Essentials
In this section you find the "essential" resources which are frequently needed for discipleship training.
First training lessons
God's Story
This first lesson contains a summary of God's plan and what he wants from us. Use it as the first training lesson for a new believer immediately so that he can really understand the meaning of his decision and also learns how to explain it to others.
Baptism
Use this lesson for baptism preparation. In the Bible we see that people get baptized quickly after their decision. You can use this lesson immediately after the first lesson or at any other point in the training process.
Prayer
As the second lesson this gives a basic understanding of our communication with God. Go through it and don't forget to practice the different types of prayer when you're training someone!
Forgiving Step by Step
Summary on forgiveness: What does forgiving mean, how do we do it and how do we help others in that process.
Confessing Sins and Repenting
Summary on repentance: How do we confess sins and turn away from them?
Time with God
God wants to teach us. We need to learn how to spend time with him and learn from him. This lesson explains how to do this and shows some examples from people in the Bible about their time with God.
Hearing from God
God wants to speak to everyone. But how can we hear from Him? This lesson explains the different ways God communicates with us and how to discern His voice.
Church
We're not alone. Together with other followers of Jesus we form a community or fellowship. This lesson explains what church is and does.
Healing

Also it explains important principles on how we can deal properly with money: How to be fair with it, how to use it, and how to share it.
