Relationship
trust
is built by
informal contact
outside of the formal meeting. Phone calls, breakfasts, lunches, socializing and serving together connect people at a deeper level.
Be bold and creative. Let your imagination entertain the opportunities to do life together.
Here are some of the things I have done with those I have discipled.
day trips
sporting events
hunting trips
concerts
golfing
building a playhouse
traveling together to visit friends
free events in your community
helping your community
The more time you can spend outside your formal meeting the better.
I know this sounds easy and obvious. But, when is the last time you spent time (outside of class) with someone you are discipling? What do you normally do that you could invite someone to do with you? It takes intentional planning to pull this off.
