 Okay, any any questions so far from what we discussed, you know, it could be about the You know this cell group This model of cell group ministry itself Any questions or anything that you feel, okay, you know Will this any you know if you have any doubts, you know Like will this help? Will this really be successful or anything of that sort? Any questions at all or more details You could ask, you know, some of you shared right I think Aaron you shared And I think they've also shared that being part of you know, like a small group kind of a Big part of small groups during the week, right and Well, because of COVID I think you know, maybe there are some changes, but you could just share, you know What are some challenges that you face in Such meetings, maybe we could what are the good things that have happened in those meetings? What are the what are some of the challenges? If you could just share, you know something that comes to your mind, you know This is the challenge that we face in these meetings or you know I think that would be helpful. We can we can take a look at that So anybody If you've been part of a cell group if you're part of a small group What is it something that you observed as a as a challenge something that needs to be addressed Maybe a limitation Anyone probably Aaron you can share you're part of some groups, right? Okay. Yeah, go ahead Challenge that I face during this Is that there are some people know who never used to come out from the box? so I'm sorry. Just say that again. Yeah There are some people know who never used to come out from the box so for me, I Find some challenges to pull up pull them out from the box. So Yeah So who never come out from the what was that box from the box? Sorry, I didn't get that word. What is that? Like just say like Even in the even in the group. No, there are some people who never used to talk Oh, I see you come out of there. Okay. They're shell kind of thing. Okay Okay, so so they're they're happy to be there, but they are not You know, you don't know what's actually happening in their lives because they're not sharing, right? Okay Okay, fine Yeah, so Yeah, one thing to Take care of that is to Maybe involve them in praying You know, maybe they're not sharing. They're not speaking but during the prayer time when you know pray requests are there You know, you could ask or when Maybe you're not taking turns to pray, you know one after the other to involve them and say Why don't you why don't you pray? right, so that would In a small way, they would start doing that um Well, uh, the thing is to be patient with them Right, maybe they have some challenges. They have you know, they're They're afraid of you know speaking in public Um afraid of sharing from you know, what's happening in their lives in public Maybe that's the thing so So to be patient with them and also Maybe in your personal times, right? Maybe they're not part of the group in your personal times to ask the same questions Right, so maybe in the group you asked, you know, okay, what do you how is? Let's say, okay, how how were you able to exercise faith this week? You know, maybe to receive financial blessings Uh, if you have this financial need and uh, you'll ask that in a group and They were quiet they didn't say anything So maybe after the meeting is over, maybe the next day Maybe on the phone you can ask the same thing. Hey, so, you know, what do you think do you? We're able to you know, remember we were discussing this so I just wanted to ask you How's it going and uh, is there something? You know, uh, the same question You know, you ask them and see what their responses and then say, okay. Thank you Um, and then keep it going for some time like that, you know And then slowly encourage them, you know, I think you should share it. This is this is so so good This is so useful that you are sharing it and it's it's bless me. It's helpful. I mean if it is right So it is uh, it's a new perspective. It's really helpful So, you know next time when we have a meeting, I think you should share it to the group if it has helped me I'm sure it'll help others as well so, you know, others will stand to You know benefits from it. They'll be blessed. They'll be edified. So please share So maybe over a period of time, you know, this person will also get to share Right. Thanks. Yeah Yeah Okay, anyone else anyone else What about challenges like the the other extreme, you know, the person keeps on talking Doesn't give others a chance right completely Uh, what do you call you know Takes captive the entire meeting Goes on talking and another thing and another thing and another thing, you know Did anyone face that kind of a challenge? Any meetings any such challenge the other extreme people just It depends on the kind of life group, right? Like if it involves others speaking Then you might face this kind of a challenge. I don't know if you face that anyone Okay Yeah So, uh, so that that could also be a challenge, you know, like in a sense, uh, you faced Kiran Okay, right Many many times. Is it okay? Okay. Yeah, so the thing is to see there are two ways of You know addressing this At the start itself when everybody is assembled To set the expectation to share the guideline. Okay to say, okay, we are going to have this Today we are going to do this And make sure that person is also there, you know Who has this tendency to keep talking and and not give others a chance to share so To set that Accept that expectation and understanding that this is what we're going to do We're going to take maybe two minutes for each person to share Right and and that is it we're going to so that everybody gets an opportunity to share And so you can you can set it right at the beginning. So this is