 Right. Good morning, everyone. Welcome to a new day. Let's get into our session and before that, let's pray. If anyone would like to pray, please go ahead. Dear Heavenly Father, I come to you under the name of Jesus. I thank you for the state. Thank you for this time of class. But I thank you for Pastor Paul who is teaching us. And God, I pray that you will help us to learn the truths today, help us to open our mind and heart and listen to it. And be fully convinced in the truth and to walk in the truth. Jesus, everything that we learn when we go out as your ministers, someone who builds your kingdom. Jesus, God, I pray that we will apply the practical things that we are learning and we could be a blessing to people. Jesus, fill us with your knowledge and wisdom, full of spirit, you guide us and give us a good wife and connection throughout the session. Give you all the glory and honor in Jesus' name. Amen. Amen. Amen. Okay. All right. So last class, we talked about a few things, right? We talked about the setting group, the upward, inward, outward and forward model. And we looked at also a few pointers on how to lead a good setting group. What are some of the aspects that are involved? And also, we looked at what did we do with our children? Children are going to be part of setting groups. Now, you know, we ended last session talking about how, you know, children can be part of the worship, praise and worship time. So that way they will watch and learn. And then they can probably be taken to another place, another room, and then there could be a coordinator who can talk about either the same topic or a different topic that is, that can relate to the children, make them pray for people, make it exciting, well, get children to, you know, be involved, get them to preach, get them to do the declaration, have them get started when they are small, right? So no longer a paper and kind of crayons. Teach them, teach them the word, right? Okay. So we'll get into chapter five. And chapter five talks about the set leader. Now, as set leaders, or you talk about leadership, you talk about even, you know, being a leader, there are responsibilities. There are things that we must do, things that we must learn, unlearn. So let's look at a few of them, right? First one, only committed members. Now, we're just going to bring all of it in line with ABC here. Only committed members of ABC can become set group members, leaders, right? Now, for example, you know, if I want to, you know, point a new life group leader, you know, we identify a certain area in our city, say, okay, we need a life group leader there. The first thing that I look for is, obviously, he or she's got to be a member of the church, right? Or they should have been in any church for at least a minimum of three years, right? At least a minimum of three years. And then what we also do is we encourage life group leaders to go through the foundations course. So we have a book called The Foundations, and this is basically, you know, simple topics like faith and praise and worship, holy spirit and the sacraments of the church. The basic, simple topics that we learn, right? So I encourage them to go through the entire book now. Whether they are 10 years in the Lord, whether they are 20 years in the Lord, it doesn't really matter, right? They may know, you know, they may have all the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit, wonderful. They may be prophets, wonderful. They may be leading worship for the past 20 years, wonderful. They have to do this foundation course, right? Why? Because it is something that is going to happen, right? So there's no, there's no, you know, okay, since you're 20 years in the Lord and you've been serving, preaching for 20 years, you don't have to do this, you know, they have to do this, right? They go through the entire foundation course. All cent group leaders go through the cent group, what we call the Life Group Leaders Training Manual. Now, we've got a training manual and a lot of these pointers are there in the training manual. So for example, you know, tomorrow, tomorrow I have a training with a new Life Group Leader and so I'm going to go over the entire training module, right? So with the module responsibilities, what you must do, what you must not do. And then I open it up for questions. If they have any questions, if they have anything additional thoughts they would like to share. So this takes about an hour or one and a half hours, right? So once we train them, we appoint them as leaders and then, you know, we continue to follow up, right? Until that Life Group or the Cent Groups comes to a certain level. You know, I try to, from the back, right? I just try to encourage them as they go on because it's very easy to get discouraged, right? If you start a Cent Group, you're excited and, you know, if two people come, sometimes they feel discouraged. So just being there, you know, at the background just trying to help them, encouraging them and helping them to, you know, just build a Life Group, okay? So let's look at this. Responsibilities of the Cent Group Leader. Let me present the notes so that they're all on the same page. Yes. You know, responsibilities of the Cent Group Leader. Everyone can see the