Inhaltsangabe

Do you dream about leading a small group where caring, sharing, and learning take place so well that people look forward to coming and participating? Have you prayed about becoming a disciple maker? If so, this concise guide written by the author of From Membership to Discipleship is the answer to your prayers.
A third-generation minister, former chaplain and seminary professor of pastoral care, Thomson K. Mathew has written this guide to help pastors, small group leaders, and Christian educators develop vital skills in Christian caregiving, adult teaching, and disciple making. Pointing out the importance of “high touch” ministry in the high-tech world, Mathew presents valuable insights from the history of small group ministry since the time of Jesus. Crucial information about the stages of life and dynamics of all small groups from the best researchers is presented in simple and understandable language. The logistical questions about “running” a group well are addressed, but the focus of the book is how the group leader can become a caring person, skillful teacher, and effective disciple maker. Mathew does this by sharing sound knowledge about caregiving, healing, adult teaching, and discipleship.
Read this book as a self-learning manual or study it in a group of potential leaders. Newly appointed small group leaders, as well as seasoned ministers, will find valuable information and practical wisdom in this guide to promote caring, healing, discipleship, and spiritual formation in this age of Artificial Intelligence (AI).
