Discipleship Training

We want to help you discover skills for representing SOM International and inviting others to serve the Persecuted Church. Discipleship training equips you to pray alongside and serve the Global Church right where you are. Global Ambassador Kyle’s personal story demonstrates the benefit of workshops.

Kyle took his first Discussion Discipleship Method (DDM) workshop in 2021. His group leader, David Witt, was immediately struck by his poise, delivery, and attention to detail. David’s feedback that weekend was short and to the point: Good accuracy, listening, and teachable. Growth area: practice to enhance boldness!

Taking the advice to heart, Kyle didn’t just attend workshops; he embraced the DDM process as a way of life. Kyle practices DDM in his personal Bible study, church teaching, and daily interactions and adventures, including hiking the Grand Canyon with family.

Kyle’s dedication and faithfulness led to more excellent service. He has served on international DDM teams, equipping church planters in other nations with practical skills. His efforts have not only honed his own teaching skills but also empowered international leaders who risk much for Jesus.

The Nuts and Bolts of Discipleship

Simon the Pharisee was horrified. He had invited Jesus into his home. The woman, a notorious sinner, had just poured oil on Jesus’ feet and was making a fool of herself. Instead of rebuking her, Jesus told a story and asked a question about two debtors.

“Tell me, Simon, which debtor will love the creditor more?” (Luke 7:36–50)

Jesus told a story and asked a question to teach God’s truth. At SOM International, our discipleship workshops teach you to do the same.

What a Discipleship Workshop Teaches:

  • Foundational discipleship principles
  • The biblical basis for the discipleship process
  • The Wise Counselor illustration as a model for inductive Bible study

You can attend a scheduled workshop, or you might choose to host a workshop at your location. Host or Attend a Workshop
