What is a disciple?
A disciple can be simply described

as following Jesus to learn from
Him and to become like Him.”
(Moon, 2013)

“ hristianity without the living
Christ is inevitably Christianity
without discipleship and Christianity
without discipleship is always
Christianity without Christ.”
Dietrich Bonhoeffer, The Cost of Discipleship, 1937, (New
York: Touchstone, 1995), p. 59.
Jesus said,
“Make Disciples”

WHY DO WE NEED TO GET INVOLVE

IN MAKING DISCIPLE?
“Christ is waiting with longing desire for the

manifestation of Himself in His church.
When the character of Christ shall be
perfectly reproduced in His people,
then He will come to claim them as His
own.”
COL Chp3
HOW 1. Organize a Functional Sabbath School Council

?  Administrative body of the Sabbath School
 Planning and Administering approved items
 No council, No SS direction
2. Deliberately enroll ALL Church Members in the

Sabbath School Class record
 There is no option, everyone must be listed in the Class Record/Data Base
 the School owns you for you to be educated and HEART transformed
HOW 3. Organize New Members Class

?  All newly baptized must be enrolled in the Sabbath School NMC
 Sabbath School Teachers’ Training for NMC
4. Conduct Training for Lay Leaders for

Discipleship/Personal Ministry
5. Church Board Approval on Implementation &
monitoring on the GLOBAL-TMI-GROW CYCLE
 Personal Ministry Leader in charge
THE DISCIPLESHIP PLAN IN THE SSC/CG
In harmony with the Church Manual, Global TMI

provides a single framework for the local church’s
discipleship plan that includes both outreach ministries
and spiritual nurture.
WHAT IS GLOBAL TMI?
Global TMI is a call for every church and

every member to become actively
involved in making disciples using Christ’s
method.
TOTAL MEMBER
INVOLVEMENT
The number of MEMBERS
does not equal success.
The number of WORKERS

equals success.
GLOBAL TMI IS LOCAL

Total Member Involvement (TMI) is a
global initiative, but its success depends on
the faithful efforts of pastors and lay
leaders in local churches.
“Let every church member

become a working member, to
build up spiritual
interests” (Evangelism, p. 64).
Eph 4
7
But to each one of us grace has been given as Christ
apportioned it. 8 This is why it[a] says:
“When he ascended on high,
he took many captives
and gave gifts to his people.”[b]
11 It was he who "gave gifts to people"; he appointed some

to be apostles, others to be prophets, others to be evangelists,
others to be pastors and teachers. Eph 4
Apostles- Pioneering, Catalyst, Missionary

Prophets- Expose, Embody
Evangelist- Invite & Excite
Pastor/Shepherd- Nurture & Connect
Teacher- Inform & interpret
12
to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be
built up 13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son
of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of
Christ.
14
Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves,and
blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and
craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming. 15 Instead, speaking the truth in
love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is
the head, that is, Christ. 16 From him the whole body, joined and held together
by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part
does its work.
“The work of God in this earth can never

be finished until the men and women
comprising our church membership rally
to the work and unite their effort with
those of ministers and church
officers” (Testimonies for the Church, vol.
9, p. 116).
OUR RESPONSIBILITY
“Let ministers teach church
members that in order to grow in
spirituality, they must carry the
burden that the Lord has laid upon
them,—the burden of leading souls
into the truth”
(Christian Service, p. 69).
OUR RESPONSIBILITY
“The greatest help that can

be given our people is to
teach them to work for God,
and to depend on Him, NOT
on the ministers.”
7Testimonies, 19
OUR RESPONSIBILITY
“Many would be willing to work if they

were taught how to begin. They need to be
instructed and encouraged. Every church
should be a training school for Christian
workers.” The Ministry of Healing, p. 149
A Biblical Strategy for

Disciple-Making
Evangelism
“The real character of the church is

measured, not by the high profession she
makes, not by the names enrolled on her
books, but by what she is actually doing
for the Master, by the number of her
persevering, faithful workers.”
Gospel Workers, p. 200
“Encourage the personal
ministries department to
enlist all members and
children in some form of
personal outreach
(missionary) service”
(p. 138).
“Its chief concern [church
board] is having an active
discipleship plan in place,
which includes both the
spiritual nurture of the
church and the work of
planning and fostering
evangelism”
(p. 134-135).
“The board is responsible
to: 1. Ensure that there is an
active, ongoing
discipleship plan in place,
which includes both
spiritual nurture and
outreach ministries. This is
the most important item
for the board’s attention” (p.
137).
THE DISCIPLESHIP
