What
Paul-Timothy is
•
Paul-Timothy offers 150+ free, brief, illustrated studies
of 75 biblical topics, to help shepherds and other leaders train
novice shepherds and church planters.
• Each topic has parallel studies for shepherds and children's
workers.
• As a mentor who trains new workers, you will choose Paul-Timothy
materials that meet a current need of each apprentice's congregation, cell or community group.
• P-T studies come keyed to a menu
that will help you choose a study that will help your apprentice
shepherds and workers, now.
• Many studies will
fit on the two sides of a sheet of paper and can be formatted into booklets.
• Introductory workshops can be arranged for trainers but are not required.
Workshops introduce proven practices that help trainers empower novice leaders to start and multiply congregations
and cells of new believers.
How
Paul-Timothy is different from other materials
•
P-T avoids traditional usage of non-NT concepts related to church, chapel,
pastor, clergy, salary, tithing, sacraments, power and privilege.
• P-T is not a traditional school course in which
everybody studies the same materials which they may never need or
use.
• P-T materials are written simply and clearly, so that
they are both easy to read and easy to translate into other languages.
• Each P-T study provides Bible texts to read, practical
ministry advice, activities for the week, and plans for
next week's workship time.
• P-T studies are intensely biblical, not another set of lessons
from Western, systematic theology.Thus, they are suitable for mentors,
coaches and pastors who train congregational shepherds and cell
group leaders to train others, in turn.
• P-T has no copy and translation restrictions, no contracts
to sign, no fees to pay.
• P-T may be freely translated, distributed and even sold.
Whom
Paul-Timothy is for
Both traditional congregations and informal house groups reproduce
only as fast as they can train new shepherds and make new disciples.
Some shepherds may not qualify as biblical elders, but they can provide
pastoral leadership to little congregations. These materials can help
you train and mentor both novice and more mature shepherds who can
use the materials to train others, in turn.
How
to use Paul-Timothy
When you meet with an apprentice shepherd, you should do the following:
• Listen to their report about their congregation, cell or group.
• Let them teach you what they have learned from their reading.
• Consult the P-T menu and help them plan what they will do
in the coming week with their co-workers.
• Help them to plan their next worship time both for adults and
for children.
• Provide them with Bible texts and P-T training materials to
read on their own.
• Pray with them for their congregation and their trainees.
