Section 13: TRAINING LEADERS, Foundation Level 1a

13 1a: Enroll and train leaders using this Paul-Timothy Training Menu

Prayerfully enlist trainees--shepherds or potential leaders only--whom you will mentor.

If you mentor others who are not leaders in the same sessions you lose the pastoral level discipline.
One is a leader only if he is leading — not merely teaching — a flock. This means he is continually helping his people to begin or improve the ministries in this chart, and to start new churches.
If a man begins by shepherding his own family conscientiously, this often grows into a small group (cell). He is probably a potential leader. Keep training him.

Use the Priorities Chart to assess trainees' strengths and help them develop the ministries that God has laid on their heart to do.

Keep track of your trainees' progress. Keep a list of items in this menu that he has finished. Use the Mentoring Progress Chart to discern a trainee's needs, goals and ministry.

For training volunteer workers: Leadership Handbooks of Practical Theology, editor, James D. Berkley, Volume 3, section 24

Verify who are the current small group leaders that want to be coached or mentored.

Who are those that are willing to get others together for discipleship?
Who are those who have led groups in the past and are willing to do so again?
Who are those that have shepherding gifts but have not thought about leading a disciple group in their home?

When you announce your willingness to mentor home group shepherds, some who are not gifted will volunteer to lead a group if you form it for them. Do not do it!

Be available to coach those who are able to draw together a group around them and keep them.
Only help get a group of new people together for a leader who is already well trained and proven.