projection, right? Okay. Now, once you're appointed as a Cent Group Leader, what are certain responsibilities that you and I have? Right? Number one, preparing for the Cent Group Meetings that is the word study of the discussions. When a leader is unprepared or when a speaker is unprepared, you can see it, right? He got to be prepared. So the Cent Group Leader must, so, you know, we make things convenient at ABC. We make things convenient. So all the Life Group Leader has to do is go to our website, go to ministries, go to sermon notes, download the sermon notes. Go down, right at the below, at the bottom of the page, and you'll find energy study material, right? And, okay, what I'll do is I'll just finish these points and I'll just show you one of our sermon notes so that you can see it, right? And there is a couple of questions. It's a Sunday sermon. So, now, those are only questions. So what must the Cent Group Leader do, he or she, must at least listen to the sermon two, three times, come up with a proper understanding of the sermon, right? And then be prepared now with the discussions. Be prepared with questions that may come up. For example, on faith, right? You know, we know most of the questions that may come up. We, you know, I've had faith for over 10 years I've been praying for healing, nothing's happening. What should I do? Basic common questions that come up. So be well prepared, right? And as a leader, when people watch, they will look, they will be able to see through it, right? So be well prepared for your sermon notes. Two, guide the discussions, right? Now, what does it mean to guide? You know, if you go into a tourist destination, you have a guide. Now, a guide isn't talking the whole time, right? He's just saying, okay, when you get to a certain place, he'll say, okay, this is what the place is. You know, this is what history says about this place or whatever's, you know, unique to that place. And then he keeps quiet, right? Now, guiding the discussion is basically you are making sure that the discussions are aligned with the theme or the topic of what is being discussed, right? And I've mentioned it before as well, right? We'll see. People get opportunities to speak. Sometimes people don't want to speak. Sometimes people get opportunities to speak, they speak. And sometimes people get opportunities to speak. It's hard to stop them because they keep speaking, right? So as a leader, you must understand that, okay, these are people who are, people are different. So I need to make sure that I guide the discussions in the right way, right? Thirdly, you are a leader and a mentor, right? Set a Godly example. Very important, right? Set a Godly example. Influence through your life, right? When you set a Godly example, people will watch and learn, right? One of the things that, you know, I don't do this much anymore, but I don't know doing this. I always do this. Keep telling myself, I'm a leader, I'm a leader, I'm a leader. Especially when I'm upset, I'm a leader. What happens? You're trying to tell yourself, hey, let me lead by example, right? So even in your setting groups, set the Godly example, right? What is something, let's take a few examples, right? How can you set, as a leader, what are some of the Godly examples that you can set? Anyone like to share? What are similar Godly examples that we can, you know, set as leaders? That when people watch it, they'll say, hey, wow, I need to learn this, or I should be this way. Anyone would like to share? Maybe one or two points. Maybe listening when the cell group members want to input some points, listening to them well and trying to understand. Plus, maybe there might be situations where you need to handle, you know, if the members could, you know, in their conversations knowingly or unknowingly, could offend you. So to handle it with grace. Yes. Thank you so much, Divya. Yeah, that's perfect. You know, it's easy to take appreciation, right? Oh, the faster you have shared so well, thank you for sharing the word, and thank you for, you know, ministering to me. And we feel good. What about if somebody comes and says, hey, you know, what do you spoke about? I didn't understand a word of what you said. One. And two, you were speaking totally in line with the, you know, the example that you gave was not right. What would we do as leaders? Right? How would we respond to those? Yeah, that's good. Anyone else would like to share thoughts? Okay. Some very common, practical things that I can think of. Number one, start on time. Yes or no? Imagine you say, okay, 7, 7 p.m. set a group, and you started 7-5. What happens? You started 7-5. The world is not going to end. That's for sure. But you're setting an example. You say 7 o'clock, 7 o'clock. And second example could be, these are just very practical things. You know, just being available to do the smallest of things in a 7-group. You may be the 7-group leader, but just, you know, maybe arranging the chairs or washing the cups after everyone's had tea influence through your life. Right? Set about the example. Let people know that, you know, this is what you are. You're not somebody on one day to Friday and on Saturday group day with somebody else. Disciple all the members in the Saturday group, right? Minister