WHAT ARE 419 GROUPS?

In short, 419 Groups are simple and collaborative, and it does not require anyone to teach. It merely creates opportunities to follow the ways of Jesus with others. You lead out of obedience in how the Lord leads you personally and love the people in your group as they do the same.

WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW?

You dont need a formal religious education or even need a wealth of church knowledge. A simple step of obedience and love of Gods Word is all you really need. We have put together a simple guide that explains what a meeting might look like.

HOW DO I GET STARTED?

First, pray! Ask God to reveal the people in your sphere of influence that are from Him. The Lord needs to lead this movement. Next, check out this facilitator’s guide An invitation to disciple-making. We developed this guide with you in mind, and it is a great place to learn about relational disciple-making.

– Discipleship is all about relationships; starting with friends is great and could take your friendship to new levels.

– Jesus modeled ministry with relationships. There are way more personal conversations than sermons in the Gospels.

– Start praying for your friends and acquaintances now to see if some of them may want to join you in disciple-making.

Family

– Mom and dad can lead the family in a 419 group.

– The questions are simple enough for kids to enjoy and learn as well, but make it fun and engaging for them.

– Invite extended family if they are in town to participate.

– Use ZOOM to include family members that live far away if that would be good for your family.

Neighbors

– Jesus told his disciples to love your neighbor as yourself.

– Focus on ways to build trust with your neighbors, including letting them help you.

– Express your need for a close group of neighborhood friends. They need it too, but they want a real relationship with you. No one wants to feel like a project.

– The perk of a neighborhood 419 group is the short commute.

School

Invite friends and classmates to join your 419 group.

– Determine if the best time to meet is before or after school? On campus or off?

– Our students deal with lots of challenges on a week-to-week basis. Many would be interested if a friend invited them to a group to share their life and study the life of Jesus.

– We believe this generation of students is ripe for revival, but not necessarily through pastors. It will likely be through their peers.

Work
