Ian Thomas’ books such as The Saving Life of Christ and The Mystery of Godliness continue to be accurate and dependable resources to share the message of the Exchanged Life. We believe this New Covenant perspective should be central to Discipleship Counseling. Thomas was used of the Lord to launch the Capernwray Bible Institutes in various countries. Derek Burnside teaches at the mother school in England. In this online video message, Derek speaks on the topic “I’m in Christ and He’s in Me” (John 14:20). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOoczLDCUOw

“Then those who feared the Lord spoke to one another,
And the Lord listened and heard them;
So a book of remembrance was written before Him
For those who fear the Lord
And who meditate on His name.” (Malachi 3:16)

This month Grace Fellowship is beginning a teleconference ministry to encourage Discipleship Counselors. We envision regularly scheduled calls for fellowship, equipping and networking. The calls will have designated groups that are invited to participate: 1) those who have been certified, 2) those who are in the certification process, 3) all workshop alumni.

Purpose:
To encourage fellowship among those who have been certified with Grace Fellowship International
To defend and promote Exchanged Life personal ministry
To give personal updates on GFI
To provide a forum to learn from each other
To provide additional coaching wisdom and resources

Format:
Bimonthly teleconference or videoconference
Scheduling letter and invitation sent the week before
An enrichment topic mentioned
Participants are welcome to email John with additional suggestions, questions, and testimonies
A follow up email will be sent out with some major points of the call and a link to the recording

We pray that the Lord will use these coaching calls to further encourage and equip us to be Christ Centered Discipleship Counselors.