together. And here's the best part about discipleship, right? It is, we are people who have, you know, failures. We go through physicalities challenges. And as leaders, it mentors, right? Don't, it's okay to be vulnerable. It's okay to let them know that, hey, I'm also learning, right? But whatever I know, I'm willing to go through. Right? Never come to a place, especially in discipleship, never come to a place as having the, I know it all attitude. What happens is people will see through that again. Say, hey, this person is saying he knows it all. But that's not what it is. Let them know that, hey, even you are learning, you are growing in the Lord, you are growing in the things of God. And, you know, you're doing your best to disciple and to help and support others in the group. Right? Fourthly, pray for your seven members. Pray for them in your personal time. Pray for them, you know, usually after the seven group meeting, they go to come and say, hey, can you pray for me? These are the things that I'm going through. Pray for the burden. Don't just pray just because I have to pray. Have a burden in your heart. God, work in his life, work in her life. Minister to them. Let them see the things of God in their life. You pray with a fervor, pray with the word. Follow up with individuals during the week. Now, here's the additional thing as seven group leaders. Now, you may have a Monday to Friday job, right? And it could be an active job. Monday to Friday, you're working, but Saturdays is your seven groups, right? So as a leader, what you must do is during the week, emails, you can phone right now. We have WhatsApp, right? Just send them a message or if you can visit, do visit them, right? So for example, you have a self-group member and all of a sudden on Wednesday, you get a call saying that, you know, he's down with, you know, vital fever. Just an example, right? The person is down with vital fever. Now, you can call on the phone and pray for healing, right? I don't say, we don't have to say, you know, I know most of us are not going to do this, but we can't say, okay, today's Wednesday, you come on Saturday, I will call you and pray for you. Now, you know, one of the responsibility of a self-group leader is to take that additional effort, right? Especially if it's first time people who are new, they come to like, you know, just try and visit them or try and get in touch with them, right? Next one is lead self-members in ministry and outreach. As I said, as light groups, as some groups we can go out, evangelize, reach out in places. And even as you do that, lead them, right? Now, many a times it could be the first time somebody is holding a mic and talking in public or it could be the first time somebody is, you know, going out on an outreach, right? Or it could be the first time somebody is just going to a children's home, right? And he or she may be wearing, doesn't know what to do. So lead the self-group members, lead them in ministry, teach them, give them opportunities. So you say, hey, after we go for this outreach, can you pray for maybe two or three children? What are you doing? You're giving them an opportunity for ministry, right? Or you can say, hey, can we sing three songs? So three of them from the self-group, you three sing the songs. So you're leading them in a self-group, right? You're leading them to minister to outreach. In that way, you're also encouraging the self-members to evangelize, right now. As I said, it's sometimes the first step that matters, right? It could be that somebody in your self-group is very, very shy and not willing to go out on outreach to evangelize. But with a little bit of encouragement and opportunity given, he or she, this person can really step out and begin to know that, hey, evangelizing is not as what I thought it is. Now, I thought it's going to be scary and I thought that I want to say, but I was able to speak. So what are you doing? You're not only encouraging the self-member, but you're also enabling them to step into their gifts and skills and calling that God has for that, right? Encouraging them, developing them, right? As I mentioned, I think the first time, the first time I prayed in public was in a self-group. The first step, I didn't mind attending, but I never used to pray. And I remember, initially, after praying, I thought to myself, what did I even pray? But then, as I kept doing it, I understood that, hey, nobody is judging me for what I prayed or nobody is pointing fingers. And I just prayed whatever I feel like praying. Everyone sat in me and everyone were happy. So I realized that, hey, I need to step out and I remember also it was in the self-group that once I was praying and I got this word of knowledge and I kept it to myself. I never wanted to share it in the self-group. And a couple of self-groups later, I think it was a couple of months later, I got the word again. And I just said, hey, this is what I feel. And I remember that day, this person said, yes, that's about me. This person was really ministered to. And I thought to myself, you know, the place, the self-group setting was a comfortable setting. It's a place where you're able to release your gifts, release the gifts of the spirit, right? It's a very safe environment, I