…the worker at www.Paracletos.org who sent a gift of $50 in the name of Jesus to help unreached people groups all over the world by speeding Brigada along to thousands of screens each week to provide motivation, information, trends, and resources to accelerate the Great Commission. We appreciate you!

Or do you simply keep leading the person(s) through Discovery Bible Studies (DBSes) or three-thirds groups, as some people call them? For example, see the topics/scriptures for future three-thirds groups in the back of the Guidebook, here…

What’s your typical approach and how are you liking it? How’s it working? We ask because — it’s become a bit of a crunch point for certain disciple makers. Some have said, “How can disciple making movements ever grow deep disciples without a seminary or curriculum or Bible college? What’s your take on it all?

This is an exciting development that didn’t exist in this format previously. So glad it’s available now!
4) Zume Project Designers: We Like What You’ve Done to the Place
Well the elves behind
have been at it again. In a remake of their page, they’ve added new capabilities and a ton of improvements for participants. If you haven’t stopped by ZumeProject and you’re wondering what it’s all about, look no further than the entire May/June edition of Mission Frontiers here…
http://www.missionfrontiers.org/pdfs/39-3_Issue_5-6.pdf
In a nutshell, Zume is an online training and coaching service designed to help you become a disciple worth multiplying, help you acquire and implement the skills and life practices to make disciples who make disciples. It’s designed (in this phase) for a North American audience — but future phases will address (first of all) 34 different language groups, then (literally) district-level contexts in all 4000 different zones of the planet. Having watched these Zume groups at work on a personal level, we can now say with a high level of confidence that this system, if implemented as directed, really, really works. If you haven’t tried it, please give it your best and check it out. You’ll need a group of 4 people to get started. You WON’T need your Visa card. Zume is free.
5) Great News: Laptop Bans Dropped from Two More Airplanes
Well it’s great news all the way around that laptop bans were dropped from two more airlines this past week. This is great news because, a) yes, now we can be productive while flying again, but even more importantly, of course, b) the threat level is being mitigated by some stepped-up anti-terrorism practices. Either way, we’re thankful. Learn more at articles like this one…

6) Hats off to Gmail for Ending Ad-Targeting Email Scans
After all this time… Thank you Google for ending all the trolling of personal emails. Google has now pledged no longer to read Gmail users personal inboxes. Yay! You’re free at last.
