OCTOBER 2006 One pebble thrown into a lake creates ripples which reach beyond our sight. Nina and I saw this last Sunday, October 8, after visiting the church where Wayne is discipling the church staff. Recently, the senior pastor, who was there for 14 years, was lead to resign for another ministry position. Yet, we are seeing how God is using what has been built into the remaining leadership (the staff pastors and one deacon) through these months of discipleship. At the end, the associate pastor, Ric McCoy, in tears asked
those in the congregation who have been touched by his life
and how God is working through him in this discipleship process
to talk with Wayne and Nina to encourage them for building into
him. For one and a half hours we were amazed to hear one story
after another of how God is touching others through the impact
on Ric’s life SEPTEMBER 2006 15 Years of Ministry in Writing to Reproduce Discipleship... Nina and I have been discipling God's people for over 15 years now. Our confidence is NOT in what we do, but that we are walking people through Christ's  purpose
and path for discipleship as recorded in the book of Mark. This
is NOT our ideas on what discipleship should be all about. IT
IS THE ROADMAP CHRIST SET UP FOR HIS DISCIPLES (click
to view this roadmap as defined by God in Mark). And then,
at the end, He told them to GO and DISCIPLE in the same manner
I have with you (Matt. 28:19, 20) We have just been chosen to package this method and message in a form that communicates and is reproducible today. We are contacting publishers and will send the written manuscript , The Disciple Code...Book 1 / The Illusion of Trust to be examined by them. If there is interest, we are open to how this might be pursued, whether that is traditional or self or electronic publishing. We want to investigate ways to publish it in an E-BOOK form so that people can purchase the materials online. The value this represents is that costs will be lower (since their is no literal book production and distribution). Also, an advantage will be that people will be able to order the materials anytime or anywhere. |
OCTOBER 2006 Discipleship Valuable to Transition church to NEW Senior Pastor.... As we reported in Spring of 2005, Quantum L.E.A.P. Discipleship began a unique opportunity of discipling an entire church staff including the Sr. Pastor and some of the deacon board. (See "Discipling Church Staff"). As we grow in what it means to daily Follow Christ in our lives, and as we yield control to Him through trust, we should be seeing how God is "working all things together for good." This is one of those stories. Unknown to any of us, including the Sr. Pastor, he is resigning his position due to a new ministry assignment he feels God has lead him too. In the Boat of Trust... In the process, the existing church leadership, pastors and deacons, have never been in this "boat experience" before. And, God is using this transition or time of change as a means of deepening the discipleship process into these men. And, I have the honor to be involved, assisting them to see how this circumstance has been part of God wanting to challenge them to FOLLOW HIM and Let Him do the becoming of where He is leading this church body. They have never walked in FAITH through such a time of testing. Listen to what one deacon writes:

Last
Saturday, Sept. 23, 2006, Nina was looking at the newspaper
before she went to bed. All of a sudden, she came into the living
room yelling, WAYNE!!! Do you know who is speaking at Scofied
Church tomorrow?" Of course, I thought she was hallucinating.
Her response was, "Dr. Larry Crabb!!" | ©
