Coaching
Coaching Purpose
The purpose of coaching is to help you achieve the vision that God has given you in the area of church-planting and disciple-making. Church-planting coaching is essentially biblical discipleship towards the goal of igniting a church-planting movement; to see the rapid and exponential multiplication of disciples making disciples and churches planting churches among a given people group or population segment.
Coaching Process
To begin, the coach and coachee(s) will meet (In-Person, Audio/Video Call) at least once a week for about an hour. The coachee will implement agreed upon action plans during the week. The meeting frequency can be reduced over time to an as needed basis.
