The Christian Faith is about people putting their Faith in Jesus Christ as their Saviour and to follow Him as His first Disciples did. The Christian Faith is about being born again. It is about confession and receiving forgiveness for your sins. It is about becoming a child of God. It is about becoming part of the family of God as His son and daughter. It is about becoming a citizen of the Kingdom of God. It is about being restored, finding your purpose in life, and ultimately finding and fulfilling God's purpose for your life.This course is a field-tested Discipleship Course, tested and developed over a 30 year period and now used in churches in over 70 nations. This Discipleship Course is designed to help people give their lives to the Lord, or, for those who made a decision for Christ but never put down roots for their faith grow, to affirm their faith in Jesus and finally to put down roots and grow to maturity in Christ. Whichever one you might be, I pray that the Lord would use this material to guide you to an enriching experience with living in fellowship and on purpose for God. This course is built on the Bible and therefor you will find a lot of Scriptures in it.This journey is made up of a few phases. It is called a Discipleship journey from which you will benefit most if you follow them through systematically from Step One to Step Five. This course will take you at least One Year to complete, however, as with living trees, it takes a lifetime to grow into a mighty tree. By daily drawing sap through our spiritual roots, being firmly grounded in the Word, prayer and in Fellowship, we will grow slowly and steadily.DISCIPLESHIP ONE - SALVATIONThe first phase of discipleship deals with the germination of our seed of faith. This phase deals with the essentials, or elementary applications of putting our faith in Jesus Christ as Lord. DISCIPLESHIP TWO - ESTABLISHING ROOTS, VALUES AND DISCIPLINESThe second phase deals with establishing roots from which our faith will grow and mature. Instilling the Values of the Kingdom of God develops our spiritual roots. We develop spiritual disciplines to keep and maintain these values in our lives.DISCIPLESHIP THREE - DEVELOPING GIFTS AND SKILLSThe third phase of Discipleship deals with discovering and developing our spiritual gifts. It is the time when we develop ministry skills to fulfil our calling in service of the Lord and we continue to grow strong and healthy roots to ensure that we, both bring forth healthy fruit, as well as, withstand the evil temptation of the enemy.DISCIPLESHIP FOUR - FRUITFULNESSThe fourth phase of Discipleship deals with us bearing Fruit through consistently putting into practice what we've learnt, by living a life of love, that is worth following, and shepherding those entrusted to our care.DISCIPLESHIP FIVE - MULTIPLICATIONThe fifth phase of Discipleship deals with our Disciples multiplying themselves through their Disciples, by helping and guiding them to consistently put into practice what they've learnt, and to help their Disciples to do the same. We model it to them by living a life of love, that remains worth following, and shepherding them into their purpose.I trust that this will be the beginning of living a fulfilled life in the footsteps of Jesus.In His Service and for His Glory!

Step One - Salvation is part of the Discipleship Foundation Series, which consists of Five Steps. This Course explores the "How to" to be Born Again, and to establish a solid Foundation for your faith in Jesus Christ. It is based on Hebrews chapter 6 verses 1 and 2, and explores: Repentance of dead works, Faith in God, Baptisms, Laying on of hands, Resurrection of the dead, and Eternal Judgement. Free Video Teaching material is available at www.discipleshipcourses.com

This course is designed to help you to develop Kingdom Values and spiritual disciplines. Spiritual disciplines become the spiritual roots we draw our spiritual food and water from. Values are the fruit we bare from being planted and grounded in the right spiritual disciplines. This course explores 8 of the many Spiritual Disciplines we read off in the Bible. We also explore 52 of the Values of the Kingdom of God. There are many more Values, but for the purpose of this study, we explored 52 for the 52 weeks of the year. I pray that you will simultaneously develop these spiritual disciplines as well as assimilate the Values of the Kingdom of God. This is not a "been there, done that" kind of manual, no, it is one to use for the rest of your life here on earth. It will help you to develop that godly character you desire.

This Discipleship Foundations Series is available in many languages and used by over 30'000 churches globally. I have seen many churches grow beyond 5'000 people through the use of this disciple-making material. This book is one part of the series.Step Three - Developing Gifts and Skills consists of material for five weekend encounters. The weekend encounters are:1. Spiritual Gifts Discovery Weekend Encounter.This weekend encounter will equip you to discover and develop your spiritual gifts.2. Survey of the Bible Weekend Encounter.This weekend encounter will give you an overview look at the Bible, it's Message and How to benefit most from engaging with it.3. Faith Sharing Weekend Encounter.This weekend will equip you to know the Gospel Message as well as How to share your faith with others.4. Overcoming Weekend Encounter.This weekend encounter will help you deal with areas of your life that might inhibit the growth and maturity of the potential God placed in you. We address areas like How to deal with fear, unforgiveness, doubt, and a few other areas as well as How to overcome these through faith, confession and obedience.5. Shepherd Leader Weekend Encounter.This weekend encounter will equip you to build deep and meaningful relationships. It will also equip you and give you the skills to grow and lead a small group of disciples.This should really be five books. Through the engagement of this material, many churches grew deep and strong. I pray that this will be your experience as well.
