一个简史现代门 徒栽培的运动
现代门徒栽培运动的创始人道森·托特曼(Dawson Trotman)于1906年3月25日出生于亚利桑那州的比斯比。 他在20岁时成为一名基督徒,在与基督同行的初期,他取得了重大发现。 如果他花个人的时间来栽培初信者,那么该人的属灵生活质量将与那些在加入教会后,只有简单地接受迅速握手,而没有任何后续行动的基督徒不同。
因此,道森与新基督徒建立了友谊,并向他们展示了如何通过聆听上帝的圣言,阅读,学习,记忆和默想来成长,并将其运用到他们的生活中。
1934年,他成立了一个名为「导航会」的机构。 今天,这是一个全球事工。 他的愿景是装备委身的男士和女十来执行大使命。
“Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
- Matthew 28:19
About Billie Hanks Jr.
「你们该效法我,像我效法基督一样」
(林前十一1)
个人和事工背景
小比利·汉克斯是「成为门徒栽培者」的创始人(Billie Hanks Jr.)于1944年5月24日出生在德克萨斯州的圣安吉洛。 他被养在一个牧场家庭中,并在10岁时接受了耶稣基督作为他的救世主。 他回忆说,在他少年时期,「每年夏天,我都会去教会参加复兴聚会,然后‘走到前面’。我总是在方框上打勾,说我想重新献身于基督。 人们一定以为我很世俗! 事实上 -我不是- 我只是在表达一个事实,就是我真正想更加坚定自己的信仰。 问题是,我需要有人向我展示他们的榜样。」
1954年,比利(Billie)和他的家人在苏格兰度假,比利·葛培理(Billy Graham)福音派团队的一些成员“碰巧”住在同一家酒店。 比利遇到了比利·葛培理(Billy Graham)和格雷迪·威尔逊(Grady Wilson)即(比利·葛培理(Billy Graham)的助理布道家),他们成为了终身朋友。 格雷迪栽培他作了23年以上的门徒,直到他回家与主同在。
Billie在20岁时成为BGEA的第一位实习生。 他与比利· 葛培理(Billy Graham)团队一起环游世界,学习十字军东征福音,并在29个国家/地区传道,成为一名经验丰富的传道人。 后来,比利35岁时,他被邀请担任BGEA的“事工部长”。 他以这种身份装备了成千上万的门徒栽培者来服侍新基督徒。
作为大学一年级学生,他读了一本书,这将永远改变他事工的重点。 它被道森·托特曼(Dawson Trotman)书名为《重生为了繁殖》。 后来在神学院中,他读了罗伯特·科尔曼(Robert Coleman)撰写的《布道大计》。 他意识到生命影响生命训练的重要性,因此开始栽培那些热衷于执行大使命的人。 他们共同开发了门徒栽培材料,供全世界的教会使用。 Billie毕业于得克萨斯州沃思堡的西南浸信会神学院,获得硕士学位,并获得了位于加利福尼亚州里弗赛德的加利福尼亚浸信会大学和密苏里州玻利瓦尔的西南浸信会大学的荣誉博士学位。
IEA is born
In 1972, International Evangelism Association was born and today it guides the highly effective ministry of “Becoming a Disciple-Maker.” It implements a relational life-changing New Testament disciple-making process in numerous countries and languages. The shared goal of Dr. Hanks & IEA has always been to work through visionary Christian churches, colleges, universities, and seminaries... seeing spiritual multiplication occur throughout succesive generations.
For the last 50 years Billie Hanks Jr. and the IEA team have been and continue to actively minister throughout the world. The “Becoming a Disciple-Maker” Lead Church strategy and friendship based equipping process is now being taught for credit in Christian seminaries in North America, South America, Europe, and Asia. Dr. Hanks has followed in Trotman’s steps and is training IEA staff to do the same - teaching and training thousands of Great Commission minded pastors from many denominations how to close their “back doors” and “equip church members” to grow and multiply spiritually.
"你们在许多证人中间从我这里听到的事,要交托给忠心的人,他们也能教导别人。" – 2 Timothy 2:2