the experience everybody understands Okay, and you can also say, you know, if you're going beyond three minutes or four minutes, you know, uh, I might interrupt I might say, okay, let's move on to the next person. So, you know, I don't So, you know, so you you you're setting it up initially itself You're saying, okay, this is what will happen if you go beyond so that's the understanding So the person is not hurt in any way is not upset and also knows, okay Three minutes or four minutes now It's for the other to give to have an opportunity And before you know, before the meeting actually started itself The life group leader has set the expectation as is already instructed saying that this is what will happen that That he or she will Interrupt and say Let's give let's move on so So that person understands that so this would really help right, so Hopefully solve this issue, but you need to you know, keep reiterating this at the beginning cannot after everything starts so at the beginning this would So everybody gets an understanding. The other thing is also, you know Let's say you've not set that expectation and the meeting is happening and then somebody's talking on and on You can politely interrupt and say, okay, excuse me. I'm sorry to interrupt, but I think we've spent a lot of time Discussing this so I'd like to you know, you can just say that and I'd like to give An opportunity to so and so to this person on them and to the next person to share Right to to hear what they have learned or what they want to testify So that way politely you can just you know interrupt and you can do that Okay, so that would help Okay, fine Any other like Challenges, you know apart from This kind of a thing, you know people speaking people not speaking any other challenges in these small group meetings Anything like thomas anything that you faced or prince anyone Dave Okay, if anything comes to your mind Yeah, thomas. Yes I was attending not in a leadership role. I was just just sitting and listening I Happened in the leadership role that I didn't notice that because even I was you know, baby I was growing in the world that time So I couldn't That's the truth. Yeah Okay, yeah, so if anything comes to your mind, you know, you can always you know Share that I think it'll be helpful. Okay, so let's continue so We're going to continue about and continue and we're going to look at Yeah, the personal life and character of the leader. Okay, so we said, okay, these are the responsibilities of the cell group leader so now You know there there is this second section which talks about the Developing the you know cell group leader or the training the cell group leader. So we're going to look at that but the thing is that You know, if you were to Narrow it down, you know, here are some things one is that the person The cell group leader must himself or herself be a disciple Be an example Okay, because Who you are is what you can develop in others If I am a person, you know, who is Who is of you know a certain certain character and certain You know Certain things that are in me Then I would develop the same kind of people Right. So leaders produce their own kind. So, you know, let's say for example, I'm always I if I'm always on time if I'm always before time Right for any any particular thing if I'm always well prepared then The people in whom I am people whom I am developing as leaders would also Learn By my example or from my example, you know, they might have challenges But this is these are values that are instilled at them in instill in them. Sorry Instill in them and these are things that they're learning by observing. Okay, and and this is what They will also develop into right So the things that you value they begin to value also the things that you look down on they begin to look down on right and Y'all that is why you always say that your life, you know, our life speaks louder Than the messages that we preach, right? Yes, the messages are helpful definitely, you know, it's You know, the word of God, it's the truth So definitely the the true God will use that and God it's it's it's a big part of what we do The second The other side of it is that The life that we leave So the right that we leave Is definitely going to be produced in the leaders that we develop so So we need to give attention to that right that we ourselves first Follow the Lord we ourselves You know ensure that these values are in us. This disciplines are in us So when we raise up leaders, it'll be in them as well Okay, the second thing is You know To have Conviction to have passion for Well for for the work that we're doing Okay to be passionate About what we are doing You know, so not to do things, you know, they're not to be a cell group leader Uh Maybe grudgingly, you know grumbling complaining. Oh, you know, I have already so much work and then on top of that, you know I've been invited to this thing. I don't know why I took up this This responsibility and there's so much on my plate. There's so much that I'm carrying. I'm not able to do that. Well You know, so that is definitely not going to reflect a life of passion for the so the things that you're doing Right. So well, we need to make some changes and say, okay, maybe you need to take some time off right, maybe you need to Take a season of rest and maybe maybe there is something genuinely happening Right, too many things happening and you're not able to focus on any one of them Maybe you need to take some time rest and be refreshed and And then be even better equipped to face these things challenges, right? So it's no harm, but let uh You know, let our life be a passionate one that you're whatever you're doing that you're passionate about it when you say passion we're