Guide
L-10-T Training Guide
L-10-T Training PowerPoint
L-10-T Introductory DVD (with How To) – contains 11
minute L-10-T video with 30 minute “How to”
presentation – all in English, Afrikaans, Russian, Arabic
L-10-T Training DVDs – a set of 4 training DVDs (in
English and Afrikaans) that can be used with the English
or Afrikaans training guide, for group or individual study.
(These will be done much later by the other languages)
Why does L-10-T require
training?
We want everybody to L-10-T!
We must help people to break through the
barrier of change!
L-10-T has to become a lifestyle!
L-10-T training is therefore a serious
activity!
You have to L-10-T so that you
can teach others about L-10-T!
People quickly realise when their trainer is
talking theory only!
It is better to use your own illustrations.
You don’t have to L-10-T out loud in order
to give training and have illustrations!
The battle for training time
Your job as the trainer is to strike the best
possible balance.
The more time you have, the better your
students will do.
The more time you spend on rehearsing
and feedback, the better.
But … never miss a training opportunity
Training guide or manual
Extremely important tool – students can make notes, fill
in missing words and interact with the material.
It is a comprehensive reference guide for the student
Times for interaction (individual contemplation, between
student and trainer, between students and students –
one-on-one or in groups) are clearly indicated –
remember, interaction takes time – especially in a big
group (15+)
Shorter versions are available if people can’t afford the
(already affordable) price of the manual
Using Powerpoint
This is a personal matter for the trainer
It also depends on the availability of
audiovisual equipment
Is there room to use the equipment (e.g. in
a living room)?
Using DVDs
The Introductory DVD (Eng or Afr)
– The 11 minute L-10-T story – a must!
– The 30 minute L-10-T How To video – by way of
introduction if you have the time.
The "A Day in the Life" video clip – excellent for showing
if you have time after teaching Step 3 (in Step 3 of the
set Training DVDs). Only in English
The set of Training DVDs. Excellent if you feel too
inexperienced to teach a full course. Use portions of it as
needed.
The only problem is that it is available in English and
Afrikaans only. Other languages may follow as the need
grows and testimonies arise in those countries.
The Trainer should, for all Units:
Make sure that he/she knows the lesson well.
Try to practise to give a class (even to your
mother or children!) if it is your first time!
Should preferably have had the opportunity to
put the lesson’s contents into practice (or, in the
case of Units 3 and 4, have grappled with Jesus’
commands and the implications thereof)
Plan how you will present it
Allocate your time beforehand!
Know where you want to be at what time, so that
you do not rush and end too early, or go too
slow and have to rush to finish all on time.
Go thoroughly through the unit that you will be
presenting.
If you have the set of training DVDs (Currently
only in English and Afrikaans), we recommend
you go through the applicable unit and listen to
some testimonies.
A few options for structuring the
training:
You present, without PowerPoint or DVD
aids, students have the full training guide.
We strongly recommend that students get
the full training guide – what little money
you save by working without it, is not worth
the injustice to your students
… but: If that determines whether the
training will happen or not – use one of the
cheaper options and DO the training.
More options for training
structure
You present, with PowerPoint and DVD aids,
students have the full training guide. You can
choose which parts of the Training DVD you
want to use in class.
If you are playing the DVD on a computer (in
Windows Mediaplayer or some other software)
you can determine beforehand where the part is
(how many minutes and seconds into the track)
that you want to play. This is more difficult with a
DVD player.
Make sure that you know your equipment,
otherwise you waste valuable teaching time.
More options for training
structure
You present, with PowerPoint and DVD
aids, students have an abridged training
guide (12 or 4 A4 pages).
Students are required to look up Bible
verses in their Bibles (This takes time!)
and they need additional writing paper or a
notebook.
Of course, you can have the Bible
passages on PowerPoint – just make sure
that all the students can see!
More options for training
structure
As the presenter you only play a facilitating role, and use
the complete Training DVD as the "Trainer".
You just play and pause the DVD at the right times,
facilitate discussions and arrange coffee or tea breaks.
This method works well for trainers who are still
insecure.
Make sure you have enough time (or plan in advance
which discussions you are going to skip, in other words,
where you won't pause)!
OR – any other way to present the L-10-T course!
Now let’s look at the salient
training points for each unit
(lesson)
Unit 1: Foreword and How to
Clearly explain to the students how you
are going to work through the training
guide.
Obtain the necessary statistics for Unit 3 if
you plan to use local numbers
Unit 2
Make sure that you do a proper
introduction.
