If you have not been given
instructions as to what to do,
ask a fellow member of the
kingdom of Light.
To work on an intentional
strategy to carry out the
mission of our King in the
fight for the souls of men.
“All authority has been given to Me in heaven
and on earth. Go, therefore, and make disciples of
all nations, baptizing them in the name of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,
teaching them to observe everything I have
commanded you. And, remember I am with you
always, to the end of the age.” —Matthew 28: 18b-20 (HCSB)

The members
already in your class
are not your only
battlefield or
mission!
Our King has given us
a much larger sphere
of influence than we
realize!
Our troops must see that
we believe the King is
in control of the battle.
And that He has placed
the battle for the souls
in our hands.
is for the student who is
not currently in a class or
small group.
The King has given your students
contact points with those students.
They are a small light of hope in that
sphere of darkness . . .
and that is their battleground.
The church building or “Fort” is not where the real
battle takes place. It begins on the field and then
moves to the place the body fellowships, plans
strategy, and worships together.
Just as an effective officer goes into battle with
his troops, so must the
effective leader enter
the turf of the battle
zone, i.e.: wherever
the lost hang out.
Battle Strategy and Training of the Troops
Tip 1: Check out the last paragraph
on page 28 of The 3D Sunday
School book.
How many students should be on your
roll in order to effectively train them to
be Great Commission students
for the King?
What is the challenge
ahead of you in order
to make this happen?
Tip 2: What are the names of three of
your friends you don’t want to die and go
to heaven without?
Pray anonymously for two
months. The King will direct you
how to pray.
Ask your student to ask their friend
“how” you can pray for them. Pray for
another period of time. As
God prompts you, continue
to ask this question throughout the next couple of months.
Ask your student about meeting
their friend face to face. Plan the
meeting.
Meet the lost student. Help your student
watch for signs and evidence that their friend
is open to a full gospel
presentation. Go with
your student and together
share about the King and
kingdom hope.
Tip 3: Build awareness of the Kings’
true purpose for our lives and the life
cycle of a small group or Sunday
School class.
• A new class means more room for
other students . . .
 to be a part of the kingdom
 to be ministered to, and
 to be trained as a disciple to
carry out the kingdom mission
A new class
grows more
quickly than an
older, established
class.
An effective curriculum is
invaluable for training kingdom
members.
Personal preparation helps
should be used to measure
the leader’s own life in light of
the Bible truth for the week.
Using a curriculum that
includes guideddiscovery, activity based
teaching has many
benefits.
Using varied teaching
methods to guide students
to discover truth for
themselves is beneficial in
engaging the multiple
learning intelligences of
students.
Curriculum should
position the meat of the
lesson around Scripture.
Group 1. Group 2. Group 3.
What’s in
this for
me?
What do I
need to do
to be a real
member of
this class?
Do I really
belong?
do I need to do
to grow?
is your main motive
or mission in
Sunday School?
Luke 15
The Woman swept . . .
The Shepherd searched
for the one . . .
and the Father watched
diligently.
is that student the
King is seeking out
and asking you to
join Him in the
search?
is that fellow kingdom
member that the King
wants to join you…
be trained by you…
so that he or she can
become the leader of the
new class to be born?