saying, okay, something that's an intense liking and intense driving force right conviction and And and your life shows it your actions show it like your speech shows it right So to have that to be that so that is very very contagious very contagious We say contagious. It means that it passes on to others. They also begin to catch that fire to be passionate about Something to be passionate about the work of the lord to be passionate about building people In the kingdom to be passionate about reaching out to christ, right? So To be passionate doesn't mean that you're just making a loud noise and you know All that no it is that that you're going at it All your life, you know with all everything within you that you are You know reaching for it that you're doing it with everything within you. You're giving it all your best effort You're giving it your best effort. You're without You know without losing Steve without compromising All right, so that is what passionate life looks like Might be doing things quietly you might be doing You know certain things, but then you're you're at it consistently over and over and over again Right, so a passionate life third thing is a conviction okay conviction about the the vision of The life group ministry now. This is a very important thing. You know if What happens if you're not in agreement? Okay, the times when it happens, you know, right? You don't agree with the The way the ministry is done then Then the better thing to do the best thing to do is not to get into it Right Or to ask for more proof or to ask for more information So that you can be convinced or you can be you know a person of conviction about the way in which A certain ministry is done A method of ministry, right? This is a method, right? We're saying a small small group ministry. It's a method. It's a tool for discipleship So if we don't have that conviction if you're saying that okay, this may work. This may not work. I don't know uh, the thing is to You know spend time with someone who is convinced who is living that life with conviction and to And to get more information, you know, why is it asked questions? You know, I have these doubts. I haven't you know, I have these Uh, I have these clarifications, you know, how how does it help a person? Will it really help? Will it really build disciples? uh, you know Are there any downsides to it? You know, is there negative sides to it, right? You ask those questions and You know, be convinced yourself be convicted yourself Okay the Be convinced about the model of ministry and uh, so this will also help in In when when you're a person of conviction when you're Convinced about certain things then it would Also mean that it would help put the effort because if I'm convicted about something if I'm convinced And if I have the conviction that this is what is going to be It'll it'll definitely work Right, then I will put my best effort All right, otherwise I I just might Get pass mark I might say, okay. This is this is not something that is helping. This is not something that is working. So Uh, you know, I might just Put some Some pass mark, you know 40 per I'll be happy with 40 percent. I'll be happy to put in 40 percent worth of Efforts right okay so That is about Some, you know, we'll be we're going to look at some more details about Some more information about the cell group leaders when we look at the section on cell group leaders training. Okay Okay, so ministering to cell members So here are some things for You know ministering to cell members. Let's look at that so What are some basic information that I should be sharing when there are new people Who are coming in as cell members, you know, maybe, you know Initially you start let's say you're starting off with two people. You're starting off with three people Okay, then there is an additional person who joins the cell group so It could be maybe a person who's not yet saved maybe a new believer and uh, you know, they're all somehow, you know, they are They're now coming to the cell group, right? So accordingly you need to You know, if it's a person who's not saved then But he's still interested, you know, I want to be part of this then the thing is to share the gospel for foremost It need not be in a group setting. It can be in a one-to-one setting Right one-to-one setting meaning your personality meeting the person You know in your personal time outside of the cell group meeting and And sharing the gospel and saying, okay, the person is very keen that person wants to follow Jesus doesn't know how is interested so you you know share the gospel and and lead them to christ right lead them to christ and and teach about being filled with the holy spirit And receive the baptism of the holy spirit so you can do that and this Need not happen in the cell group meeting It can happen On a one-on-one if you're meeting them personally and sharing, you know, this person wants to come or this couple wants to attend and They are very interested. They're very keen, but they do not know Jesus like they they want to know They are interested. They want to know so now this might Maybe, you know, this might take time. They're just exploring the faith So you can, you know, give them resources You can they might have a lot of questions And you can do that and this need not happen in a cell group setting Now you decide and you can you can choose. Okay, maybe I just need to do this outside of, you know In cell group, we are talking about n times in the cell group. We are talking about, you know, we're discussing maybe You know, some of these heavier topics which may not be You know, which they they might be over too overwhelmed by this right and they are not even believers now So since they're interested, I