Announcement: Richard and Julia Wilke Institute for Discipleship online workshop

The first presentation of the Institute for Discipleship online workshop “Maximizing Disciple in Your Church: A Workshop for Disciple Facilitators by Bishop Richard Wilke, author of DISCIPLE, and Lisa Buffum, DISCIPLE facilitator” has just successfully completed. The workshop will be offered again April 9 – 27, 2007.

This workshop is intended for pastors and lay persons who already facilitate, or would like to facilitate, DISCIPLE Bible Study in their home church. With the use of a wonderful DVD featuring Dr. Wilke, we will explore the need, purpose, structure, and expectations of DISCIPLE. The DVD also includes ten ways to mess up DISCIPLE in a church and helpful hints. There will be a new assignment every three days to give the participants time to watch a short video and read a section of the book. Discussion will center on helping DISCIPLE Bible Study to flourish in your congregation.

This is not DISCIPLE training nor is it intended to replace DISCIPLE training. The intent of the workshop is to assist currently trained facilitators and potential facilitators in the growth and use of the DISCIPLE program within their church.
