Disciple Making Pathway: The Forge Process
HEAT — The Field: Entry (Mark 1:38)
“Go on to the neighboring villages so that I may preach there too. This is why I have come.” — Mark 1:38
We start by stepping into the “fields” — the neighborhoods, workplaces, schools, parks, and coffee shops God has already placed us in. This is the spark where relationships begin and the fire starts to grow.
Tools We Use:
- OIKOS Map (Relational Network)
- Luke 10: Person of Peace Search
- Care Through Prayer
- Community Prayer Walks
Key Goal:
Identify people open to spiritual conversation and establish entry points for gospel engagement.
HAMMER — The Field: Gospel Sowing (Mark 1:15)
“The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!” — Mark 1:15
The hammer shapes the raw material. At this stage, we proclaim the gospel clearly and simply—breaking through barriers and inviting others to trust in Jesus.
Tools We Use:
- 15-Second Testimony
- 3 Circles Gospel Tool
- Gospel Appointments
- Follow-up Discovery Bible Studies
Key Goal:
Sow the seed of the gospel boldly and invite people to respond.
TEMPER — The Field: Discipleship & Growth (Acts 2:42)
"They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread, and to prayer." — Acts 2:42
Tempering makes the disciple strong. This is where new believers are shaped through Scripture, prayer, and obedience. We gather in homes and everyday spaces to grow together in community.
Tools We Use:
- 7 Commands of Christ
- Discovery Bible Study (DBS)
- Obedience-Based Discipleship
- 3/3rds Group Structure
Key Goal:
Establish strong disciples who obey the Word, love one another, and live out the mission.
SEND — The Field: Leadership Development & Multiplication (Matthew 28:19–20)
"Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations..." — Matthew 28:19
Disciples don’t stay still. We raise up new leaders and send them out to start more groups, plant new churches, and reach new fields. Every believer is a potential multiplier.
Tools We Use:
- Leadership Reproduction Training
- Church Planting Models
- Coaching & Accountability
- Multiplying Disciples and Microchurches
Key Goal:
Equip and release disciples to make disciples and plant churches—locally and globally.
