    About this ebook

    Christianity is loosing ground every year. As the population grows worldwide, the percentage of evangelical Christians diminishes. What if there could be a way to reverse this trend and get both leaders and laypeople back out in the field to be servants? That is the purpose of Servanthood Missions Training, to help train God’s people to be servants again – locally, nationally, and worldwide.

      Foreword

      According to a 2018 study conducted by the Barna Group and the Seed Company (Translating the Great Commission), 51 percent of churchgoers do not know the term Great Commission. This is a staggering number. The study was very revealing as well as troubling. A decline in Great Commission education within local churches over the last several decades has produced believers who have a limited understanding of biblical missions. Such a decline has also produced believers who do not understand the panoramic view of God’s self-revelation from eternity past to eternity future as well as not understanding their place in God’s redemptive story. We are now dealing with, and have dealt with in the recent past, the results of a lack of proper biblical teaching on the Great Commission. There are specific examples of such Great Commission education taking place, but it is rather isolated while the majority of churches do not emphasize or provide such basic biblical discipleship. Such a reality is evidenced in the findings of the 2018 study.

      As our churches engage with an ever-changing culture, we need practical training manuals, which assist us to meet the challenges we face. Servanthood seeks to reverse the downward spiral of biblical ignorance and preparedness our churches are experiencing. The materials you are about to study will assist you and you church as active participants in Christ’s command to make disciples of all people groups. Servanthood is a practical training manual. Its goal is to aid any individual, congregation or organization to get to the next level in Gospel advancement. Servanthood will refocus you, from your current level of Gospel engagement to where you should be. You are about to study a planned approach, which covers a wide variety of preparation topics.

      Don Jeffreys is a trusted minister of the Gospel with many years of faithful service. Servanthood is the result of Don taking on a new challenge as Mission Pastor and not finding specific training materials. What Don has prepared is a well thought out manual with great advice and information. Any individual, church or organization will benefit from this tremendous resource.

      To Pastors and mission Leaders:

      I highly recommend Don Jeffreys and the Servanthood study to you. I met Don in 1990, since that time we have become good friends. He and his church helped me and my church many times through the years.

      In 2012, Don joined our staff as pastor of Missions and Senior Adults. When he came on board, we were averaging 2,000 attendees in two worship services, but there was very little going on in the way of missions. Currently, we have approximately 4,000 members, two campuses, four worship services, one in Spanish, and a growing interest following with 300 to 500 viewing our services online each week. Last year we had over 100 candidates for baptism and this year we adopted for the first time a four-million-dollar budget. We believe a significant part of God’s blessings and our growth is due to our mission’s ministry.

      When Don joined our staff, ten per cent of our members were involved in mission work. Now, seven years later, over 40 per cent of our members are involved in some kind of mission work—locally (our Jerusalem), statewide (our Judea), across America (our Samaria) and in seven countries throughout the world. We have over 35 mission ministries where our people are