would say. So encourage yourself group members to flow in all of this. Use our responsibility as leaders, right? Never feel that, okay, only, I know that most of us don't, but never feel that as leaders, only I must be able to prophesy over the knowledge and flow on the gifts. No, right? Eventually, what is the bigger vision? All 12 of them must become leaders. So you begin to equip from day one. Develop, sell members into leaders. Get them to start their own cells. Now, developing them into leaders may take time, right? It may not happen immediately. It may take time. It may take a year, two years, five years. It's all right. Eventually, we want to see them also start their own cell groups. And that's the model we are following right now at church, right? So we have cell groups that are 10 years old. And we asked the cell group, okay, a 0.2 cell group leaders within that cell group. Now, they may be just five minutes away, right? Like geographically, they're just five or 10 minutes away. It's all right. It doesn't matter, right? What matters is they are able to lead their own life. You can't put an eagle in a cage. That's not where it's meant to be. And so develop them into leaders. Get them to start their own cell groups as well. Minister to the needs of the cell members, right? Okay, before I go ahead, when I say get them to start their cell groups, that would involve a little bit of work from our end also, right? Maybe encouraging them to, you know, get started in a way that, okay, choose what day of the week you want to do it. What kind of a cell group you want to have. You want to have only men, only women, family group, what kind of a cell group, right? And what is, you know, help them with the agenda. Now, since they've already been part of your cell group, they may want to do it a little bit differently. So give them the freedom, right? But you just be in the background to help them be available in case they need any help, right? And then you release them. Ministering to cell members, that is council and support. Now, this is going to happen, right? No matter what, as a cell group leader, people will come and ask for council, people will come and ask for prayer support. They say, hey, can you pray for me? These are the challenges I'm going through. Family needs, you know, and as leaders, people will come because they look up to you as a leader, right? So be there for them. Minister to them. Pray for them. Now, remember, you and I cannot take the place of God. So somebody comes and says, please pray for me that I'll be healed of this physical illness. Pray for them in faith, you know, minister to them. Tell them, okay, I'm going to pray in faith then. You also join with me in faith. And you pray for healing, right? So be available. Now, there will be times, for example, you know, I remember this one time, one of us, one cell group member called and said, told, you know, young guy, young boy, he said, I'm feeling suicidal. So I began to talk to him. And after a more, after maybe a couple of months, as I keep, as I kept talking to him, you know, it was very hard for him to overcome those emotions, right? And so he kept saying, you know, even after two or three months, we're still feeling that then I realized that he needs professional counseling. I'm not a professional counselor. I can counsel a few things from God's word, pray for them, help them, give them certain ideas. But here it needed professional counseling. So immediately we connected him to Christmas counseling, which are a team of, you know, professional counselors. And so there will be times when you will have to do that, right? But otherwise, you know, pray for my job, pray for, you know, my marriage, pray that God blesses me with children, all of these things, pray for them, right? Be there to support them, be there to encourage them, right? Especially when, you know, when there is bereavement or there's a loss in the family. The first place that they would normally go to is the life group leader, the cerebral leader, because that is their first point of contact. And so be there for them. You know, I love what the apostle Paul says, to the weak, to the rich, I was rich, meaning you be there for them, understand them, empathize with them, pray for them. It's going to be a season, you know, when somebody loses their loved one for the next at least six months, you know, they need that additional care and support. You've got to be there for them, right? Just supporting them. Then impart the vision of the church to the cell group members, right? Again, we talked about this, right? Even as you're doing what you're doing in the cell group, always put the vision of the church in full sight, right? So you say, hey, you know what, one of the things you can do is you know, say for example, you go one week, you go out on outreach, you come back and say, you know what, you were able to be solved in life. What are you doing? It is imparting the vision of the church. You were able to reach out, this is what we did. We have somehow we are fulfilling the vision of the church and so you are imparting it into them, right? Be accountable to your cell pastor and to your church. For example, some of the things that we are going to start in the