The organization works to empower local churches to transform communities through intentional disciple-making, leadership development, and involvement in local and foreign missions.
Tithing and offerings are two interesting subjects, which many people have different meanings and applications. While tithing and offering are certainly biblical concepts, some people teaches that tithe is a command and offering is a sacrificial ‘will’ of a Christian; some also teaches that these are not so. What does the Bible teaches regarding tithing and offerings under the New Covenant?
In order to understand how tithing fits (or doesn't fit) into the life of a Christian or a religious person, we must first examine tithing as it was originally commanded, its meaning, and its purpose. Offerings which sometimes interchangeably defined to be tithes; one needs to understand the meaning of sacrifice, free will, giving, and sharing.
This book explains in detail: the doctrines, the command, the culture, the principles, and giving of tithes and offerings. It also outlines the most frequently asked questions on tithing, offerings, and giving.

Making disciples who make disciples is at the heart of the call to follow Christ. Here are some notes on the gap between our intentions and practice (adapted from Greg Ogden's book, Transforming Discipleship).
There are various ways that God look at our services before given approval of acceptability. Beloved, is your service acceptable to God? The Word of God says in Hebrews 12:28 that, “since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and SERVE God ACCEPTABLY with reverence and awe (in a way that is pleasing to God).”
Are you serving God in a holy way? Are you sure your service is acceptable unto God? Have you asked God if the service that you are rendering is acceptable? Did you know that the whole purpose of our existence is to serve and worship God acceptably? Are you aware that, God wanted the people of Israel to be released by Pharaoh so that they can serve Him? Exodus 8:1 says that: “And the Lord spake unto Moses, Go unto Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord, let my people go, that they may SERVE me.” Service is very important to God and even earthly kings as we could see in Babylon when Nebuchadnezzar was looking for wise men to serve him.
Will you permit Holy Spirit to probe your inner self and answer these questions: “Where are you serving?” Why are you serving? How are you labouring? Whom are you serving?
Are you serving with the Father or without the Father?
Are you serving at your given place of assignment or at a place of your own choosing?
Are you seeking independence from your earthly delegated leader?
What is the condition of your heart as you’re serving?
Are you indeed committed to the pursuit of God or .…. own agenda?
Have you considered the opportunity of being close to the one the Father has placed you under for service? What of the opportunity cost of being estranged from the Father?

1. What Does It Mean to be a Disciple of Jesus? KeynoteWilliam Anderson
This is the first of four sessions of our "Being and Making Disciples" workshop held in Sacele, Romania on September 1, 2012. In this session we answer the question "What Does It Means to be a Disciple of Jesus?". We did this by first looking at what the word "disciple" means and then looking at what Jesus, Peter and Paul had to say about being a disciple and then we finished by looking at Jesus' life to learn from His example. English with Romanian translation.
A short introduction to key ideas from Sherry Weddell's "Forming Intentional Disciples" in the context of discipleship in the Catholic faith. More resources available at: http://practicalevangelization.wordpress.com/tag/resources-for-intentional-discipleship/
In this second of four sessions of our “Being and Making Disciples” workshop held in Sacele on September 1,2012 we answered the question “How Did I Begin to Disciple Someone?. We started by looking at things we should take into consideration even before we start discipling someone like how we should model Jesus, the importance of focusing on relationships and the goal of what we do in discipleship. We then went on to look at five key things we should do to help those we are discipling to get off to a good start.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

