M28 vs Pattern for Life

Simple. Relevant. Reproducible. M28 Global Discipleship is a simple, effective, and reproducible strategy to identify spiritual seekers, guide them in truth discovery, lead them to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and equip them to be disciple-makers in their circles of impact. It introduces people to an authentic Biblical community experience while allowing them to explore God's life-changing truth for themselves. M28 is a lifestyle, not a program.

In Pattern, with the help of the text and audio guides that include the Bible verses, your small group will experience authentic, simple, and reproducible patterns for life as disciples of Jesus. In fact, as you care for one another, discover God’s principles and practices, put into action what you discover, experience God’s presence, and share it with others—you will begin to help other people form groups and grow together in their living rooms. Using the life cycle of a plant as inspiration, these grouped journeys are categorized as Begin, Follow, Grow, and Gather. These help each group find the point where they want to begin as they grow together. Each journey organizes the meeting into three portions of interaction that any person in the group can facilitate. We can’t wait for you to experience how one week’s gathering ties into the next to help you grow. It is a Pattern for life! The Pattern App, always and forever free, is filled with ways and reminders to help you share sets of journeys or a PDF or MP3 audio file of the journey.
