DMM: Coaching Questions for Heart and Four Fields: Reproduce Evangelism

Reproduce Evangelism (Finding Those Whom God is preparing)

Coaching Questions:

• What are your “go-to” scriptural passages which keep you rooted in trusting God to lead you to Persons of Peace? 

• How do you start spiritual conversations? How might the Holy Spirit be leading to engage others in spiritual conversations?

• What is your plan for “going?” 

• Who are you going with? 

• What does “speaking peace” look like in your context? 

• How do you “listen” and “look” with God’s ears and eyes for people whom He is drawing? 

• How do you recognize a person of peace? 

• If someone seems spiritually hungry/open, what is your next question to them? 

• How might you increase your focus to reach an oikos? 

• Describe your approaches to trusting God to find persons of peace? 

• How many of my UPG/population segment will hear the good news today? 

• Reread John 6:42-44. Is it more about the messenger than the message when I go? 

• Describe how your “stuff” is interfering when you go out looking for POPs? What might you need to change in the way you present yourself, what you bring, etc., to clear a path for the good news? 

• Learn to talk with unbelievers from your focus group about felt needs among individuals and communities. Learn to verbalize (in the focus language) appropriate spiritual comments to see if you could find spiritually open people (persons of peace, Luke 10:6). Enter deeper conversations with focus people who seem spiritually open, to ask if they would be willing to gather their family and/or friends to study the Holy Book. Though not limited to but certainly consistent with patterns observed in how the Holy Spirit brings the launch of movements, how often are you trusting the HS to use the following filters for finding persons of peace? 

o Shema statements and shema actions (Deut. 6:1-9)

o Patterned lifestyle of shema as well as intentional going out o Learn to identify yourself as follower of Jesus in context appropriate ways

o Personal story of God’s story in your life using contextual language (2 minute version) o Oral Stories of Jesus: felt needs (memorize in local language one Jesus story) o Creation to Christ

o Prayer for blessing using contextual language: e.g. finances, personal needs, family, pregnancy, infertility

 

• Practice transition sentence(s) to offer the Core Set stories…practice to facilitate a Discovery Group while transitioning after max 4 times as facilitator, continue coaching the indigenous facilitator 

• How do I tend to or not tend to settle for individuals because groups are harder to reach in your experience? Describe your approach to “shaking the dust off your feet”. 

• Two most difficult key transitions in CPM implementation: 

1. Transitioning from great tools and spiritual conversations into a clear simple sentence to invite the POPs and their households/groups to meet for the first story of Discovery Bible Study story set.

 

2. For CPM catalyst to transition out of the Discovery Group and to continue equipping the inside facilitators. Usually past four times of outsider/near neighbor person being in Discovery Group, will kill reproducibility as well as ability for the DG to learn and obey the Word of God.

How intentionally are you modeling in the coaching of the facilitation of the DG the reproducibility to become harvested-harvesters? Or, is what you are doing creating a group of dependent-dependers as they press into the Word?

 

• How can I find those folks who naturally love to share or who are natural servants and train them in Luke 10 principles?

 

• Describe examples you have of natural and creative ways to pray for the lost?

 

• In what ways am I trusting God to move/work in miraculous ways? Describe how am I going in His authority?

 

• What examples from Scripture come to mind as ways to look in places where people naturally gather?

 

• In what ways am I presently listening to God to discern if He is drawing this person?

 

• Describe typical ways which I tend to get “distracted on the road” by others and not stay focused on finding those God-prepared people? How do my local partners tend to get “distracted on the road?”

 

• Reread Luke 10, Matthew 10. What are the indications of types of people whom Jesus sends them to find? (How are you modeling being deliberate in looking for households of peace, versus individuals?) What are the biggest hindraces you are finding with your local partners and their focus on looking for households of peace versus settling for individuals?

 

• Based upon specific Holy Spirit led action steps in the area of reproduce evangelism, how well would you say you are progressing? Share an example where you followed through and saw the Lord’s empowerment to do so. What is the greatest hindrance for your local partners and new local leaders to stand firm in reproduce evangelism (looking for POPs)?

 

• What do you need to “stop doing”, and/or “start doing” in order to be more intentional in going out among the lost? In taking others with you?
