LOUISVILLE DISCIPLE-MAKING MOVEMENT (DMM) TRAINING SCHEDULE
For Conducting Trainings During the 3Thirds (3/3rds) Group Time
The 3Thirds Discipleship Training is a simple and effective method of multiplying disciples and churches that is modeled after the commands of Christ as we read in Matthew 28:18-20. It is a disciple-making movement that is easily reproducible. In the city of Louisville alone, we have 68 groups plus 37 groups that have been started in other countries by folks from Louisville that went overseas to start and train people on how to effectively use the discipleship tools to multiply God’s Kingdom. Combined, there are over 2 million groups around the world.
We are happy to MAWL (Model, Assist, Watch, Launch) the 3Thirds Discipleship Study and share these materials with you and your group.
Introduction: We recommend that you stage one training session every 4th week or so in your 3/3rds group. You can do this by opening with prayer; go straight to the “check-up”; quickly cast vision in a minute or so; then into the second third stage of the training. For the last 3rd, ask each participant to pray and ask God how they will implement the training in their lives and/or ministries.
