Our mission of Training Reproducing Disciples <\/strong><\/span>is growing by God’s Grace.\u00a0 God provides individuals to become trainers; participants to be trained; and\u00a0 donors to “pay-it-forward” for funding for this non-profit ministry.<\/p>\n

In Acts 8:30-31<\/strong>, Philip asked the Ethiopian Eunuch if he understood what he was reading from the Book of Isaiah.\u00a0 He replied, “How can I unless someone guides me?”.\u00a0 \u00a0That is what a Biblical Mentor (Trainer) does – he or she helps guide those they train.\u00a0 Not just in Biblical understanding but how to train disciples to train others<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

Through our Biblical Mentoring training sessions, both the trainer and trainee learn, affirm and explain that:
\n1.\u00a0 God, the Creator<\/strong>, is our loving Father who can be trusted and that
\n2.\u00a0 Jesus, God’s Son,<\/strong> redeemed (forgave) us by paying for the penalty for our sins by dying on a Cross by God’s plan and that the
\n3.\u00a0 Spirit<\/strong> is our teacher so that the truths of the Word of God (the Scriptures found in the Bible) can be understood for the benefit of God’s Glory.<\/p>\n

BOARD & ADVISORS<\/strong>:\u00a0 We now have 3 Board Members and 6 Advisors.\u00a0 In total, there are now 21 participants being trained to train disciple-makers.<\/p>\n

We have resumed an emphasis on memorizing the key verse in each lesson.\u00a0 We use the English Standard Version (ESV) for these studies.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We consider every believer to be a disciple (student) and that every disciple is required to die to self and reproduce more disciple-making disciples.<\/p>\n

We are:\u00a0 FOR <\/strong>Disciple-Makers BY <\/strong>Disciple-Makers ABOUT <\/strong>Disciple-Makers!<\/p>\n

IMPORTANT:\u00a0 <\/strong>We “make disciples” <\/strong>as commissioned by Jesus in Matthew 28.\u00a0 However, we are focused more on “training the trainers” <\/strong>modeled after Paul’s instructions to Timothy:\u00a0 “You then my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.\u00a0 <\/em>And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses <\/em>entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others<\/strong>.”\u00a0 – 2 Timothy 2:1-2<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Discipleship has just two key essentials: \u00a0dying to self as Christ did and reproducing new life in Christ. Jesus gave us this example and He calls every believer in Him to follow His example. \u00a0Personally, we have to know Christ before we can make Him known.<\/p>\n

We offer mentoring to help one die to self but also training to help one reproduce. \u00a0Both are emphasized in each of our weekly sessions. \u00a0Discipleship that doesn\u2019t end with reproduction is not the Great Commission of Jesus.<\/p>\n

We invite you to join us to “go and make (train) disciples teaching them all that Jesus taught” which is Christ’s Commission found in Matthew 28:18-20<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

After several years, we have had approximately 70 participants with 25% of those still actively involved in training and a few who are now mentoring \/training others.<\/p>\n

Depending on the Spirit of Truth as each person’s primary teacher, a Biblical Mentor<\/strong> is one who helps a participating mentee (trainee) who is willingly engaged in weekly phone or video training calls by interpreting the Bible, which is the Word of God, i.e., the Word of Truth, by which we live and make mature wise decisions.<\/p>\n

We seek to train new participants consistently, for all of our life, with a life-to-life context in a one-to-one format, while training them to do the same. \u00a0This one-to-one format makes this relational discipleship training. \u00a0Today, it seems that discipleship is more about just spiritual growth without the training for multiplication. \u00a0Spiritual growth with training for reproduction (multiplication) is the goal of Biblical Mentoring<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Every person who chooses to respond to the \u201cCome, follow me\u201d call of Jesus is instantly a disciple (student) of the Word of God that was written by those inspired by the Holy Spirit who becomes our Counselor, Comforter, and Teacher as we fulfill our duties as an Ambassador of God.<\/p>\n

We speak His Truth(s) to reconcile others to God – the Father, \u00a0and Son Jesus (who is our Redeemer by His one-time sacrifice on the Cross) and the Holy Spirit.\u00a0 Proclaiming and living by God’s Truth is God\u2019s will for each of us regardless of our personal or professional roles in life.<\/p>\n

Biblical Mentoring \u00a0was established to teach and model the craft of becoming a life-long student of the Bible who mentors, trains and ultimately coaches disciple-making disciples globally.<\/p>\n

We teach The Word of Truth:
\n<\/strong><\/em>\u201cAll Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.” –\u00a0 2 Timothy 3:16-17<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Through Biblical Mentoring, <\/strong>we learn the value and path of developing biblical character by:
\nTeaching<\/strong> \u2013 learning life\u2019s path of Biblical character.
\nRebuking<\/strong> \u2013 learning what is not consistent with the path.
\nCorrecting<\/strong> \u2013 learning how to get back on the path.
\nTraining in Righteousness<\/strong> \u2013 learning to stay on the path & become a disciple-making disciple.<\/p>\n

Each person volunteers to help another person to reach a deeper faith in Christ and other higher goals. \u00a0There is a mutual benefit from our encouraging and equipping each other.<\/p>\n
