Toowoomba Disciple Making Accelerator

Be equipped to make disciples who make disciples

Discover how to share your faith, introduce others to Jesus and establish discipleship groups that grow, develop and multiply.

Jesus has called every believer to make disciples. Knowing where to begin and how to put this calling into practice can sometimes feel challenging.

How do you start a conversation about faith? How can you share the Gospel in a simple, natural way? How do you help someone take their next step in following Jesus? And how can you start a group that equips others to do the same?

This practical, interactive training will help you move from understanding the Great Commission to actively living it out. You will gain biblical foundations, practical tools and opportunities to practise sharing your faith and making disciples who make disciples.

What you will learn

1. Discover the vision and a pathway for making disciples

Explore Jesus' instructions to His followers and develop a deeper understanding of God's heart for those who have yet to know Him.

You will be introduced to the Four Fields approach to disciple-making, learn how to pray for people who don't yet follow Jesus and discover practical ways to recognise opportunities to share your faith in everyday life.

2. Share the Gospel simply and confidently

Explore the 411 tool, a practical framework that helps you understand why we share Jesus, who we can reach, what we can communicate and when we will take action.

Through hands-on activities, you will learn how to:

• Create an Oikos map to identify people within your existing relationships who you can connect with spiritually.

• Share your personal testimony in approximately 15 seconds.

• Explain the Gospel clearly using the 3 Circles tool.

• Start natural, meaningful conversations about spiritual matters.

• Set achievable goals to begin putting your faith into action.

3. Identify and connect with people who are open to Jesus

Discover how to recognise people who may be receptive to the Gospel and build genuine connections through conversation, listening and prayer.

You will also participate in a practical Person of Peace Search, stepping out in faith to look for people God may be preparing and opportunities to share His love.

4. Start discipleship groups that grow and multiply

Take part in a Discovery Bible Study and learn the 3 Thirds approach, a practical framework for helping people discover God's Word, respond to His teachings and grow together in faith.

The process has three parts:

• Look Back: Reflect on previous commitments, share experiences, celebrate obedience and encourage one another.

• Look Up: Explore Scripture together and discover what God is saying through His Word.

• Look Forward: Decide how to put what you have learned into practice and identify practical steps of obedience.

You will have the opportunity to experience this process and learn how to facilitate a simple discipleship group that helps people follow Jesus and equips them to disciple others.

What you will take away

By the end of the training, you will have:

• A clearer understanding of the Great Commission and your role in making disciples.

• A practical pathway for developing a disciple-making lifestyle.

• Simple tools to share your testimony and communicate the Gospel.

• Your own Oikos map identifying people within your sphere of influence.

• Practical experience using the 3 Circles.

• Greater confidence in recognising opportunities to share Jesus.

• Experience with the Discovery Bible Study process.

• A practical framework and action plan for starting a discipleship group.

Our aim is for everyone to leave with a clear next step and a date to begin their own discipleship group — or, even better, with a group already started!

Who should attend?

This training is for everyday believers who want to grow in their confidence and ability to share Jesus and help others follow Him.

Whether you are involved in a local church, part of a small group, leading a ministry or simply wanting to become more intentional about sharing your faith, this training will provide practical ways to live out Jesus' command to make disciples.

You don't need to be a pastor, ministry leader or experienced disciple-maker. All you need is a willingness to learn, a heart to follow Jesus and a desire to see others come to know Him.

What's included?

Your participation includes:

• An evening and a full day of practical, interactive training.

• Biblical teaching and foundational principles.

• Hands-on learning activities and Gospel-sharing practice.

• Practical tools and resources for making disciples.

• Coaching, encouragement and opportunities to learn alongside others.

• Lunch provided on Saturday.

The mission belongs to every believer

"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations..." — Matthew 28:19

The responsibility of making disciples isn't reserved for pastors, church leaders or those in full-time ministry. Jesus gave this mission to His followers.

Imagine the difference that could be made when ordinary believers become intentional about praying for others, building relationships, sharing the Gospel and helping people grow in their faith.

Small groups of committed disciples can have a lasting impact, reaching families, influencing communities and bringing transformation to entire cities.

You don't have to know everything to get started. You simply need to be willing to take the next step.

Join us for this practical training and discover how you can make disciples who go on to make disciples!
