Disciple-Making Lab Cohort 2 – Weekend 1

The Disciple-Making Lab is a two-day event run by Kairos Connexion and GEM (Greater European Mission) in partnership with Jeff Vanderstelt, executive director and founder of Saturate.

Saturate seeks to equip the Church, God’s people, to make Jesus known in the places we live, work, learn, and play so that every woman, man, and child would have repeated opportunities to meet Jesus.

The Disciple-Making Lab leads to each church represented creating their own bespoke contextualised disciple-making pathway, where disciples who make disciples are formed.

At this year's Lab, your team will:

• Clarify and unify around your shared definition of a disciple.
• Cultivate a church-wide culture for disciple making.
• Design, build, and implement a disciple-making pathway for your church.
• Create tools, strategies, and processes to equip everyday disciples in your church.

James Earnshaw, leader of City Church Liverpool, attended our inaugural DML in June. He said: "As a pastor, I know that one of my main responsibilities is to make disciples who go on to make disciples, but knowing how to build that into the life of a whole church is a real challenge. 

"I have never felt that I have done this particularly effectively, nor have I often seen it modelled clearly, which is why the depth of the Disciple Making Lab and the experience Jeff and his team bring is so exciting. We are only a quarter of the way through, but our church leadership is already deeply encouraged by what God is showing us through the process."

The two-day event is the first step in a 10-month journey, followed by monthly, three-hour Zoom sessions packed full of teaching, guided reflection, exercises, discussion, and more.

There will be three sessions over the two days.

Day 1, Friday January 15th: 10am - 4pm; 7-9pm
Day 2, Saturday January 16th: 9am - 1pm.