28. II. Obedience-based DISCIPLE-MAKING
Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in
heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore
go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in
the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy
Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have
commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to
the very end of the age.” (Matthew 28:18-20)
29. THE GREAT COMMISSION
(MATTHEW 28:18-20)
Great Commission’s Main Command:
“MAKE DISCIPLES”
What is the difference between a
DISCIPLE and a CONVERT?
31. THE GREAT COMMISSION
(MATTHEW 28:18-20)
Three Participles:
1. Go(ing). Seeking the people to be discipled.
This brings the great commission the emphasis
of making disciples through the everyday life
activities.
►Intentional SEEKING and REACHING OUT to
people of all kinds in order to disciple them
32. Three Participles:
2. Baptize(ing). Baptism brings to the Great
commission the issue of leading people become
followers of Christ and building them so that they
grow deep roots of understanding their identity with
Christ in every area of life.
► Coming into relationship with Christ implies “being under the
Lordship of”
► Being under the Lordship introduces the concept of Teacher-
Learner Relationship
THE GREAT COMMISSION
(MATTHEW 28:18-20)
33. Three Participles:
3. Teach(ing) TO OBEY. Empowering
people with skills so they become fully
trained and obedient disciples.
►Note the phrase “TEACH THEM TO
OBEY”
THE GREAT COMMISSION
(MATTHEW 28:18-20)
35. 3. Teach(ing) TO OBEY. Empowering
people with skills so they become fully
trained and obedient disciples.
► OBEDIENCE-FOCUSED
► Our mandate is to make obedient
disciples
THE GREAT COMMISSION
(MATTHEW 28:18-20)
36. DISCIPLE-MAKING
DISCIPLE-making refers to healthy biblical
relationships in which a maturing Christian
spends quality time with younger believers
(not referring to age) equipping them to
Walk in obedience to Christ;
Develop Godly character;
Gain proficiency in ministry skills,
…in order to reproduce disciple-makers.
37. DIFFERENT ASPECTS TO THE FRAMEWORK
First, its focus on HEALTHY BIBLICAL
RELATIONSHIPS as the FOUNDATION of making
disciples.
o Making disciples is not just about completing a LESSON in a given
week.
o Making Disciples is not just also about having FELLOWSHIPS.
o Making Disciples is about CHRIST-CENTERED FRIENDSHIP that
serves as the venue by which believers are nurtured, mentored, and
monitored.
38. DIFFERENT ASPECTS TO THE FRAMEWORK
Second, a VISION FOR
MULTIPLICATION.
Making Disciples is not just about growing but also
multiplying.
The End-goal is not to GROW but to MULTIPLY.
39. Understanding the difference between
DISCIPLE-making & Discipleship
Discipleship generally refers to Christian Education (Billie
Hanks)
Disciples-Making refers to the
process of spiritual multiplication
through one-to-one, life-to-life
equipping relationships Like Paul
experienced with Timothy, Titus, and
Other growing believers (Billie Hanks)
40. DIFFERENT ASPECTS TO THE FRAMEWORK
Third, balance emphasis on
both BEING (IDENTITY)
and DOING (ACTIVITY)

PERSPECTIVE TOWARDS GOD’S
PURPOSE FOR THE CHURCH
(Adapted from CCF Material)
44. “PASTORS AND MEMBERS MINISTRY
PARTNERSHIP”
Usual Practice
Paid pastors do all the ministry.
Lay people attend service and provide money.
The pastor’s main job is to preach and do visitation.
45. “PASTORS AND MEMBERS MINISTRY
PARTNERSHIP”
Biblical Practice
We are all to serve.
We are all recipient of the Great Commission.
The pastor’s main job is to equip God’s people: Eph. 4:11-16
Classical sacred-secular divide. Slide is a simplified snapshot of what the typical week of a Type A might look like. Type A attends church faithfully, does some spiritual disciplines, and may even be involved in some ministry enough to keep many pastors happy. Often a generous supporter of the church and missions. But workplace, business objectives and business practices are not impacted by the Gospel. The impact of his business on his employees, customers, society, and the environment is no different than that of a secular company. In order to maximize profit, Type A may take shortcuts, engage in questionable business deals, cheat on taxes, etc. The Type A Christian is “conformed” to the pattern of the world (Rom 12:2).
“Deceptive” sacred-secular divide. Type B is very active in church and ministry – many a pastor’s model church member. He may even begin to multiply spiritually, but only in the context of the church and Christian circles. The 8-5 window -- his workplace, business, professional practice -- is not impacted by the Gospel. The Type B Christian tries to live the Christian life but ambition and greed force him to compromise Biblical values.
No sacred-secular divide. All is sacred. Type C is active in church and missions and supports both generously. But his 8-5 window is consecrated to God. This is not just about leading Bible study in the office – which is very good and should be encouraged. It is about letting God’s agenda permeate ALL business decisions, practices, policies, strategy so that employees, customers, suppliers, society, and the environment are impacted by the Gospel. The Type C Christian is “transformed by the renewing of his mind” (Rom 12:2).
