GET STARTED

Welcome to our transformative Natural Discipleship Global Systems Strategy Network (GSSN)! We are excited to have you join our journey of spiritual growth, equipped with a deep understanding of our systems and how our ministry's multiplication network functions.

Throughout these pages, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of our Leadership structure and witness firsthand the remarkable impact you all have on the global community. All of our leaders embody a unique perspective and wisdom that plays a pivotal role in your ministry's success. Be prepared to be inspired by your dedication, passion, and unwavering commitment to furthering the Kingdom of God.

WHAT IS EXPECTED?

We are thrilled to have you on board with Natural Discipleship Systems Network and look forward to embarking on a transformative journey together. As a member of our network, we expect you to align with our vision and approach to ministry, fostering a like-mindedness and dedication to spreading the Gospel.

MULTIPLYING DISCIPLES

In order to make the most of your membership, it is imperative that you actively engage in multiplying disciples and remain well connected with your coach. Your coach will serve as a valuable resource, guiding and supporting you throughout your discipleship journey. Additionally, we expect you to possess an unwavering passion for reaching the lost, as this serves as the core of our mission.

F.A.T. CHRISTIAN

To thrive within our network, you’ll need to have access to the internet and have an email. It’s also essential that you embody what we refer to as a "FAT Christian" - faithful, available, teachable. Maintaining these characteristics, you’ll cultivate an intimate relationship with Jesus, which is foundational for leading others to Him. We encourage you to shed any cultural religious practices you may have accumulated and focus on fostering a relationship, rather than merely practicing religion. The Keys to Being Set Free curriculum, undertaken with your coach, will greatly assist in discerning and understanding these differences.

EARN SHIELDS

As a disciple, you will have the opportunity to earn shields, symbolizing your growth and progression within the ministry. These shields act as milestones in your spiritual journey, representing the knowledge and wisdom you acquire along the way. Each shield earned will give you more opportunities within the ministry, and more responsibilities. Allowing you to take on more active roles and contribute to the greater purpose. See Shields below

JOIN SPECIAL FORCE TEAMS

If you are dedicated to being the best disciple maker, you will be given an opportunity join our special force teams. These teams participate in committees, access advanced resources, qualify for potential sponsorship, and deepen their faith in a Christ-centered community. Ask your coach how to get involved!

Special Force team members work hard to earn more shields that can lead them to potentially become a sponsored disciple. This means that your discipleship ministry may be financially supported by donors within our global community. Please note that sponsorship is not guaranteed, and your motivation for ministry should never hinge on the possibility of sponsorship. Your decision to join the Natural Discipleship Network affirms your commitment to the worldwide discipleship movement and your belief in the calling upon your life to fulfill the great commission.

ACCOUNTABILITY

As you progress through our Natural Discipleship Systems Network and earn your 3rd shield, you'll gain the responsibility of submitting accountability reports to your coach. This is a chance to share what God is doing in your ministry, while also helping our corporate sponsors understand your journey and consider sponsoring you.

We recognize the immense value in fostering a culture of accountability, celebration, and support. By reporting regularly, we are able to celebrate your victories, identify areas where additional support may be required, and offer relevant prayers to uplift you on your journey. Your contribution to this endeavor will undoubtedly inspire and encourage others within our global community.

ORDERING OPPORTUNITIES

As you advance in your discipleship journey and successfully attain your third shield, we are excited to offer you the opportunity to order essential resources through our nddisciple.com website. On this platform, you can access printing of the student guides, other curriculum and Bibles on a first-come, first-serve basis. To ensure a smooth ordering process, please carefully follow the instructions outlined on the website, allowing your order to be efficiently processed.

When funds are tight due to our monthly budget, you may need to cover some costs for printing guides and obtaining Bibles. In these cases, please reach out to our Administrator, Annie, for assistance in securing discounted resources. You can also contact her on WhatsApp at +265992291848 for help with purchasing Bibles and printed curriculum guides.

REVIEW OUR SYSTEM

Take the time to carefully review our website and shields system to gain a comprehensive understanding of how you can grow within our global discipleship network. We believe in your potential and are excited to witness your journey unfold.

Our ultimate goal is to ensure that everyone within our network has access to the valuable tools and materials they need for their discipleship journeys. By working together and navigating these logistical considerations, we can better support one another and grow in our faith.
