The Road to Maturity- ReCES
The Road to Maturity- ReCES
We have simplified these steps on the Road to Maturity by teaching the process this way: Reach, Connect, Equip, Send (ReCES) A similar four-stage approach has been popularly used in some Latin American discipleship movements, and despite the many differences between our practical model and theirs, we found that simplicity in terminology is well-advised. We describe it this way: REACH We win the lost with tools like: Cell groups Personal Evangelism “Nets” (smaller events designed to attract non-Christians. Block parties, community outreaches, etc.) Special Services, Musicals, and Outreaches at the main campus Prayer and Evangelism (A planned program whereby small groups intercede over specifically targeted unsaved names for a designated time period, and thereafter they aggressively reach out to them.) CONNECT Become connected to a cell and a cell pastor Pre Encounter Class Encounter Retreat Post Encounter Class Baptism EQUIP The Church attendance Accountability to personal pastor Sharing their faith boldly SEND Cell multiplication-Starting a cell of your own Assisting another leader in a new cell plant Beginning new ministries and outreaches Missionary trips- Long and short term Church Planting
