HOW TO USE CANDLESTICKS
| Special Note: Each member of Uptown should be simultaneously training for ministry and engaging in ministry. Although the Ministry Stage is a distinctive step in the entire Discipleship Training process, it does not constitute the end of one's training. Even as a person is involved in the ministry of the church, he should continue to seek training and evaluation so that he maybe more thoroughly equipped for the work God has given him. This is why on Chart 1, we seethe arrows from Stage III to Stage IV moving in both directions. As you do ministry, you will be continually faced with your weaknesses, as well as strengths, and therefore will need further training, development, and encouragement. Indeed, one could even say that practical ministry is apart of the training process itself. Conclusion The purpose of this manual has been to outline the Discipleship Training process step by step. Please take time to review the forms and charts located in the Appendices. In particular, spend sometime praying over how you should be involved in the various Discipleship Training Modules highlighted in Appendix III. If you have further questions, you will find many of them addressed below in the section entitled, Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's).
