3 Building Blocks of DMM

Celebration & Training

The three basic building blocks that support and expand the disciple making movement are prayer meetings, simple churches, and regional celebration & training.  ​

Prayer Meetings

A committed gathering of disciple makers to intercede for those they lead, pray for the lost and the harvest field.
Prayers are crucial in starting and sustaining a disciple making movement. 

Simple Churches

A simple gathering of two or more disciples anywhere, anytime, to love, obey and share about Jesus.

How To Run a Simple Church Meeting?
Simple churches are the most organic and vibrant component of Disciple Making Movements.   They are the gathering of two or more disciples growing together in loving obedience to the Great Commandment (Matt. 22:37-40) and the Great Commission (Matt. 28:18-20) with the presence and authority of the Lord Jesus (Matt. 18:18-20) and the power of the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:8).

A simple church gives unlimited opportunities to every participant and disciple to
  1. Worship the Lord,
  2. Evangelize,
  3. Grow,
  4. Serve Others,
  5. Exercise Spiritual Gifts,
  6. Develop Leadership,
  7. Multiply Disciples & Churches.

Since a simple church can take place anywhere at anytime, it empowers disciples to engage in evangelism, disciple making, and gathering seekers and new disciples without the unnecessary constraints of a church building, a specific time frame, or a formal program.

Discipleship Groups

A committed gathering of 2 to 5 disciple-makers for mutual discipleship, encouragement, accountability, and prayer.  

Accountability questions
Discipleship Groups are the most heart-to-heart gathering of a Disciple Making Movement.  They are the gathering of 2 to 5 disciples of the same sex who commit themselves voluntarily to pursue personal purity, faithfulness to the Great Commission, and spiritual growth in a completely transparent and accountable environment.  

A Discipleship Group gives many opportunities for mutual discipleship, encouragement, and accountability in the three essential areas of
  1. Character Development,  
  2. Evangelism & Church Planting, 
  3. Spiritual Growth.

Discipleship Groups provide a safe, honest, and open environment in a simple and reproducible format for disciple-makers to grow together in their walk with the Lord, their ability to overcome temptations, their mission to make disciples, their character, marriage, and family relationships.   Discipleship groups are designed to remain small, highly relational and transparent for the purpose of developing long-term, committed, and mutually accountable relationships among spiritual companions.  

Celebration & Training

A large gathering of disciples within a DMM network for celebration, vision sharing, and training.  

locations
Regional Celebration & Training Events are the largest, most energy-packed, and inspiring gathering of a DMM network.  They are the gathering of disciples, disciple makers, and trainers within a regional network to celebrate, share, and learn together on a regular basis as a big spiritual family.  

A Regional Celebration & Training Event has the three main purposes of
  1. Celebration: honoring Jesus and sharing testimonies
  2. Vision Sharing: sharing visions and directions given by the Holy Spirit 
  3. Training: teaching and equipping participants to be fruitful and faithful disciples and disciple makers.  

The general rundown of a Regional Celebration & Training Event looks like this: 

Celebration (45-60 mins)
  • Praise & Worship
  • Thanksgiving prayers
  • Communion
  • Testimonies of transformation, breakthroughs, and answered prayers
​
​Vision Sharing (15-30 mins)
  • Apostolic and missional vision and direction
  • Collaborative projects and outreach strategies 
  • Cross-cultural and international missions

Training (30-45 mins)
  • Practical teachings on discipleship, spiritual growth, missions, etc. 
  • ​Training on ministry tools and strategies
