Spirit Empowered Equippers

"Disciples are made by the persevering proclamation of the Word of God by the people of God in prayerful dependence on the Spirit of God."  from The Vine Project 

Pray that each member of West Cannon Baptist Church will 
persevere in the faithful proclamation of the Word of God 
in prayerful dependence on the Spirit of God.

Two books that have greatly influenced my ministry philosophy are
The Trellis and the Vine, which explains difference between vine work, "the prayerful preaching and teaching of the word of God to see people converted and grow to maturity as disciples of Christ - Vine work is the Great Commission" and trellis work "creating and maintaining the physical and organizational structures and programs that support vine work and its growth."
and
The Vine Project, which helps churches think through how to implement the ideas from The Trellis and The Vine.


HERE is a detailed summary of the main questions of The Vine Project
1.  Why make disciples?
2.  What is a disciple?
3.  How are disciples made?
4.  Who makes disciples?
5.  Where are disciples made?

Here is a video review/explanation of the book.
