The E2E training weekend will focus on three primary modes of engagement.
As much as possible, E2E seeks to implement MAWL principles in all that we teach (Model, Assist, Watch, Learn).
Jesus told his disciples to "make" disciples. To do that, every disciple must be able to pass on what he or she is learning in ways that empower others to do the same. It is the difference between knowledge based discipleship and obedience based discipleship. Our desire with this training is that there would be a 1:1 ratio among what is understood and what is applied.
Our training also values discovery learning. The Bible is the final authority and is to be held above tradition and opinion. In all we do, we work to point participants to God's word allowing the Holy Spirit to help them discover the truth and how that truth should be applied in their lives.
What to expect
Meals: Our meals will be a variety of eating experiences. Lunch and dinner will be a mix of eating at the training site, at ethnic restaurants and with an immigrant church family. If you have any food allergies we should be aware of, please let us know before the program.
Transportation: Groups will be responsible for their own transportation. When traveling to learning or ministry destinations around town, we will want to travel in groups of 4-5.
Flexibility: Participants will need to come with an attitude of flexibility. We will be eating new foods. We will be interacting with people from other cultures - cultures that may not run on the same time schedule as our own. We will all need to be flexible.
Walking: There will be times when we are out in the neighborhoods walking - perhaps a lot. Bring good walking shoes and adequate clothes for the weather.
Arrival and Departure: Participants should arrive between 8:00am and 8:30am on Friday for Registration. Programing is scheduled to be completed by 3:30pm on Sunday.
Cost: $75 - $150

Session Summaries
Session 1: Taking Your Place in the Story
From Genesis to the prophets, from Jesus to the early church and all the way until today, God's story has been one of a rescue mission to reconcile all people to himself and see His name worshiped by all peoples in all places. And into this narrative, God is inviting his church, everyone who follows Jesus, to play a part. Whether that takes us across the globe or we stay home, the primary issue is discovering our unique role in helping fulfill the Great Commission. Surrendering our own desires and exploring what our unique role might be will be the focus of this session.
Session 2: Islam Through a Missional Lens
There is much we hear about Islam in the news but with this session we want to learn about Islam through a missional lens. We will explore the history and beliefs of Islam and through that discover bridges that will allow us to more effectively love and share the Gospel with Muslims who we meet. This session will provide a framework for digging in and understanding other religious worldviews.
Session 3: 411 Gospel Conversation Training
A recent study found that over 90% of Christians in America do not obey Jesus' command to make disciples. 411 is a simple, reproducible training that equips believers to begin making disciples by answering 4 questions in 1 session on 1 sheet of paper.
This was patterned after Ying Kai & Steve Smith's (T4T) "Why, Whom, How" training. "When" was added to include controllable goals. The goal is to provide a reproducible training for believers to equip others with.
Session 4: Beginning Discipleship
Jesus commanded His disciples to make disciples. Every disciple should be equipped to make disciples, and with this session, we will learn and practice a simple discipleship tool called Discovery Bible Study (DBS) that will allow every follower of Jesus to lead new believers into a life of following Jesus.
Session 5: Becoming a Cross Cultural Ambassador
As Christ calls us to be His ambassador working to reconcile people to God, we will sooner or later find ourselves crossing cultural barriers to share with and disciple people who are from different backgrounds, languages, and worldviews. To do so, Christ's followers need to be equipped with the missionary mindset and the understanding needed to clearly present the gospel to those not like us.

- First will be times of training together in community.
- Second will be experiential learning opportunities out in the community (mosque and temple visits, meals at ethnic restaurants, engagement with immigrant churches).
- The third and final opportunities will be out in the harvest proclaiming the Gospel with Muslims, Hindus and Buddhists and all the people we encounter.

“The Great Commission is for every church in every culture in every generation. There are no exclusions. But . . . every church in every culture in every generation must determine the way in which they respond to this responsibility -- in a way that is appropriate to time and context." -Doug Birdsall |
