G12 INTRODUCTION HANDBOOK

Sharing life in Jesus

This handbook has been created to help
you understand what the G12 Vision is all
about. It is a practical guide, filled with
Scripture references for you to read & re-
fer to, meditate on, and then live out in
your pursuit of discipleship and life as a
follower of Jesus Christ.

The material in this handbook is not just

to be read and put away! It should be prayerfully studied and applied.
It is an excellent guide that can be used during fellowship times and
informal conversationsask your Life group leader or Net leader if you
have any questions about the content of the handbook, and share your
experience with your leader as you begin to catch and implement the
Vision in your own life.

The beautiful thing about the G12 Vision is that it brings in a new
language into the Churcha language that everyone who enters the
Vision can speak and understand. It is a language of faith, hope and
love that inspires dreams, enlarges our own personal goals and devel-
ops unity in our Family.

May you use this handbook as an aid that starts you on a whole NEW
journey of victorious discipleship and fulfilling, godly relationships.

As members of NLCC, let us make it our priority to SHARE LIFE IN

JESUS and ADVANCE THE KINGDOM OF GOD in this year of ACTION!

Be a Good Sibling

1. Being a sibling teaches selflessness & how you are to relate in a

family setting.
2. Remember that your family includes your brothers and sisters in
your Net or in your Life group.
3. Siblings are not to compete against one another, but complement
& celebrate each other.
4. Effective disciple makers are those that have learnt to love & af-
firm our fellow siblings.
5. Seek to build strong relationships with your brothers/sisters (your
parents 12). Love & edify them, they are your fellow workers &
soldiers.
6. Support one another, pray for & pray with siblings regularly &
build one another up in Gods teachings

7. Be open for them to speak into your life & ask God to use you to
speak into their lives as well.
8. Be transparent & honest with one another as you learn to love one
another as true children of God.
9. Be committed to one another & devote yourself to Gods vision of
family & unity in the Kingdom of God.
10. Meet up with one another to build trust & relation-
ships with Kingdom principles.

mility & strength of character.

Be a Good Spouse
Being a good spouse/partner is essential for fruitfulness.
Being a good spouse/partner teaches humility, effective communica-
tion, respect & grace, forming godly character; all essential in raising
healthy, holy, future fathers/mothers.
Develop intimacy & purity of relationship with Christ & your spouse.

Learn to honour one another & let the love of God rule in your rela-
tionship.
Learn to be quick to forgive the mistakes of another, particularly
those close to you. This is vital in order to become a person that
Christ can mould. It teaches humility & builds up a defense against
the devil, who uses grudges & unforgiveness to bring a wedge in re-
lationships.

Work in ministry together with the Holy Spirit & your spouse.

Spend time in communion & prayer with one another.

Remember a couple that prays together stays together!

Be a Good Grandparent

Discipline them love, not pamper them; bring the Word of God to
them, not pandering to their emotions

spiritual children, holding them accountable & watching over the
discipleship process between them & their children. This will ensure
continuity of relationships & fruitfulness.

spiritual legacy, to be visionary & impart wisdom & godly experience

NLCC is undergoing a transition period from being a cell church into a
G12 cell church. The structure of a G12 cell church finds its strength in
its clusters of 12 people, led by a G12 leader. The biblical principles of
the Church as Gods family, and spiritual parenting/discipling, are ex-
pressed through the structure of the church.
(the Pastor and the Pastors wife)
and together, they give spiritual birth to and nurture children of their
own. Once chosen and invited into the 12, the principal leadership Nets
are formed ( ).

This is the

[Mens Net Leaders] [Womens Net Leaders]

The Principal 12 are chosen by the Senior Pastors through prayer and
revelation from the Holy Spirit. Individuals are invited into the G12
group with a view of lifelong relationships. It is common that this proc-
ess take months, and sometimes years as the group is refined and
tested by the Holy Spirit.

14
Each member in the Men & Womens Nets are nurtured, mentored and
parented by their Net Leader. As they follow their leader, they begin
the process of walking through the Ladder of Success (Win. Consolidate.
Disciple. Send.) Each Net member must catch the G12 Vision of NLCC
in order to be a true disciple of their group. They must be won to the
Vision and to the relationships within the Net, especially with the Net
leader. Their faith in Jesus, as expressed through living out Gods Word
& the Vision, must be consolidated. This includes attending the Pre-
Encounters, Spiritual Encounters and Post-Encounters held by NLCC
with open hearts, ready to meet with Jesus and be transformed in ever-
increasing measure for Gods glory. The discipleship process is a life-
long commitment between spiritual parent to spiritual child. It is
founded in a godly, mentoring relationship of mutual transparency, ac-
countability, commitment, submission and love. Learning & being
equipped through the School of Leaders I & II is part of the discipleship
process, where every member of NLCC can become a leader.

The and
each member within the Net has the responsibility to make their own
disciples & spiritual children. These spiritual children are chosen
(birthed) through prayer and revelation from the Holy Spirit, as well as
guidance from their Net leader. This formation of a 2nd generation fol-
lows the formation and consolidation of the 1st generation of Net mem-
bers. Each Net members goal is to birth their own 12 through the Holy
Spirit & prayer, compassion & love; while being held accountable and
under the blessing and guidance of their spiritual parent (their Net
leader). The G12 Vision is a 3-generational Vision and the birth of spiri-
tual children becomes a continuous legacy for the spiritual parent, grand
-parent & great-grandparent, etc. When the Net members form their
own G12 group (12 individuals, prayerfully invited to follow a recognized
leader and enter into a parent-child, godly relationship), a
.

15
The Net members become parents, and the Net leader become grandpar-
ents. Spiritual parents are Gods under-shepherds who are stewards of
the lives of Gods people they are not to lord it over others, but to love
them in accordance with biblical teaching, without stifling or claiming
ownership over them.

Disciples in the 2nd generation are then taught and brought through the
Ladder of Success. When these disciples bear , (forming
a 3rd generation), their identity as true is established and
they become parents. Just as in physical relationships, every child, no
matter how old, has a parent. This is true in Gods family as well. Even
though the 2nd generation has become parents, they never stop being chil-
dren to their own spiritual parents and so the relationships continue and
are strengthened for a life-time.

Pray for wisdom & discernment Remember that you are

important to God and God has a perfect plan for your life. Do not be dis-
couraged when outward situations may appear different to what you want
surrender your will to Gods will and seek first to establish HIS Kingdom
& HIS righteousness, not your own!

16
The G12 Vision is powerful, but must be birthed through constant, ear-
nest prayer. In this way, each will find their 12 and multiplication will oc-
cur naturally, giving rise to generation after generation of disciple-makers
of Jesus.