year 2024 is right now we have 40 life groups and we're looking to add to at least 15 life, new life groups this year. And so one of the things we're going to do is we're going to bring in the hierarchy. And so all this while I was coordinating the life groups, I'll continue to coordinate it. But practically, if we have 50 or 55 life groups, I may not be able to minister to all 55 life group leaders and many of them are husband and wife. And so what we're going to do is we're going to bring in area coordinators or zonal leaders. So each zone will have five area coordinators. And so five area LG leaders. And so they will report to the zonal leaders. The zonal leaders will report to the life group coordinate. And so we are being accountable to our leaders, right? And of course, over time, what we also do is we try to meet quarterly. Now that we have different locations in Bangalore, we try to meet at least quarterly or via Zoom. And we have to get this to catch up and to know that everything's going well. So these are some of the responsibilities of the zonal group. Any questions? Any thoughts? Okay. Let's get into personal life and character. Again, we talk about this, either model. Now, when you talk about personal life and character, that is what holds a leader strong, right? Now, actors, what holds you? For example, you know, they're saying, this is saying, right, gifts and skills take us up the ladder. But it's a character that can keep us there. It's very easy to go up a ladder. You join a ministry or you join as an ushering team. You become the ushering team leader. Then from there, you get into becoming a cell group leader. Or you become a cell group member, a cell group leader, associate leader, team leader. And then from there on, you can get into becoming, you know, into the pastoral team. And then you're there. Now, it's easy to go up the ladder because we got gifts, skills, talents that God has placed in us and we learn and grow in them. But it's our character that keeps us up there. Jesus was, you know, was a leader and he was able to do everything that he did because he led by example. The cell leader must model being a disciple of Jesus to his members, right? Be an example and leaders reproduce their own kind, right? So personal life and character. If you and I, for example, if there's a leader who's always getting upset, right? Even for the smallest of things. What is going to happen? Now people in the cell group will notice it. Two things can happen. You're going to say, hey, we have this leader getting, now he's going to get upset. They just going to let it go. Or they also get upset because leaders reproduce their own kind. You've got a leader who's always grumbling, you know, always, you know, murmuring and rumbling and saying, you know, what, what's going to happen? It's going to run off onto the members. So lead by example, be a model. I'm not saying everything's going to work perfectly, right? You will have ups and downs, but ask that question. What would Jesus do in this situation? Right? So model being a disciple of Jesus, read God's word, you know, stand by the principles that God has given us, right? And even as you leave in that, people will look at you as an example and they will want to be or do things like how you do it. I remember talking to one wonderful leader, wonderful man of God. This was many years back. And as I was talking to him, I asked him, tell me something about your prayer of life. And he started saying, you know, I wake up very early in the morning because I have small children, so I wake up very early in the morning and I like to spend time in prayer. So I asked him how early? He said sometimes I wake up at 4 a.m. or sometimes at 3 a.m. and I was like, wow, this man has got the kids, he's a working professional and he's doing ministry. And he wakes up so early, what a sacrifice. And that's why he's able to, you know, do all of this, whatever he's doing. You can see the fruit in his ministry. So I remember at a very young age, I decided to myself, whatever I do, I must not compromise on my prayer of life. Because that is what is going to help me become more like Jesus. That is what is going to help me to stand and that's what's going to help me to make ministry fruitful. So, you know, I remember from then on, I always have to have it. I wake up very early. Is it easy? Not always. But it's a joy because it's something that I enjoy doing. You know, Jesus, I'm sure I wouldn't have been grumbling early morning or after one day. I would have to speak to my father. It was a joy for him. And so when we do these things, people will ask, people will learn, people will watch and learn. They will definitely. And so be ready. Now don't make up stories. If you make up stories, then, you know, it's not going to be powerful. It's not going to minister to the other person. So when I talk about being an example or model, just share things in your life. And we can do it differently, but we can minister to them. Secondly, have a passion for your cell group. The key to a powerful cell group ministry is a leader who passionately pursues the vision of the church as being the life of the little church. That's why we call it life group, right? Cell groups are the life of the