R&R Discipleship Program
R&R (Rebuilding & Renewing) Discipleship Program describes how to develop a program to minister to hurting people in your church. It is a year-long discipleship program for people who have experienced various traumas: sexual abuse, abandonment issues, dissociative issues and addictions. The organizational manual outlines and provides step-by-step guidance to develop a class for these dear people. It helps you to think through needs, to build a team and to define ministry curriculum. It includes teaching outlines and additional resources.
The goal of the program is to encourage people to grow spiritually towards maturity through knowing and choosing
truth. The focus of the discipleship program is three-fold:
- Clearing the way to God the Father
- Teaching skills to access the Word of God
- Teaching people how to be spiritually aggressive
