This document provides tips for doubling the size of a class within a year through consistent teaching, invitations to fellowship, and prioritizing ministry. It emphasizes using stories, questions, and proverbs to engage students during lessons. Growing classes through reproduction requires saying goodbye to friends but keeping core relationships together. Sustained growth may require dividing large groups, though timing is important to maintain maturity. Doubling teachers are not inherently better but embrace growth and division with joy.

The document discusses the importance of discipleship through the church. It argues that churches should prioritize equipping all members for ministry, not just paid clergy. When each member is actively involved in evangelism according to their gifts, spiritual multiplication can occur. The church's programs should support the principle of making disciples by winning people to Christ, building them up, and sending them to win and build others. When members understand and support this guiding principle over individual programs, a movement of discipleship is developed to fulfill Christ's Great Commission.The Amazing Influence of SS for Discipleship & Growth (1).pptx

This document discusses the importance of evaluating witnessing and evangelism efforts. It argues that evaluation allows ministries to improve their strategies and have a greater impact. While outcomes can be measured, spiritual growth is more difficult to evaluate and is better understood as individuals progressing in their spiritual journey. The goal of the church is to win souls for God's kingdom, so evaluation assesses how strategies are furthering church growth. Evaluation should be done kindly, with affirmation, and focus on both outcomes and processes.August 5, 2009

1) Children can be saved - the Bible provides examples of children believing in God and it is possible for any child, regardless of age, to trust in Jesus Christ as their Savior.
2) Children need to be saved - all children are spiritually dead until trusting Christ, born with a sinful nature, outside of God's kingdom until born again, and under God's condemnation if old enough to reject Christ.
3) Children's understanding develops with age - younger children who cannot understand sin and salvation are not condemned but spiritually dead and sinners. Ucan4lead

In ministry, women have diverse roles focused on service, discipleship, and support, contributing to the church and community through various activities. While some denominations restrict women from certain leadership positions like pastor or elder, women actively participate in teaching, evangelism, prayer, worship, and service within the church. They also play a vital role in women's ministry, fostering spiritual growth, community, and outreach.
Here's a more detailed look:

Evangelism and Outreach:
Women can share their faith with others, invite people to church, and participate in outreach programs.
Spiritual Disciplines:
Women can lead in prayer, fasting, and Bible study, fostering a deeper relationship with God.
Support and Encouragement:
Women can provide emotional support to others, build up the church body, and encourage church leaders. What do you do when you face these giants in life? How do you face the giants in your life and work? Well, fortunately, we have a wonderful story in the
Specific Examples:
Women's Ministry:
Many churches have specific women's ministries that focus on creating a space for women to connect, learn, and grow together. These ministries often involve Bible studies, social events, and service projects.
Deaconesses:
Some churches have deaconesses who serve in various practical ways within the church, often focusing on ministry to women and families.
Influence on Church Leadership:
Women can have a powerful influence on church leaders, offering support, encouragement, and theological insights.
Biblical Examples:

Examples of Service:
Women can organize and lead Bible studies, mentor young women, participate in church leadership roles (depending on denomination), and reach out to the community through various service projects.
Key Considerations:
Denominational Differences:
Specific roles and opportunities for women in ministry can vary significantly depending on the denomination and its interpretation of biblical passages.
Gifts and Passions:
Women are encouraged to discover their unique gifts and passions and then use them to serve God and others.
Unity and Community:
Women's ministries can be powerful tools for building unity within the church, fostering positive relationships, and reaching out to the broader community.

In Acts 6:1-7 we see how the 12 apostles manage a crisis with great skill. The unity of the church was at risk as the Greek-speaking Christians complained that their widows were being neglected by the Aramaic speaking Christians in Jerusalem. In this text we will see the twelve preserve their priorities while skillfully raising up a team of spiritually qualified Holy-Spirit-filled Greek-speaking Jewish Christians to meet these needs. The unity of the church was preserved and the gospel keeps moving forward. In this text, although they are not called "deacons", these 7 men clearly become the template for this future ministry of service to the church. We also see that the spread of the gospel will include some of the hardest to reach people, the very Sadducean priests who were persecuting the apostles and denying the resurrection of Jesus!
