MC2 Master Trainers Training
''This guide will help you train proven practitioners to take on a larger role in the training of MC2 trainers. ''

The following schedule will prepare them to use the guide, reinforce the practical ministry skills needed and understand the ministry philosophy of the training.

The schedule looks like this:

Session 1: Our Role

 * Welcome
 * Why are we here, What to expect

The Lord’s heart is for His Kingdom to reign and for His name to be honored over all the earth. When Jesus began His ministry, He had zero disciples but His vision was for the 17,000 people groups on the earth. That is a big vision! His plan to fulfill that vision was to make disciples who could make disciples! One of the most important things we learn from Jesus is that He modeled a life that was focused on the Kingdom of God.

It starts with Jesus’ message, “Repent for the Kingdom of God is near.” (Mark 1:14). He called people to align their thinking and actions to the reign of the King. It was also His stated mission, “I must preach the good news of the Kingdom to other towns too, that is why I was sent.” (Luke 4:43).

As He taught people, they began to ask what the Kingdom of God was like. He told them parables to explain how the Kingdom of God works.

He also imparted a vision to His followers for the task, “the good news of the Kingdom will be preached among all nations, then the end will come (Matthew 24:14). And He gave this command. “Go, make disciples of all nations, baptizing them. . . teaching them to obey all things I’ve given you.”

Another thing we learn from Jesus, was to pray for this Kingdom to come. Let’s read Matthew 6:9-10 together. “This, then, is how you should pray: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.”

As followers of Jesus, our hearts and minds need to align to His heart and mind. You and I are called to pray and work for the continual advancement of God’s Kingdom on earth. You are playing a significant role in reaching your country and expanding the Kingdom to every place so that everyone will have an opportunity to know someone who follows Christ. This week we will train you as an MC2 Master Trainer.

As a Master Trainer, your role is help equip the body of Christ to go into the harvest and establish communities of believers (new churches) who will live transformed lives and who will learn how to go start new communities of believers who learn how to start even more new communities of believers. You will learn how to train MC2 Trainers who will then train church planters in their local areas. You are responsible to ensure that quality training takes place throughout the training and coaching processes. This week we will prepare you for this task.