church, right? And now imagine you go to a cell group and everyone are, you know, the leader is not passionate about. He's just doing it because he has to. What will happen? It's not going to, you know, it's better to close it down if you're not doing it passionately. But you've got to be passionate about it, right? So, for example, Wednesday comes. You must, for example, Saturday is your cell group. By Wednesday, you must have a sensitive sermon at least once. You must have at least, you know, made a few pointers on the sermon. Why are you doing all this? Because you want to do well. You're passionate about your people. You're serving. You're passionate about the cell group. You're passionate about what God has called you. The Wednesday. Okay. And then, you know, you should have spent time praying for your cell group members. And then by Friday, you should have listened to the sermon at least a second time. And then Saturday morning, spent time in prayer, just praying and asking God to move as the Holy Spirit to touch and minister to people. Let there be healings, let there be deliverance, let new people come. You're passionate about the cell group. And then on the day of the cell group or Saturday, right? You may have had a terrible week from Monday to Friday at work, but don't bring work into this. Be passionate about what you're doing. The week was hard, but like it was going to be good. And, you know, you're driving them to come and to enjoy meeting God's presence. And so you see, look at passion and intense driving or over-mastering conviction that demands action. Passion is an intense driving over-mastering conviction that demands action. It's not just there, but it demands an action, right? Thirdly, conviction, a cell that is full of life is led by a leader driven with a conviction that life takes place. Life of the church takes place in the cells, right? Be convicted. Now, what do I mean by being convicted? Now, you may have just 10 people in your cell group, right? Now, don't feel, you know, what I think I'm better than this. I wish I could preach on Sunday morning in front of 500 people. Now, it's a good desire. It's a good passion. It's good to have that, right? But be convicted that even these 12 or 10 people that I have are people who can be raised up as 10 great leaders for the kingdom of God. Be convicted that what you are doing in a cell group is something that is bearing fruit in the kingdom of God. Be convicted that as a leader, what I'm doing, God is watching over me and God will reward me. People may not reward me, but God will reward me. And so be convicted that the cell group is not just a group, but it is a place where people can really, you know, serve, be ministered to and experienced the presence of God. And that conviction is there. People will see it. People will, you know, catch that conviction or catch that vision. If you are not convicted that a person can get healed and you say, okay, why don't you come on Sunday to church and I'll pray for you? Because there, you know, it's when we pray in the church it could be better. No, you'll be convicted. If God says he'll do it, he will do it. So the degree of that conviction determines the degree of passion the leader possesses. Right? If you start as a cell group leader, if you start a cell group you must be convicted that one day we're going to have 12 new cell groups. That's a conviction. I mean, look at them and say they may look like, you know, they're just learning, you know, just the baby steps. They're still drinking the milk of God's word. But we're convicted that one day these 12 people will become good cell group leaders and maybe they can go on to become 12 pastors or 12 ministry leaders in the church. And when you're convicted, you hold on to that. Right? Okay. So ministering to your cell members. Chapter 6. We'll do as much as we can for another few minutes. Yeah. So basic information for incoming cell members. Right? Now when cell members come in, you know, most of them would be believers but some of them are unsafe. Right? So, for example, somebody has come to church to say, hey, I'm from all different faith but I've heard about life groups. I want to know what it is. I live in this area. Can I come? Right? And obviously we can say, please, please do come. Be part of life group. And when they come in, right, they work with each one as appropriate according to the time they need, meaning. There's a person who can come in with 10 years of experience but there's a person who can come in with one year of experience as a believer and there's a person who could come with absolutely no experience. You talk to them about Old Testament. They don't know. They don't know who's Moses. They don't know who's anybody else. They don't know nothing. Right? So, work with each one appropriately. Now, if you're talking to the person who's 10 years in the Lord, right, and you don't give him milk, give him the solid word, you're going up to his level. But for example, you're talking to somebody who's one year in the Lord. We don't ridicule them. You don't know what is Holy Spirit. You didn't know the mind gets the Holy Spirit. Obviously, we don't want to put them down. Work with them. Our goal is not to prove that we know better than