Hello!

If you are looking at this page, that means your campus ministry group is hoping to utilize these digital SICM resources to help train up disciple makers on your college campus!  We could not be more excited to partner with you to that end!

One of the things Jesus was really great at, was preparing the next generation of disciples. 

Our hope for your community, as you engage with these materials, is that students would have real encounters with Jesus. They would be open to his shaping and maturing work in their lives. They would feel scripture come alive to them in new and deeper ways and feel equipped to study the Bible on their own.  And that they would continue forward with Jesus - equipped and eager to be disciples, who make disciples, that make disciples.

On this page you will find:

• Payment Information

• Small Group Leader Podcast

• SICM Session Recordings, Listening, Facilitator, Worship, and Evangelism Guides

These digital resources are designed for you to use locally with a hybrid mixture of recorded teachings and locally facilitated ministry experiences, discussions and labs. This can be in a gathering over the course of a couple of days or remotely and digitally over the course of the summer.  You can interact with them in whatever way is most helpful for your community.

I would recommend using the Small Group and Evangelism series in their entirety. I would also recommend previewing the videos before watching them with your community.  Many of them have recommended pauses throughout for discussion, times to process, or watch a separate video.  Knowing when those are and what they are about will help you plan for the time.

Throughout the material you will also find 4 types of guides - listening, facilitator, worship, and evangelism.  Below is a brief explanation of each.

Listening Guides:
These are outlines for note taking during the videos and discussions.  

Facilitator guides:
A couple of the sessions are shorter and include an interactive element. The facilitator guides are designed to help a campus pastor look over the material and then facilitate an activity or discussion themselves.

Worship guides:
We encourage beginning your time together in worship and praise of God. To help with that, we’ve compiled outlines and activities from some of our favorite times of worship together during SICM. These can be easily modified to suit your ministry’s ability and needs. We have also included a worship night guide that’s geared towards prayer for the Baptism of the Holy Spirit.  If this is helpful to you, please use it!

Evangelism guides:
A big part of our conference is spending a day going out to do evangelism. For many students, this is one of the first times they have intentionally tried to share Jesus with others! We know each campus has a unique situation with what is and is not allowed on their campus this year, so we’ve included a guide for how to facilitate on-campus evangelism if that is possible for you, along with a couple of ideas if on-campus evangelism is not possible.

We are praying for your communities, that God would continue to raise up disciple makers and leaders. That students would leave your times together feeling more empowered and equipped to participate in the Great Commission. I look forward to celebrating with you all the ways God will work in and through this time and your communities in the days, weeks and months to come.

Blessings,

The Way of Jesus

Geoff Mumley

Part 1

It is no surprise that our relationships influence us more than anything else in life. So is it any wonder that the way Jesus made disciples was primarily relational?

Part 2

It's also true that making disciples simply doesn't happen by accident, especially if we're supposed to teach others how to do it! So is it any surprise that Jesus was so purposeful, and that everything He did was so repeatable?