will you know, you can choose to meet with them separately Maybe at the home itself, but meet with them separately and share the gospel Leave them into some of the basics of the faith And get them filled, you know, minister the baptism of the Holy Spirit and and do that and then, you know, invite them for the Cell group meetings. Okay. So in the cell group meetings, let's say you have New believers, you have others who are coming now here are some things to share Okay Um, if you're doing it, you can share this with them privately, right? You can share this with them in a separate setting Or if your cell group is full of new people, then you can, you know, have a session like this Where you're talking about the church Your history vision and purpose of church What is a statement of faith of the church? Um, what is it about how does one become a church member? You know, is there a process in the church for which One needs to go through in order to become a cell group member. So So then sorry, a church member, right? And then then about cell groups Being committed to a cell group. What is the cell cell group like? And and then so on, right? So you can also talk to them about the sacraments of the church And I water baptism, you know, maybe they're coming from a Um, totally unchurched background and they have not been baptized in water or maybe they come from a different Um, you know a christened background where They have not been baptized in water, but so you can talk to them about that Okay Okay, so this information is In apc. It's normally available on the website so people can access it So you can guide them to that you can have a session And guide them to that and say, okay, you read up And if you have more if you have any doubts, I can clarify also, right? Now, uh, what about the cell lessons? Okay Which means what is the content of what we are going to discuss in the cell meeting? Okay, so after A lot of things a lot of, uh, you know, trying out a lot of things we thought it is it was good To look at Either, you know, if they are new believers The life the cell group leader will understand. Okay, are they new believers or are they You know, have they been believers for some time? So if they are new believers, it's it's good if all of them do the The foundations course the biblical foundations course Right, it'll be helpful for the new believers for them to be rooted grounded and so that No, the other things can be built on because if the foundation is Going to be weak, you know, what they actually believe About these things it's it's going to be very shaky than the other things You know, it'll be difficult for them to You know build on the other things, right? So it's good to start with that and and lay that foundation and you know now This course is available online, right in the e-learning portal. It's available So people can do that. They can they can read they can watch video They can answer questions and they can do this on their time. So Either the cell group itself can do it together In a cell group meeting If, you know, most of the people are going to be new believers Or you can individually just direct them to the resource and say, okay, why don't you do that? And you know, we'll discuss it, right? We'll discuss it. We'll catch up on it Um, the second thing that we said was okay Let's discuss Let's see how we can use sermon message Sermon notes the sermon outlines and use that as our Cell lesson, okay How we'll use that as content for discussion For learning. Okay. The reason is this very simple In this on on Sundays during the Sunday service, we have heard the sermon being preached Okay, we have heard it But here's an opportunity to Put it to practice But every sermon that is preached we have an opportunity to put it to practice, right? We may put it to practice. We may not know that's a different thing altogether Like you may hear it forget it go back next Sunday for the next sermon hear it forget it So in the cell group during the cell group meeting we have an opportunity to Review it, right? Okay. This is what we heard And what does it how does it help when we review it when we talk about it again? It helps us to remember It helps us to recall some of the things that we learned It helps us to put to practice. So here's a life group leader who's You know in the life group setting in the life group meeting and you're reviewing it and everybody's Sharing about it and the life group leaders also encouraging, you know, this week when you go, uh, you know Try to put it to practice, you know, believe god for those answers Believe god to receive in faith, you know, put those principles that you learned And to practice I give glory to god, you know, hope against hope, you know in in faith in hope believe so You know, don't do not consider the things Do not consider, you know, like just like Abraham did he did not consider the deadness of his body or Or of Sarah's womb but gave glory to god. So you do the same thing Right, you do the same thing like what Abraham did And uh, let's come back and talk about it. So here's an opportunity to apply the truth So you recall you you remember it gets reiterated And you get an opportunity to apply. Okay, and if there are any doubts we get clarified also. So The cell lessons being sunday messages really helps So let's say, um, you know, if if you are pastoring a church and So the the best way to do is make available Uh, what was shared on sunday? It will help them, right? It can either be an mp3 recording It need not be a big video setup, right? It can be a simple way. It could be You just record it on your phone And uh, maybe you don't have a website But you have a whatsapp group. Okay, see if you can send it as a whatsapp