Leaders

“They’re all around us: family members, those sitting with us in the church pews, others we meet in our daily lives.  We see their brokenness, their struggles, and their pain.  We know we have the truth they need, but how can we disciple them appropriately? How can we help them get past their past?”

Leadership Training

How To Be A Barnabas Training ManualHow to Be a Barnabas   will help you develop discipleship skills through studying the life of Barnabas who was called the “Son of Encouragement.”  It will equip you to be an encourager, appropriately helping the deeply wounded people to move forward in a deeper relationship with God, the only one who can heal them and meet all of their needs.

How to Be a Barnabas Complete Training Course includes a four DVD set taught by Dr. Alaine Pakkala with eight 1-hour training sessions, a Training Manual and a Discipleship Manual.

How to Be a Barnabas  is designed as a stand-alone leaders’ curriculum suitable for training ministry leaders, small group leaders, prayer partners, Bible study leaders and friends or family walking with a hurting person.  Team Building is the cure for getting overwhelmed in ministry.  How to Be a Barnabas  is recommended as a prerequisite for training leaders who will participate in the R&R (Renewing and Rebuilding) Discipleship Program, usually offered in a church setting.

R&R Discipleship Program

The R&R (Rebuilding and Renewing) Discipleship Program is an 11-month class specifically designed to disciple hurting people who are incapable of participating effectively in the mainstream bible studies in your church.  It would meet once a week for a two hour class.  The leadership team would meet for prayer during the half hour before the R&R class.

The hurting person is encouraged to identify lies and false beliefs formed as a result of their trauma, to work through the emotions and forgiveness issues, and to effectively move from victim to victor.

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
