These plans are designed to guide you in Spiritual Multiplication, that is, equipping you to imitate Jesus, who invested deeply in a few and taught them to do the same, imparting a faithfulness and fruitfulness capable of reaching this generation with the Gospel. These plans aim to help the discipler and disciple determine the next best step toward Spiritual Multiplication.

Please note, these plans present an ideal timeline. They should be used intentionally and with prudence, recognizing that the ideal is not always possible. These plans should be owned by the discipler to aid in their intentional preparation for discipleship, but these plans can and should be shown to the disciple also. The plans should be discussed by both discipler and disciple and tailored to the needs of each individual.

This plan is designed to form disciples in the habits of the Christian life (see Acts 2:42) and to prepare them for Christ’s mission. It should begin immediately after someone accepts the Gospel, in the first week of the Growing Discipleship stage. As a reminder, you should share the Gospel, ideally within 1-2 weeks of a Bible Study participant attending study four times.

This plan is time bound, having a clear beginning and end. Ideally, it should be completed in 12 weeks. Please consult your discipler if the plan is advancing significantly faster or slower than this pace. At the end of the plan, the disciple should either transition to Commissioned Discipleship or another appropriate form of ongoing accompaniment, depending on the disciple’s needs.

This plan is designed to form disciples in living Christ’s mission (see Mt 28:18-20). It is for those who are FACT and have
accepted the High Call as well as the specific commitments of Commissioned Discipleship. It should begin after the High Call is accepted AND the disciple is determined to be FACT. Before commissioning, please consult the High Call resources to appropriately discern when and how to commission a disciple.

This plan shows the first 14 sessions of Commissioned Discipleship, which should continue indefinitely, even after those sessions are completed. Additionally, the commissioned disciple may start a Bible study as early as is appropriate, though a Bible study should begin within 8 weeks.