message Maybe the man, you know, it may be a 45 minute whatsapp mp3 If you if you feel at it, okay, it's it's not it's taking up a lot of space Send it as maybe part one part two part three Right so that you split up that mp3 audio Message and you make it available. Okay, and if you have a word doc as a sorry as a sermon outline Make that available to the group as well. Okay, maybe the church is small It's maybe a few people and you have a whatsapp group. Everybody's on it Best way to, you know, make that Best ways to make that available on a word doc or it can be a whatsapp text message itself saying, okay This is the outline. Okay, so then everybody can in their cell groups, you know share discuss learn So so this is something Okay, so first of all, you know, it can be either a biblical foundations course and then we are also, you know Saying that it can be a Sunday message and the the other thing is also to have some special topics. Okay, maybe This particular cell group needs understanding on a particular topic. Maybe There are a lot of people who are, you know, Facing some kind of stronghold emotional strongholds in the mind and maybe that needs to be addressed and we have this resource Um, and then so so the thing is to have a discussion with the leadership I'll just have a discussion with whoever's heading the life group and say, hey, you know For this season, maybe for the next three or four weeks. We'd like to do this You know, there are people facing Like emotional strongholds. They're they're facing these problems. Maybe they need They need some, you know They need some information. They need to do a study from the word They need to Be able to come out of it. So just thought it'll be good if we can do three or four weeks of this So we're going to use this resource What is already there on the website and you know, just keep the you know the the cell pastor or the leader informed And then we can do those special topics Right and it's for the season and then you can get back to sunday messages again So this is what, you know, we'd suggest Okay So ministering to cell members between the meetings. Okay, this is something that we said, you know was Then we when you looked at the responsibilities of the cell group leader So we said, okay pray for the cell group members and also follow up with the individuals uh With these things like during the week either a visit or a you know text message or an email, whatever So here Can I look at okay kind of expanding that and say what else can I do as a cell leader? in between meetings, okay now in between meetings, it could be maybe a week Maybe two weeks Right, so there's a two week gap between meeting one and meeting two So in this two weeks, what can What can I do? Okay, uh, or you know, whenever the group does not meet What can I do as a cell me cell leader on the days that we don't have a meeting? Okay So here are some things. Okay make efforts to contact Contact text them encourage them email Work at a personal level Okay, now Be involved personally in their lives now. It's going to take something out of you to it's going to take some effort It's going to take time Okay, so because all of you know, maybe you're already working as a cell leader You're already working for some organization. Maybe you already have some responsibilities now It's going to be you know additional time right additional effort We need to one needs to understand that but it will be worth it. It will be you know, it'll be helpful because you're contacting them you know apart from the cell group meeting and and You know, it is you're caring for You know, whatever challenges that they may be facing Pay special attention to those going through times of crisis and difficulty. Maybe some are going through Loss in the sense. Maybe they've lost a loved one and they're going through a season of grieving bereavement Maybe somebody is in between jobs, right? They've lost the job. They're applying. They're trying to get a new one Maybe they're going through that challenge, you know, maybe Some others are working on their marriage And they're having a difficult time, you know in their marriage You know, so so these are these are some challenges that people have right so Pay attention to those Challenges pray for those pray for them who have these challenges Direct them to some resources Right, which will help them overcome these challenges, right? Okay, so Developer family By being around other cell members supporting them and encouraging them and when they go through a difficult time You know we and it happens like normally people help one another during You know during times of difficulty during times of crisis, you know And we notice also during the pandemic that How life groups would come around another life group member to help them, right? And many many, you know, such incidents happened Like people From a life group They they cooked and sent food for the for the other members of the life group And they did so till they got well, you know one one family would take care of the breakfast One family took care of the lunch one family took care of the dinner Or you know or in other ways, you know one week one family said okay We'll take care of this next week some other family, right? So they did that they helped so well that you know so that they They are able to come together as a family Um, so this happens outside of the meeting, right? making disciples one other thing is that When the the whole process of being disciples or making disciples the Lord Jesus said Go and make disciples. Okay disciples of all Nations right all people groups teaching them To observe all that I Share all that I taught you Baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, the