Discipleship Training Material

We are offering access to exciting, new "Discipleship Training Material" (DTM) for free, no strings attached, for your benefit, the benefit of others, and to the glory of God. DTM offers the opportunity to benefit by it yourself, use it to help disciple others, and/or pass it on to others to use in helping others grow in Christ. You can even edit it to your own liking if you wish. It can be freely accessed by using the following URL. http://pastormerrill.wixsite.com/website/discipleship-training-ministry We don't have to memorize this, but can easily access it by putting it in our "Bookmarks" or "Favorites". DTM is a great tool that the Lord will use to minister to the person that just wants to go through it on their own. An even greater ministry will be when it is used one-on-one by one person discipling another. It can be printed out for use in group studies large or small, or even used all on-line together in the same room or spread out in different parts of the world. The DTM could even be copied on to a PowerPoint program and used in church sanctuaries, conferences, or with any other large audience. Those that would want to put it on YouTube (or on other video media or ways of communication) are free to do so as well.

Many in the world may have access to the Internet, yet haven't found a good way to be discipled there for free. People without a church, personal pastoral leadership, or any Christians to guide them can now benefit from this DTM. It can be used by husbands and wives, parents and children, as well as other people that want to grow in their relationship with one another while growing in the Lord together. Those that are lonely can use it to grow in their fellowship with the Lord. There are many various groups of people in our world that can benefit by growing to know the Lord through the use of this "help", as well as becoming better equipped to serve Him.

DTM is being given to you freely, as well as to many others around the world that want to help fulfill Christ's Great Commission in Mt 28:19, "Go ye therefore and teach all nations (make disciples)." Pastors (and their people) that want to see their churches grow in number and in spiritual growth, who want to see their people discipled and maturing in Christ, will want to take advantage of this free and effective resource. Those in hospital ministries, prison ministries, rehab centers, and a vast field of other areas where groups of people can be reached, can find ways to use this material in these places.

New Christians that want to grow in their faith, as well as longtime Christians that haven't grown as they would have liked and now want to take control of their growth will be able to do so by taking advantage of this opportunity. Christians that want to be of service to the Lord can now use this material to help others grow, or they can pass the URL on to others that may want to help others grow. With smart-phones and the occasions where we have time on our hands, there is easy access to this material to better use this time by reading over and over this material at these times.

Churches, their various ministries, Christian Education organizations, Missionaries, Bible study group leaders, “Sunday School” teachers, Christian parents, people on Christian and other social media websites can share this URL. Organizations and individuals with their own websites can set up a link to access the DMT URL. Whatever means of communication tools we have access to should be used to pass this free material on. Whether that be with snail-mail, e-mail, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and all the other options at our disposal. Even those who don't use these forms of communication can pass it on to those that do.

Use your search engines to locate appropriate people that you can share it with on line. For example: search for churches in Austin, Texas. Find their website and an e- mail address. Put that address in your "To" box on your e-mail, and then cut and paste this page your reading here in your "Message" box, and hit send. E-mail addresses abound on-line that you can send this URL to. This in itself is its own ministry. Proverbs 11:30 says "...and he that winneth souls is wise." A wise thing to do is pass this URL on to others, so that Christians will mature and work to win more souls and edify the body of Christ; as God has called us to do in Eph 4:12. It would take less time to send this URL on to someone else than it takes to read this message. It can be sent out to others not only once, but as many times as we need to, as we find new people to send it to. Just like in Mk 4:14 some will be like the sower who sent out the Word, some will plant it, others water it, and others harvest it. Can you join with Paul, Apollos, and the Lord (as recorded in 1Co 3:6 "I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.") and pass this on to others? Jesus said "Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men." What an easy way to be such a fisher, just in sending out this URL. You might think of the letters “U" "R" "L” as an acronym that stand for "Unlimited, Religious, Liberty”, or you could make up your own acronym to motivate yourself to be an active part in sharing this ministry. Surely the Lord will be giving people many other ways in which this link can be used for His glory.

Those that have received this message by e-mail can simply use "forward" to pass it on to others. Oh, how people and the world could greatly benefit if it was accessed, passed on, and used regularly. Christ has given us the command to take the gospel to the outer most parts of the world and make disciples. If we truly want to contribute more to His Great Commission, let us take advantage of this wonderful opportunity and send this tool to others. It is easy, costs no money, takes little time, and can be so rewarding now and in eternity.

May eternal blessing and rewards be yours!

Be blessed.
