ASSIGNMENT AND TRAINING OF CO-WORKERS||同⼯崗位的安排與培訓

FACILITATORS:

  • As the design of TG is to disciple Christian men and women in separate groups, it is necessary to appoint a facilitator for each men and women "Large Group Time" (see Section I and Section II of TG Workbook)
  • We would recommend the pastors or lay-leaders like elders or deacons to be the facilitators for each group.
  • The facilitators are there mainly to invite the participants to share what the Holy Spirit has convicted them during the week's Devotional and Assigned homework. Detailed questions for such a purpose can be found in the above-mentioned sections. The facilitators can simply use those questions to monitor their sharing and modify them as needed.
  • While this eliminates or at least cuts down on the preparation of the facilitators, they are expected to do the homework/assignments themselves during the week as well.


SMALL GROUP LEADER(S):

  • We recommend that each small group should consist of 3-6 persons and a more mature Christian should be appointed to be the small group leader who should lead the "Small Group Time" according to the instructions in Section III of the TG Workbook.
  • Again, all the suggested questions are listed, and the small group leader's job is simply to facilitate the sharing, without dominating the sharing of discussion.
  • It is important that the "Accountability Check-list" is used for every session which is the core element of TG's success. We encourage you to ask the first three questions every week, while allowing the group members to pick another question to be held accountably for each different week.
  • Enough time should be allowed for intercession.
  • Helpful guide to common small group leadership skills can be found online, like https://malphursgroup.com/how-to-lead-a-small-group
  • It is important that the small group leaders pray for their small group members each week.


DUTY ROSTERS:

⸺Per Section I of TG Workbook

Please note that each week will begin with having:

  • One participant to share his/her conversion testimony
    • This is done to help the facilitator to ensure that he or she is really born-again;
    • It is also a useful training for them to learn how to share their testimony with non-believers, and
    • A very helpful challenge to others in the group that might not be too sure of their salvation.
  • One participant to pray for the one who just shared his/her testimony:
    • This is done to help train praying in public, and
    • To learn to pray for one another.

Thus, the facilitators should draw up a duty roster and pre-assign the above two duties.


QUIZ MASTER:

  • After the two have shared and prayed, a Quiz Master should be assigned to quiz the participants about the assigned memory verse for the week,
  • Though he/she should take this task seriously, it does call for creativity and make it fun, and
  • Such a task is normally assigned to one person throughout the course, but can be split between two or more people.
  • Sample of Scripture Memory Cards can be found on RESOURCES.

合班的領導⼈ (Facilitator)

  • ⼈選:最適合的⼈選是教會的牧者, 不但是因為他們已接受過神學的訓練,更因為他們的參與使這課程能配合教會整體的事⼯,⽽⾮獨⽴的事⼯。靈裡成熟,謙卑的平信徒領袖當然也可以作帶領者。
  • 責任:因為課程本⾝已有充⾜的材料,所以合班的時段主要⾮作教導之⽤。帶領者主要是按課程合班時間(即「合班分享、討論」)的提⽰,帶領組員輪流分享。最基本的預備乃在乎帶領者⾃⼰先做好該周的功課和靈修。請注意,除需遵守所規定的時間外,要帶領組員集中分享該周聖靈的提醒,⽽⾮分享⼼得。要常問:「這個星期,聖靈藉著(指定讀本、輔助⽂選或講道信息)對你有什麼的提醒呢?」

⼩組組⾧ (Small Group Leaders)

  • ⼈選:靈裡成熟,謙卑的平信徒均可。
  • 責任:負責帶領「⼩組時間」。除先做好該周的功課和靈修外,不⽤作什麼的準備(註⼀),主要是按課程「⼩組時間」的提⽰,帶領組員輪流分享和彼此代禱。要好好運⽤時間,絕不要忘記開始時的「承擔與交代」和結束時的「彼此代禱(註二)」,因為這是這⾨訓課程成敗的關鍵。