Holy Spirit. So that was a commission So this making disciples also involves You know certain challenges Or issues that people have which needs to be Spoken about which needs to be addressed which needs to be pointed out Okay, so some people might have addictions Right, which are visible the sense You know, maybe they're addicted to alcohol. Maybe they're addicted to some other substances Maybe they have certain other kinds of addictions Some might have some strongholds some challenges Like some strongholds in the mind. Maybe some emotional challenges I had like maybe anger is an issue Maybe fear is an issue This always fearful fearful about the future fearful about the children fear Maybe some have other issues, you know, whatever these things need to be addressed right these things if If it's brought to our notice, you know, some things are very very Plain to see it's very clear Like you spend time with them You begin to notice this Right either they tell you hey, this is what I do or this is what I'm struggling with or You know, you come to know eventually because of their lifestyle because of You know certain other things that you notice So these need to be Spoken about addressed Right, so as per as a leader Who's taking care of others who's raising up other leaders if these are there One needs to address it With firmness and love Truth spoken with love And it is with the intention of helping it is with the intention of Helping the person overcome Like these so it needs to be addressed it needs to be spoken. Now the thing is yes Uh, some may want it some may some may receive it some will not Some may feel hate. It's a personal thing. Why are you talking about it? Give it time Give it time, but you also make it very clear That uh, well, this is the biblical stand. You know, this is what the word of God says And this is the hope that we have in scripture that one doesn't have to struggle Like one does not have to go through life Every day battling this And you can overcome But you need to receive help take help and you can one can overcome so Um, you can definitely, you know have that Being alive self group leader means having some difficult conversations It's like people Can get offended People might think that hey, why is this person saying? Why don't we just discuss about the bible and go home? You know, why are we talking about these things? But And that's why you need to pick and choose. Okay, when can I address it? like maybe you don't Know that person too well, you know, they've just started coming and maybe You know, you can't go too deep into you know addressing these things But eventually you need to address it anyway, you know, if you notice it, it needs to be addressed, right? Okay Meeting the needs of people if there's someone with a need like food money material things, right? So all the other members can come together and and help Meet that need Okay counseling some members might need a listening here. So it's got to be counsel Um, you can one can always do that. Okay. This is what the word of God says and but if You know, if it needs professional help, you know, you know it because You realize that hey, this is something which is beyond my ability You know, when you say beyond your ability, you're saying, okay, I May not be able to give the time right I may not I don't have the expertise Right, uh Or you feel that okay, this is not what I'm called for right So some of these things maybe it's maybe it needs like professional counseling. Maybe it needs uh, I'm expert advice You know, it can be with finances. It can be with Relationships it can be with you know, addictions, whatever, you know, and you feel that Then you it is best that you direct them to a source direct them to a counselor direct them to someone And and ensure that they get help Okay, so you don't have to take on yourself as a cell group leader And and try to solve it and make mistakes and trial and error and you know, see if it works. No You can always direct Them to people who are already doing it. Well, we're already trained and gifted and called For that kind of a ministry. So why not? direct them towards That's resource so that they can get help of course from time to time. We can always encourage them We can always share with them what the word of God says pray for them pray with them, etc Right, but this we can always direct them. So that's counseling handling conflicts issues problems If there are conflicts between members of the cell Best thing to do is okay Rather than it becoming a gossip session, you know, that person says something about The other person and the other person says something about This person and everything is coming to you best things to get them both together Or get that group together And say, okay, let's talk about it. What seems to be the problem, you know, how can we solve it? How can we address it? So we can resolve conflicts that way and then and then move on Right forgive if anything has been done any wrong thing has been done forgive or if there's a misunderstanding That is clarified Right so people can say, okay. It was just a misunderstanding. Okay fine. No problem Let's let's move on now that there is clarity now that we understand that there was no wrong intention There was no wrong motivation You can move on Okay, when it comes to mentors and proteges, what we are saying is okay if you're mentoring someone Right if you're counseling someone The best thing is that It is of the same gender Okay, so men counsel men men mentor men And this is the best the safest, you know, without so that you can do that without any Emotional entanglements and you know, which could lead to other problems, right? Relationship challenges. So It is safe. It is proven.
