Belgium-Discipleship

The Discipleship role will work with a holistic church-planting team to create and maintain gospel-driven relationships with an unreached diaspora people group. You will live among them, learn their language, and become part of the community. This will lead to opportunities to evangelize, disciple new believers, and develop and then train church leaders.

The Discipleship role will serve, evangelize, and disciple an unreached diaspora people group with little or no knowledge of the gospel. This role’s mission is to disciple new believers toward Christian maturity, faithfully teaching the Bible in the local language and training them so that they, in turn, can reach out to others.

This role will identify and equip leaders and assist them as they lead their own people in healthy, self-sustaining, and multiplying churches that they will establish within their individual communities.

This position requires a vibrant and dedicated spiritual life characterized by consistent practice of spiritual disciplines. Disciplers need a solid understanding of the Scriptures, the ability to teach and clearly communicate the gospel, and disciple believers to maturity. Patience and dedication are necessary to see new believers grow in their faith.

The ideal candidate will have:

• A BA in Biblical Studies or equivalent experience
• Three (3) years of church leadership experience (preferred but not mandatory)
• Experience with evangelism and discipleship
• A willingness to commit at least five years to the project
• A solid commitment to the spiritual disciplines (i.e., Bible reading, prayer, etc.)
• A commitment to and proficiency in language learning

The Discipler will be part of a collaborative church-planting team, preparing local servant-leaders to establish and lead healthy, self-sustaining, and multiplying churches. They will:

• Live among an unreached diaspora people group, learning their language and culture
• Teach the Bible in formal and informal settings
• Evangelize and disciple the people, making disciples who make disciples
• Identify and equip local leaders to evangelize and disciple their people in a life-on-life manner
• Develop current and future church leaders with Biblical and practical leadership skills
