Master the basic art of disciple-making, as Jesus and His apostles practiced it, before spending a lot of time and money on more sophisticated forms of educating leaders. This is not to disparage the more sophisticated forms, but to assure that you and your disciples do the following:

• Master the fundamentals of mentoring,
• Practice the New Testament model, which requires very little money, is easy to imitate and pass on, for a chain reaction, to mobilize many leaders and multiply churches or home groups,
• Lay a foundation for more sophisticated forms of ministry; once these basics are mastered, it is safe and desirable to use other modern, culturally relevant, reproducible training methods.

Search out in the Pastoral Epistles 1 & 2 Timothy, Titus Paul's attitude toward those he mentored. Find also how he exercised authority, gave advice and how he responded to known situations. Note things that he expected his former apprentices to do.