帶領合班或⼩組的技巧

  1. 請緊記這課程是在乎給予組員藉每周的課前準備去親近神,和作反思,從⽽讓聖靈有機會作教導和提醒。故此,在合班和⼩組的時間,絕⾮去教導別⼈或發表意⾒的時刻。組⾧或領導者是在這⽅⾯作引導和⿎勵,並⾮教導。⾯帶笑容,和藹的態度,是叫組員知道你的關⼼和肯定,以致更容易作出真誠、坦⽩的分享。
  2. 若有組⾧坦⽩承受沒有做⾜功課,不要加以責難,該邀請其他組員⼀起與該組員分析怎樣能幫助他/她作更好的時間安排,以致下周有所改善。按以往的經驗,如果有組員願意每周撥出時間與該組員⼀起預備,或在⼀兩天前致電(郵)提醒,皆是可⾏的⽅法。在⼩組代禱時間特別為他/她禱告也是重要的。
  3. 離題-若有組員的分享:
    • 內容與題⽬無關,或⽼是提到陳年舊事,帶領者或⼩組組⾧可以溫柔的插⼊說:「謝謝你的分享,⾮常好;待⼀息間,在我們分享完今天的問題後,若有時間,再請你繼續分享這件事/題⽬。」
    • 內容雖與題⽬無關,卻是分享緊急、重要的事-如剛被解僱,家⼈病危或死亡等,則應讓他/她詳述,並⼀起⽴刻為他/她禱告。
    • 在⼤發議論:對,分享應集中在聖靈如何在該周的提醒,但分享個⼈的感受是難免的,但若然主要的分享是在乎發表意⾒的話,帶領者或組⾧應帶著溫柔的提醒全體:「謝謝各⼈的意⾒/分析,讓我們先集中在個⼈被聖靈的提醒和領受⽅⾯的分享。」
  4. 與聖經真理有衝突的分享:
    • 如果是明顯的與真理相違的,該⽤愛⼼說誠實話,溫柔的勸導和指出其錯誤。
    • 如果是較複雜的釋經或應⽤的問題,如果帶領者⾮牧者,也沒有⽴刻的答案,可說:「讓我請教牧者(或參考某些書籍),下次再澄清這⼀點。」
  5. 其他⼀般要避免的⽑病包括:
    • 不要在別⼈分享後加以評論
    • 不要單以⽬光集中在⼀兩個⼈⾝
    • 容許⼀兩個組員佔據了⼤部份分享的時間
    • ⾃⼰領先分享有引發的作⽤,但在組員彼此熟悉後,應⿎勵他們領先發⾔

註⼀:
⼩組組⾧「不⽤作什麼的準備」的意思是,除⾃⼰要遵守約章,做好每周的功課和靈修後,不⽤以為⾃⼰要去為教導組員⽽作額外的⼯夫,因為他的責任在乎便利 (facilitate) 組員的分享。註⼆:
⾄於彼此的代禱,是每⼀組員,包括組⾧在內,必須培養的習慣。不過,每周上課之前,最好有⼩組組⾧的祈禱會。⼀⽅⾯為上課的時間禱告,也好以簡略分享個別⼩組的難處,彼此⿎勵和代禱。

ORIENTATION
(OR KICK-OFF NIGHT)

迎新晚會
(或啟動會)

An orientation (or kick-off night) is normally scheduled exactly one week before the actual start-date of TG:

  • To ensure that all participants receive all the required books and materials,
  • To hand out the "Total Growth Covenant" (sample can be found on RESOURCES) to all participants to sign,
  • To answer any questions that they may have,
  • To ensure that they know how and what to prepare for the first lesson which is going to begin in a week, and
  • To test the online link, and including how to break into different rooms as required

通常迎新晚會(或啟動會)會安排在 全人成長門訓課程正式開始⽇期前⼀週舉⾏,旨在:

  • 確保所有參與者都能收到所需的書籍和資料︔
  • 向所有參與者分發《全⼈成長》組員約章(可在輔助資料查看樣本)並請其簽署︔
  • 解答參與者可能提出的任何問題︔

  • 測試線上連接,包括演⽰如何按需進入不同分組討論室。
