How to Develop a Freedom Ministry

 

Jesus said "The truth will set you free." (John 8:32)

In order to gain our freedom we must know the truth.

One effective way to help more people to KNOW the truth 

is to establish a study group 

using The Freedom In Christ Small Group Bible Study DVD series.

There are 12 thirty-minute sessions.

The group could meet for 12 weeks

(or 6 weeks with two DVD sessions each week). 

We would be happy to provide support to leaders

so that they could lead the study.

 

The group study can be supplemented

with reading two of Neil Anderson's books: 

Victory Over the Darkness

and

The Bondage Breaker

 

What could the study look like?

 

To build community the study group could begin with dinner at 6:00 pm. 

The evening session could be introduced at the dining table

with stories or a personal example.

After the meal the group moves to another room for the 30 minute DVD.

That is followed with a 10 to 15 minute discussion.

A short desert break could be provided.

If the group has decided on a 6 week format, a second DVD and discussion follows. 

After 15 minutes of sharing and prayer (men and women separately),

the evening can conclude at 9:00 pm.

Some groups may choose to extend the discussion or prayer time

and end at 9:30 pm.

 

Steps to Freedom

After the 8th session, participants are prepared to go through Steps to Freedom

by using the DVD guide (or by inviting us to lead the group through Steps).

Training is also available to leaders

who want to help individuals with Steps to Freedom. 

 

Anyone who wants to move toward a freedom ministry needs to

have a personal Steps to Freedom appointment with a trained facilitator

and after that be trained in leading others through a personal appointment.
