Intentional Discipleship Seminar

While most churches "believe" in making disciples, very few are effectively making them. Consider the following statistics:

• The average "evangelical" church in America wins 1.67 persons (less than 2) to Christ and their church each year for every 100 persons who attend that church.
• One-third of church members state their greatest individual needs are not being met by their church.
• Less than 50% of church members pray for 5 minutes at least twice a week.
• Only 11% of church members have shared the gospel even once in the last year and 33% have never shared the gospel with anyone.
• Most church leaders, when asked, cannot even define "Disciple", and hardly any have been trained to "Make disciples".

“Discipleship does not happen simply because a church exists. It occurs when there is an intentional and strategic thrust to facilitate spiritual maturity” (p 29).
“In a comprehensive study we conducted, we compared the beliefs, attitudes, values and behaviors of believers and non-believers…. We concluded that it is difficult for non-Christians to understand Christianity since few born again individuals model a biblical faith (p63).
“If we hope to make a significant difference in the lives of individuals and in the nation’s culture, then we must increase our intentionality, our intensity and improve our strategies” (p13).

“T-Net understands that the way to grow healthy, balanced churches is through a people-building process rather than church programs. Listen and learn from them.”
