Discipling My Neighborhood Workbook (Discipled Nation Plan Curriculum)

A Discipled Nation Plan Curriculum is innovative bible study material for small groups and Sunday school classes. These materials are based upon The Discipled Nation Plan. The four Discipled Nation Plan Workbooks include 40 "knowing & doing" sessions in the areas of discipling self, family, congregation, and neighborhood. A leader’s guide and pastor’s guide are provided for each of the four workbook areas.

After one class, you will see that this curriculum is unique:
•It follows a plan. A Discipled Nation Plan is a logical approach to making disciples-- first by discipling self, then family, congregation, and neighborhood. By following the plan, this easy-to-use curriculum teaches Christians at all levels the essentials of being and making disciples.
•It is practical. The studies and activities are practical applications of faith. The 40 lessons are short and targeted on specific discipling issues, and the supporting daily applications and devotionals, known as “Daily Challenges,” present brief real-life opportunities to learn and grow.
•It encourages discussion. The materials are designed for significant group participation, taking the focus off of the teacher and placing it the student. As participants share their experiences in discipling, you will want to extend the time allowed to cover all of the material because of the inspired class discussion.
•It gets people to practice their faith. Each session has 6 Daily Challenges specifically designed to get participants to disciple in their daily lives. They give achievable goals that provide perspective and a basis for spiritual growth.
