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 the African Leadership structure and witness firsthand the remarkable impact you all have on the global community. All of our African 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.
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 elevate your status and responsibilities, allowing you to take on more active roles within our ministry and contribute to the greater purpose.
Another opportunity you will get is the option to join one of our special force teams.
This elite group of individuals works diligently to impact lives for Jesus and make a lasting difference in our global community especially in the 10/40 window. What is the 10/40 window? It represents 10 degrees and 40 degrees latitude, that is all of North Africa, Middle East and all Asia countries like India, China and Japan. Two-thirds of the world's population live in these places and this is where our special force team puts a lot of our attention. Joshua Project, a non-profit Christian ministry estimated that 5.11 billion individuals live in this area, representing 8,717 distinct ethnic groups. Three out of every five people in the 10/40 Window have no access to the Gospel and have not been discipled.
Currently, our Special Force Teams consist of the 10/40 Window Team, Translation Team, Prayer Team, Church Planting Team, Spiritual Growth Training Team, Printing Team, T-shirt Team, Certificate Team, Bible Team, Needs Team, Business Team and Social/ Article Team. You will find further details of the teams further in the document.
If you choose to join our Special Force Teams, you will have the ability to reach these people groups for Christ and create multiplication ministries in these parts of the world.
By becoming a member of one or more of our special force teams, you will have the chance to play a more prominent role within our ministry and take part in unique initiatives and projects designed to fulfill our mission.
Through our systems network, you will also learn how to submit requests to receive printing guides and Bibles on a first come first serve basis. These materials are essential to spreading the Word of God and nurturing the spiritual growth of others. We believe in equipping our disciples with the necessary resources to empower them as leaders and spiritual coaches.
Furthermore, as a token of your progress, you will have the opportunity to earn a Natural Discipleship T-shirt.
This symbolic shirt not only serves as a tangible representation of your dedication but also acts as a conversation starter to share your experiences and inspire others to join our Natural Discipleship movement.
To optimize your experience, we will guide you on how to effectively utilize our website nddisciple.com This platform serves as a hub for all our resources and communication channels, enabling you to connect with fellow disciples, access insightful materials, and stay informed about upcoming events.
We are thrilled to have you as part of our Natural Discipleship team and we strongly believe that this journey will transform your life and equip you to impact others. Get ready to embrace growth, expand your horizons, and experience the beauty of spiritual multiplication. Together, we will create a brighter future for our global community and honor God's calling for our lives.
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.
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.
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.
As you progress, earning more shields will unlock opportunities 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.
For more information on shields please see The Plan below to learn how to advance within the system network.
As you progress through our Natural Discipleship Systems Network and achieve the significant milestone of earning your 3rd shield, a new responsibility will present itself. You will be required to submit monthly reports to your coach and your coach will be responsible by sending in your reports as well as their reports to their coach and so on. We consider these reports to be a vital element of our accountability structure, ultimately serving as a platform to celebrate the wonderful works that God is accomplishing within your ministry.
Transparency and sharing our successes, as well as challenges, with the global community is of utmost importance to us. Through these reports, we strive to provide an insider's view of how God is powerfully moving within your personal ministry. Additionally, it serves as an opportunity for the community to uplift you in prayer and gain a deeper understanding of your specific needs. Together, we stand united in advancing God's kingdom.
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.
We encourage you to approach these monthly reports as a time of reflection and a chance to express gratitude for the remarkable ways in which God is working through your ministry. Your input will forge stronger connections among our network, reinforcing our shared commitment to spreading the Gospel and making disciples across the globe.
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.
We sincerely value the importance of providing these resources to our members; however, it is crucial to acknowledge that our funding is limited. We are incredibly grateful for God's provision each month, which enables us to produce the necessary materials. In the event that we have exhausted our resources for the month and are unable to fulfill your order at that time, please be assured that you will be placed on a waiting list. As soon as additional funds become available, you will receive your requested Bibles and/or guides.
In addition to the print copies, we offer our comprehensive
curriculums for free through our dedicated app. This app can easily be downloaded from the App Store, providing you with an alternative means of accessing valuable discipleship resources. Our intention is to foster an environment where you rely on God to supply your needs, rather than solely depending on the resources provided by the Natural Discipleship global community.
At times, you may be required to cover the costs associated with printing guides and obtaining Bibles. In such instances, we kindly ask you to reach out to Patrick Steven, who will assist you in securing the necessary resources at a discounted rate. Prior to any guides being dispatched, it will be necessary to remit payment directly to Patrick's Team. Please keep in mind that we can only offer a maximum of 10 printing guides and/or 10 Bibles at a time, as there are numerous individuals within our community who are in need of these resources.
If you need to purchase your own bibles and need a resource to do so, contact Gatungo and he will help get you the Bible’s you need. Go to our contact list on our website located at nddisciple.com for our leader’s information.
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.
Natural Discipleship is a powerful ministry that equips individuals like yourself with the tools and training necessary to achieve your calling at the highest level. We are here to provide you with unparalleled support and guidance, ensuring you have the resources required for success. If you are currently not being discipled, please reach out to us, and we will gladly connect you with one of our experienced coaches, enabling you to start your personal discipleship ministry.
If you are already undergoing discipleship and have joined this platform with the intention of further expanding your knowledge and skills, we extend a warm welcome. We eagerly anticipate doing ministry with you, as we work together to fulfill our desired mission in seeing the gospel spread throughout the world one disciple at a time.
Take the time to carefully review our plan 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.
Once again, welcome to the Natural Discipleship Systems Network. Let us join hands and change the world for Jesus!
