? • Training for Trainers (also called T4T) is a discipleship process based on 2 Timothy 2:2- • It is a strategy for training believers to share their faith, start Bible study groups or house churches through the telling of both personal stories and Bible stories, and to train others to do the same. Its focus is on evangelism, church planting and discipleship.

  11. What’s Training for Trainers? • T4T has three components: • An evangelism component in which you learn to • Listen to another person’s story • Tell them your story • Tell them God’s story. • A discipleship component in which you learn • A set of Bible stories that teach FMBC’s core competencies