Let the students discuss Luke 10:1-9
thoroughly
Emphasise the fact that the 4 steps are
simply a modern-day interpretation of
Jesus’ commands.
Stress the two criteria: every student
needs to know that he/she can do it.
Unit 2 continued
Check whether all students feel that they meet
the L-10-T qualifications. With some youth
groups and with children it might be good to
make sure everyone has acceted Jesus as
Saviour.
Show the 11 minute L-10-T video on the
Introductory DVD (It is also part of Unit 2 on the
Training DVD set).
Let the students discuss it (usually the L-10-T
video motivates them in no small measure!).
Unit 2 continued
Then, if you have time and if you are doing the training
over several sessions, show the 30 minute How To DVD
(this clip is on the Introductory DVD only, in English and
Afrikaans).
In it Willem Joubert gives a summary of how L-10-T is
used, quoting five Biblical principles, four decisions that
Christians need to make to do L-10-T successfully, and
three action steps to get you started.
It challenges the viewer to start L-10-Ting immediately,
and that is precisely what you’re trying to do at this point!
Unit 2 continued
Why do we want students to start immediately?
– Because L-10-T is something you do,
students need to get started so that they can
realise that it is often more difficult than the 4
easy steps seem.
– It also makes the lessons much more
meaningful for them!
– They learn to return and report back on a
regular basis – for better or for worse! With L10-T success or failure is not important –
every action represents a step forward on the
faith journey.
Unit 3: The Great Commission
Make sure that you know the lesson well and that you
understand it.
Make the statistics applicable to their city and region as
is suggested.
For the questions about how well they are doing, let the
students rate themselves on a scale of 1 to 10, and put
up the corresponding number of fingers.
This lesson should confront the student!
The discussion about how students will tackle
evangelism in their city – and what they will do
themselves - is important. It builds a bridge to L-10-T.
Unit 3 continued
It is critical that students understand that,
as Christians, they are in full-time service
for God – and that their workplace is their
“church”!
It is also important that they get the
concept that – because of the 18
microsteps (and snakes and ladders) –
everyone is an evangelist, whether they
want to be one or not. And now L-10-T
equips them to do it well!
Unit 4
Emphasise the importance of Jesus’ other
commands and ask all students to indicate
with their fingers how they rate themselves
on these:
To follow Jesus
The second Great Commandment
The priority of less privileged people
The first Great Commandment
The convergence of the two Great
Commandments in John 15
Unit 5: Step 1
This is a critical step. Each section needs
to be discussed thoroughly.
Underscore the importance of forgiveness
and make sure that the process has
begun.
Take care to check whether any
participant still finds himself/herself in an
abusive situation. Handle such a person
with great sensitivity and try to get help.
Unit 6: Step 2
Discuss in-depth
Make sure the students identify things they
do that might drive people around them
away from God.
Don’t draw out sensitive detail in public!
Emphasize the fact that some relations
might be long-term – others are built in a
very short time and you might not see the
person again!
Unit 7: Step 3
Explain this step very thoroughly – there are many
subsections that students need to “get”.
Make sure that everybody understands that praying
silently still qualifies as doing L-10-T
The role play where students ask each other what to
pray for should be done by students who knows each
other the least so that they get a good feeling of this
“difficult” step.
It is vitally important that students understand that L-10-T
doesn’t just happen one-on-one, but also one-onorganisations! Some of the biggest L-10-T impacts
happen where individuals start L-10-Ting
organisations!
Unit 8: Step 4
Make sure all students write down their
testimony or reason(s) for believing, and that
they share it with somebody else. Usually it is
quite an eye-opener to listen to others’ stories!
Illustrate the sinner’s prayer to lead someone to
Christ – use the Knowing God Annexure if
necessary.
Ensure that everybody starts their Take 5, and
encourage them to persevere.
Find out which direct evangelism method (EE3,
Evangecube, etc.) the organisation favours
Unit 9: The L-10-T Effect
This lesson is crucial.
Allow Jesus’ reaction to underscore the
importance of L-10-T
Point out the importance of regular
feedback and let the students or
organisation plan ways to go about it: your
objective is for both the individual and the
organisation to achieve a new lifestyle.
Belt and braces
To ensure that L-10-T becomes a lifestyle:
– Use the journal at the back of the training
guide for the first 21 days after training has
ended
– Everyone chooses a “buddy” (groups of two
and three) – they pledge to support each
other for at least 21 months (“Braces”)
– Small group, family or other group can gather
weekly to report back, support and send each
other out. (“Belt”)
Unit 9 continued
It is vitally important to relate everything to
Units 3 and 4.
Usually students are blown away by L-10T’s wide-ranging impact!
