This step centers on the orientation video, its workbook, and the 30 day devotional you can use to train your men for ministry.
The purpose of holding an orientation in your church and playing the video is to introduce your men to: (1) what the Bible says about obeying Christ's new commandment that Christians love each other as he has loved us; (2) the importance of good works in the Christian life; (3) how our good works should address the pressing needs of fellow believers, especially those of widows, single moms, and fatherless children; and (4) how the men's team ministry model can be used to accomplish this task.
After covering this material, the orientation breaks for ten minutes. During that time the men attending decide if they want to stay and be a part of the ministry. Those who stay after the break are given additional instruction and then formed into teams.
By the end of the two and one-half hour orientation, the church has newly formed teams of men who have been trained in the love of Christ, in the needs of widows and single moms, and in the men's team ministry model. In addition, the men will know who their team members are, what their fellow team members' contact information is, and when their first service day will be.
This video contains everything you need to train your men in men's team ministry. Your men will be given an overview of the ministry, then there will be a break when those who want to be a part of the ministry can return, after which you can form your teams.
(The red page numbers in the transcript text correspond to pages in the workbook below.)
Your men will use this workbook to form their teams and learn additional information not included in the video.
You and your men have permission to download, copy, and distribute the workbook for use in your training. Or your men can purchase their own Kindle editions on Amazon for $3.99.
Use the 30 day devotional to help prepare your men spiritually for the ministry ahead and to deepen their understanding of Christ's call to love others through practical service.
Great! You have reviewed the training material you will use to train your men. Now continue to the next step and watch the video series on how to start a men's team ministry to widows, single moms, and fatherless children in your church.
New Commandment Men's Ministries is dedicated to Jesus Christ, who loved us and gave himself for us, and who gave us the New Commandment where he commands believers to love each other the same way.
Maranatha! Come, Lord Jesus!
