Breaking Free:
Preventing Disaster 2012
A Discipleship/Spiritual Awakening Church Emphasis
In 2012, our association will be emphasizing Discipleship as a way to draw closer to Him for a revival and spiritual awakening in the hearts of our church families. The emphasis will be entitled "Breaking Free: Preventing Disaster." The challenge will be to the leaders of the church to commit to discipleship as Jesus taught His disciples the depths of true discipleship. From the title emphasis meaning, if we don’t do something to change the direction of the church, we are heading for disaster in the life of the church.

What will it take?
1. Church Leaders who are disciples.
2. The Church to see the true condition of the downward spiral and be willing to change.
3. The church must repent and return to God with a clean heart.
4. To discover Biblical ways to develop true disciples. (Example Back Page)
5. Commit to the task at hand. Even if it’s only a few.
The Challenge-
Who is willing to follow?
Luke 9:23 Then he said to them all: "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.
(Commitment to Small Group Discipleship)
1. Find a small (3-4) group who seems to be searching and wanting to grow deeper in an understanding and relationship with the Lord.
2. Ask for a commitment to complete the small group journey. (No maybe’s)