Emphasise the effect on an individual, an
organisation (church or business) and a
city/region
It is impossible to place too much
emphasis on how critical this part is in
terms of God’s commandments!
Unit 10: Let’s Go!
It is critical for students to start within 4 days (especially
if the training was a once-off event), and to
continue until
– L-10-T has become a lifestyle
– Let them write down all their plans (12 and 21 month)
or delegate it as an immediate task for the buddies!
Don’t allow anyone to leave the training before he/she is
part of a group plan – and preferably everybody should
have a buddy and a personal implementation plan!
Questionnaires
We use two types of questionnaires (Currently only
availble in English and Afrikaans on request)
– One measures the student’s attitude before and after
the training. It is amazing to see the progress
students make – even for themselves! Do the “Before”
questionnaire directly after Unit 1, and the “After” one
right at the end.
– The other questionnaire measures how students do in
terms of the four steps and several aspects of the
student’s interaction with his L-10-T environment.
This helps trainers a great deal to get to know their
students, and to work out personal L-10-T plans for
them. Do it after Unit 4.
Know your student!
You can greatly multiply the impact you have on
your students if you get to know them
individually (via the questionnaires, but
especially in the classroom) by listening to the
way they respond to individual/group interaction
and their feedback about the practical work.
Your aim should be to help all students to start
L-10-Ting at their level and to persevere, so
that they may begin to experience the Lord’s
blessing on and in their lives!
For organisations or groups
Build L-10-T into the DNA of your group or
organisation, or help your leaders to do it.
If it ends up being just another course that is
completed, never to be mentioned again,
chances are that it will eventually fizzle out in the
group or organisation (no matter how well you
planned in Units 9 and 10).
If regular feedback sessions (e.g. in homecell
groups, during worship services or at regular
meetings) aren’t arranged at organisation level,
they never happen.
For organisations or groups
(continued)
An even better way to do it, is to build it into the
DNA or strategy of the group or organisation and
make it a part of the corporate culture. “L-10-T is
what we do at this church”
It should feature in sermons, have a fixed place
on every committee meeting’s agenda, appear
in the weekly newsletter, etc.
Is it really necessary? If you still don’t believe it
is, go back to Units 3 and 4 and see how L-10-T
meets the need!
What happens after L-10-T?
Be prepared to explain to students what study
opportunities there are once they have mastered L-10-T
(which is only the foundation) (Have a look at the slides
at the end of the PowerPoint presentation):
– Churches, organisations and students can continue
following the menu suggested by the Integrated
Marketplace Transformation Strategy (IMTS)
(www.jwipn.com) and/or
– they can focus inwardly. A course (live presentation)
on walking daily in God's presence is available.
“Going deeper with God”
Our dream for a community,
town or city!
That, as Christians in churches and organisations begin
to L-10T in a community, they will co-operate in
geographic settings and plan together to:
– Make sure that every home, business or organsation
has somebody (step 2) who prays for them (step 1)
regularly (preferably every day); who knows what
their needs are and who prays for them (step 3); who
is prepared to tell about Jesus, or at least to apply
Take Five to the people there (step 4), and
Our dream for a community,
town or city!
– that the people in that home, business or
organisation know who their L-10-T contact is,
and that they have a telephone number/e-mail
address to contact him/her in an emergency.
This is not just a dream – it is possible!
The L-10-T slogan is: LET’S GO!
Let’s go and do it – our part, and see the
mighty things God will do!
The spiritual implication of L-10T
Be prepared to answer questions about
the parts of Luke 10 that aren’t discussed
in the course – especially vs 10-16.
Our L-10-T answer is that those
declarations and mighty consequences
are in the hands of the Lord – we can’t do
anything about them.
However, it does prove that L-10-T makes
a powerful spiritual impact
Luke 10:10-16
10
But when you enter a town and are not welcomed, go
into its streets and say, 11 'Even the dust of your town
that sticks to our feet we wipe off against you. Yet be
sure of this: The kingdom of God is near.' 12 I tell you, it
will be more bearable on that day for Sodom than for that
town. 13 Woe to you, Korazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida!
For if the miracles that were performed in you had been
performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented
long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. 14 But it will be
more bearable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than
for you. 15 And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted up to
the skies? No, you will go down to the depths. 16 He who
listens to you listens to me; he who rejects you rejects
me; but he who rejects me rejects him who sent me.”
Spiritual Impact
One cannot overemphasize the
importance of the spiritual impact of Luke
10:1-24!
Verse 16 shows how serious the Lord is
about what we do in Luke 10
Transformation!