them, but our goal is to make them leaders, to make them minister to them and raise them up as leaders. And when somebody is new in the Lord, they're going to spend maybe, you know, or somebody who's just an unbeliever, there's a lot of time that needs to be spent with them. Right? So, once a person has moved on, right, so usually what happens is when a visitor comes in one week, two weeks, and then eventually, slowly, they will choose whether they'll continue or whether they will stay on. Now, there are times people will continue. Sometimes people will move on. That's all right. No, especially if you look at, you know, in church, this happened many times, right, where people come to church on Sundays and they were the first type who would say, I love the church services. It's so wonderful. I enjoyed the preacher. I enjoyed the worship. I'll see you next Sunday. The next Sunday, they're not there. The following Sunday also, they're not there. And then they don't even see you. They don't even come after them. You followed up, but sometimes they may say, you know, I'm going here or I'm doing this. You get to know that they don't know how to come back. It's all right. Nothing wrong with the preacher. Nothing wrong with the worship. Right? Now, you'll have another set of people who will come on Sunday and say, you know, they may not say anything. They may just come and say, give their names for the first time with those. They may just go off, but they come every Sunday after them. Right? They're coming every Sunday. Right? So the same way, you know, over time, you give them opportunities. Right? And look at this. When a new person has moved from being a visitor to being committed, that is what the cell leader needs to explain privately or in person to every new incoming cell member. Now, what is the vision of the church? Right? The history, the vision and purpose of ABC are statement of faith. Information about church membership need to be committed to a cell group. Learning about the future of ABC, what ABC 12 cell groups are. Learn about water baptism. That's if needed. Learn about baptism, get to the spirit. Okay. So let me give you a class example. One of the things that we do in church is when people are due to church, they come in and they decide to keep coming in. That's what we come to be. They're coming. So every quarter, that's every four months, what we have is we have something called as the VIP banquet. Right? So what basically what happens is after the Sunday service, those who are attending ABC for the last four months and you have decided to make ABC as your home church or you have decided to continue to worship at ABC, please stay back after Sunday service. So they stay back. What we do? We number one first thing. We say the history of the church. 2001, ABC has started. This is the vision. These are the different locations that are there. This is the purpose of the church. Now they've been attending church, but they don't know all of this. So they need to know. What do we believe as a church? What is our statement of faith? Everything. We have a PPT. Everything is one of our pastors or one of our volunteers will just MC and they will say all of these things. Okay. So some of you have been attending. If you'd like to be church members, we have a slip. Please write me your names, your address and we'll add your details on the church website. So when we, sorry, on the church database and when we have it on our database, you will receive all our, you know, events, all details about events, your birthdays, your anniversaries, you'll receive your birthday cards and all of these things will happen. Then we tell them about life groups. So we have life groups. These are the different life groups. These are the different locations. We encourage you to tick off your closest area so that we can connect you to our life. Life group is a place where you can grow in the things of God. Right. Now, when they come to a life group, the life group leaders now take it forward. Okay. What is APC 12? We teach them. Then we also have what about the gifts of the spirit. We have weekend schools. We have boats and everything that is there available, we make it available for those who come to church. Right. So it's the same model that we can follow when you talk about this type of group as well. It will come in, share these things. Now, it could be a repeat. They may say, I already know this. They say, okay, let's replay this so that we don't know the same thing. Nothing wrong. And that way, what you're doing is you're setting the tone for the person. He or she is new, but what happens is they feel that they are part of this vision and they feel that, hey, I'm part of APC. It doesn't matter. There's two weeks in church. But if I decided to be part of this church or this center, I'm part of the vision. They included me into this. And they feel special. They feel countered as well. And so that way, you know, those who are new will feel comfortable. They'll be able to grow with things of God. Right. Okay. We'll stop here and we'll continue from cell lessons next week and try to cover as much as we can. Right. All right. Any questions? No questions. Okay. All right. So have a good weekend and see you on Monday. God bless.
