Building Your 144 Training

Building Your 144 Training was held last October 6, 2014 at Holy Spirit Christian Church in Parañaque. Lead by Bishop Bien, many were encouraged and inspired to build their twelves and 144's all for the greater glory of the Kingdom of God. :D Sobrang na-bless ako and hindi ko pinagsisisihan na i-spent ang holiday na nasa presensya ng God. :D Yes it was holiday. And pinagdaanan ko rin ang common na pinagdadaanan nating lahat. Ang labanan ang katamaran. Praise God napagtagumpayan ko! :D Pero wala talagang regrets and sobrang na-bless ako na finally buuin ang aking Twelve and soon, 144. :D

HSCCI

First time kong nakapunta ng church nila. This is exclusive for primary leaders ng bawat network ni Bishop Bien. Kaya I am blessed na part ako ng primary leaders ng church namin at nakasali ako dito. :)

Praise and Worship

The awesome praise and worship. :D Ang una kong nasabi sa sarili ko upon entering the church is, "It's so homey." It's pleasantly comfortable and cozy, sabi nga ng google dictionary. Parang bahay, and one would really feel at home and welcome. :)

What I wanted to share here is yung topic na Completing your Twelve from Three to Twelve in Three Months.But before anything else, here are the true characters of a disciple. Ito ang dapat nating Makita sa ating mga disciples. In 2 Timothy 2:2-6, a disciple should be F.A.S.T.

F-Farmer. Like a farmer, our disciples should be hardworking. Masipag magtrabaho in giving glory to the Kingdom of God. Hindi niya pababayaan ang kanyang mga tanim, po-protektahan sa lahat ng peste, and magbubunyi pagdating ng anihan dahil alam niyang nagtanim siya ng maayos.

A-Athlete. An  athlete does not compete without undergoing training and practices. So we have to train our disciples on how to evangelize and follow-up.

S- Soldier. A soldier is brave and hindi siya matatakot sa kanyang susuungin. Patay kung patay. At he will please the commanding officer na nag-recruit sa kanya.

T- Teacher. Should know how to teach but should also be teachable.   

Here are the points to take into heart in completing our twelve. :)

1. Spiritual Preparation.

  

 This includes prayer and fasting hanggang ma-win and madala mo ang first 3 souls sa Encounter. These three souls ay iyong i-co-close cell. Here, mag-pa-plano kayo kung papaano mabubuo ang team ninyo which will compose twelve members. Dapat may calendar and organized ang bawat event or activity na gagawin. Leaders should also check the devotions of the cell members. Sa close cell i-ti-training ng leader and members into becoming leader themselves. Sa G12, hindi ang leader lamang ang gumagawa or nag-wi- win. Lahat kasali. Ang bawat isa sa iyong first three ay magdadala ng tig-tatlo. When that happens, mabubuo ang 12 disciples mo.

2. Goals and Vision Casting

In Genesis 12: 1-3, God told Abram of His promises to him:"The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you.

“I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you;

I will make your name great,

and you will be a blessing.

 I will bless those who bless you,

and whoever curses you I will curse;

and all peoples on earth

will be blessed through you.”

Likewise, we should cast these promises to our cell members. We should encourage them of the blessings that they could receive once na nagdisciple din sila. Lalago sila in every area of their life. And we cell leaders, know what blessings await those who obey the Lord in discipling people.  Dapat sabihin ito sa ating members. Dapat din sabihin sakanila ang Goal, Vision, at Purpose ng G12. Para alam nila kung saan sila papunta at maayos ang takbo ng cellgroup.

3.) Target People

 Ma-i-stretch ang creativity ng bawat cell leader at member dito. Think, create, plan, and conduct an event sa cellgroup. Yes, sa cellgroup at hindi sa church. Dito tayo mag-i-invite ng new contacts. Dapat ang ating event ay capable na magpabalik sa ating mga invites into 2nd and 4th times. The suggestions in here was cooking (for mothers), practice ng basketball, volleyball, make-up, etc. Let your imaginations run wild.:) Dapat one month before nag-iinvite na at hindi the day before. So, list names on a board and pray for them. Give goals to your first three. Kunwari, assign them na mag-i-invite sila ng tig-tatlo sila. And monitor talaga na madadala ang bawat naka-assign sa kanila. Again, sa G12 hindi lamang ang cell leader ang nag-iinvite.

4.) Training 

 Train your closed cell group on how to share their personal testimony having the pattern na sino sila noong hindi pa nila nakikilala ang Panginoon, and kung sino na sila noong naligtas na sila. Train them also how to invite people, how to evangelize and how to follow-up.

5.) Connecting and Developing Fellowship with Prayer of Three Target

Dapat lumalim ang relationship natin sa mga bagong souls na idinadaan natin sa Prayer of Three. As the cell leader, also share your personal testimony and pray for them.

6.) Invitation

This will be the invitation for the Harvest Event. We have to make sure this is given early para may ample time. Share and highlight what's in the event. Talagang i-si-sale's talk natin na magiging masaya ang Harvest event. Also, the cellgroup should prepare for it. And hindi dapat mawawala ang pagkain. :)

7.) Harvest Event 

Dapat maganda ang plano dito dahil anihan na! :D The venue should be comfortable, well-assigned ang personnel, at organize and well-planned lahat. Importante din na dapat may guestbook. Dahil doon mailalagay ng ating mga invites ang kanilang name, address, contacts, and dedication or feedback if nagustuhan nila or hindi. If hindi man, mag thank you parin tayo for their attendance. Pero dwell on the positive. Basta back-up ng prayers ang lahat. Importante ang programme dito. May ice breaker para magkakilala ang bawat isa. Sharing personal testimonies are also included and after that, the sharing of the gospel and the prayer of repentance and acceptance among the new invites. After that, proceed with the activity proper. May gimik ulit sa harvest. Then the kainan after! :) End everything in prayer at kung maaari, have the invites take home something. So kailangan talagang mag-invest dito. 

8.) Consolidations

Proceed with the 24 hour call and 72 hour personal visit. Dapat samahan ng cell leader ang kanyang cell member na mag-consolidate. And after the consolidations, invite the new members  on the cellgroup.

9.) Create 2nd-4th Reasons to go back to Cell group

Every after cell groups, see to it the needs of the members are met. Check their feedbacks.

10.) Maintain what you have achieved.

Check if the goals are being met and check if there are things to delegate. Ingatan ang first three disciples and of course ingatan ang buong cell group all with prayers.

11.) Bring to Churh

The first three should be in process of the PEPSOL. Monitor their attendance upto the fourth time. 

12.) Repeat the process if the Goals are not met.

Prayers, fasting, and intimate moments with God are always included sa bawat step of the way. Always remember God is with us. And said in Matthew 28:18-20, He will always be with us until the end of the age. :) God bless!
