Strategy
Our New Strategy for Multiplication:
Built upon lessons learned from disciple making models around the world, we envision the next generation of Sonlife Classic trainers developing “2:6 Peer Learning Groups” (taken from I John 2:6) eager to learn about the Life of Christ. Committing to two years of ongoing training and investment, these “2:6 Groups” will meet regularly over a period of time to study the Life of Christ and apply these lessons to ministry. Using newly written training manuals and support resources, these leaders will meet for a minimum of 12 days over a chosen period of time. We envision that most will choose to meet quarterly for a two-day period… doing study and practical assignments in between meetings. Some may choose to meet monthly or even weekly.
Coming out of these gatherings will be deepened friendships, accountability, coaching, and ongoing learning and sharpening. Each participant in these “2:6 Groups” will be equipped to multiply a number of updated Sonlife Classic resources within their own ministry and with other leaders.
These “2:6 Groups” will revolve around the three core values of training, coaching, and mentoring (TCM). We will train for understanding, coach for implementation, and then mentor for multiplication.
In October 2009, we launched our first Live 2:6 Conference, training over 170 of our previous alumni and trainers how to conduct 2:6 Groups through their sphere of influence. We anticipate over 100 2:6 Groups to be started all over North America in 2010-2011 and have a faith goal of seeing 1000 of these groups functioning by 2020.
