KINGDOM ENCOUNTER DISCIPLESHIP is a comprehensive and challenging in-depth series of 12 lessons that bring revelation to the way you think about yourself and understand the Kingdom of God. To secure your identity in who God created you to be and to experience the "Kingdom of God" in this lifetime; that you have a unique identity and purpose. This DISCIPLESHIP CURRICULUM is designed to make studying the Bible easy to understand for a new believer yet causes a mature believer to reflect on what they think they know. It teaches disciples how to make disciples.The KINGDOM ENCOUNTER DISCIPESHIP is especially effective when conducted in a small group format. We have found that having men and women meet separately for discussion provides a setting conducive to honest expression and transparency; to be clear, men and women discuss things differently. Although we found that couples like to prepare their lessons together prior to meeting with their discussion groups. Our goal has always been to build confident leaders and disciple-makers; to seek the gold in each individual follower of Jesus Christ.This is how we conducted the first KINGDOM ENCOUNTER DISCIPLESHIP: A Men's and Women's group of about 15 each met on the same day in two separate rooms in our church building. The individual members were divided into small groups of 3-4 people, and the groups stayed together for the entire 12 sessions. Within the groups, they rotated a group facilitator for each lesson, who did not teach the lesson, but guided the discussion. Each lesson took about 2 weeks to complete outside of class, and each person came prepared to discuss it during a 2-hour time frame. We met in a large room, separated into clusters of 3-4 people in their small groups. We did not allow groups larger than 4 because we discovered someone either hide out or is left out of discussions. Accountability for the progress of the group also works better in the 3-4 member clusters. We provided Certificates of Achievement at the end of the Series. While an individual can do the workbook, not discuss it with anyone and still find value, we find that "iron sharpens iron" and therefore encourage the small group format to maximize growth and understanding.The KINGDOM ENCOUNTER DISCIPLESHIP is a wonderful way for individuals to gather friends to do this Bible Study at the KITCHEN TABLE, in the FAMILY ROOM, at a COFFEE HOUSE, or in other great venues outside of a church setting. The KINGDOM OF GOD is everywhere and a KINGDOM ENCOUNTER is for every believer!
