what is The 72?
the mission
To equip and encourage people in a lifestyle of discipleship.
the vision
To see a gospel fuelled disciple-making movement transform the world.
the elements of The 72
CLBI is not interested in running a global discipleship program. It is our desire to support you and your church to follow Jesus in making disciples. This is done through:
teaching
The teachings of Jesus shaped his disciples. The 72 provides weekly biblical teaching and testimonies to centre participants in the mission of Jesus.
coaching
Discipleship is not a solo sport. Just as Jesus sent out the 72 in pairs, we coach leaders to create D-groups (discipleship groups). D-Groups become a family; providing the support and encouragement to produce the fruit that lasts (Jn 15).
outreach
Through the 72 God is connecting individuals and ministries around the world to work alongside each other. This global “cloud of witnesses” gives great encouragement in running the race set before us (Heb 12).
network
The 72 develops confidence in joining Jesus on his mission. This can look as everyday as talking to your neighbour, or extraordinary as traveling to support another of the 72 in an outreach effort.
ONLINE/IN-PERSON GATHERINGS
This is not just another place to take in more information – these short-term online gatherings are designed to help you hear God and do what He is saying (Matt 7:24-27). Sessions will include biblical teaching, real testimonies and space to process with others how God is wanting to break more deeply into your life.
IMMERSION
EXPERIENCES
CLBI has a campus in Camrose Alberta which is the heart of this discipling movement. Here people can come for one semester or up to two years. In the future, we hope to have various immersion experiences in different locations in the US and Canada. These experiences may be for a weekend or for a couple of weeks.
LAUNCHING OF MISSIONAL
COMMUNITIES
As disciples are ready to embrace the mission God has for them we want them to invite others to join them. This may be on a college campus, in a new business, local church, church plant, or a cross-cultural missionary setting – all of these are part of this discipling movement.
