Forming Formators for the Parish and Diocesan Setting
Making Disciples 101-201-301:If we focus on making disciples and equipping apostles first, the rest will follow. We won't have to worry about our institutional gaps. The disciples and apostles we form today will found and sustain our institutions and structures tomorrow, and the Holy Spirit will gift and inspire them to do things that we have never dreamed of. What we are called to do is to truly see and then make disciples of the anointed ones who are wandering in and out of our parishes right now. – Forming Intentional Disciples, pg. 96.
Making Disciples 101-201-301 is designed to meet the needs of diocesan and parish leaders, ordained and lay, for information and practical skills not readily available in most institutional settings.
Leaders are formed to return to their parishes and dioceses to:
1. train others to foster the awakening of personal faith in Christ and intentional discipleship, and;
2. lead others in an effort that advances a culture of evangelization and disciple-making.
In Making Disciples 101-201-301 you will learn:- How intentional discipleship differs from Catholic identity and is the source of the spiritual life and foundation of effective pastoral ministry.
- How discipleship makes catechesis a life-changing experience.
- How to introduce post-modern people to Jesus and the Church.
- How to recognize the pre-discipleship stages of spiritual growth
- How to facilitate spiritual growth in the baptized and non-baptized.
- Ways to share your own personal witness in gentle, intriguing, and non-threatening ways.
- How the charisms help spiritual seekers make the journey to intentional discipleship.
- How parish based evangelization processes and other existing parish programs can help create a parish culture of discipleship.
- How to integrate these evangelizing skills and concepts into the full spectrum of parish life and ministry.
