The Mission Of Living Hope Ministries & IBS Is To Promote Individual Growth & Support The Local Church To Fulfill Our Command To Make Disciples
There Is Truth To The Saying That "What You Don't Know Can Hurt You!" How True That Is For The Follower Of Jesus Christ. An Examination Of The Life Of Christ Reveals That To Be His Disciple Requires A Decision To Reorient Priorities "If Anyone Wishes To Come After Me, He Must Deny Himself, And Take Up His Cross And Follow Me." Matt. 8:34
At Living Hope Ministries Through The Institute Of Biblical Studies We Are Strategically Focused On The Mission To Provide Discipleship Support To Any Believer Who Is Willing To Reorient Their Priorities And Make Growing In Their Love, Knowledge And Service For The Lord Their Primary Purpose In Life.
The Challenge Of The Role Of A Pastor In A Local Church Is Overwhelming! After Serving In Staff Positions In The Local Church For Approximately 20 Years, With A Normal Working Week at 70 Hours, I Fully Understand The Struggle. IBS Is An Opportunity To Help Share The Load To Ensure The Fulfillment Of Our Mutual Call To Make Disciples Of All Nations. Matt. 28:19-20. As A Leader How Would You Answer The Following Questions In Respect To The Ministry At Your Local Church:
If The Answer To Any Of The Above Questions Is "NO" Then Consider Letting Living Hope Ministries & The IBS System Share Your Load Through A Team Effort By Connecting With Us In The Response Area Below.
For Additional Questions Or Information Use The "Team Interest" Button Located At The Bottom Of This Webpage Or Use The Response Options On The "Contact" Page.
An Important Part Of Our Mission Is To Provide Support To The Local Church. We Will To Join In A "Team Effort" With Local Churches That Share The Same Passion For Outreach & Discipleship.
We Provide Both The Time & Labor At No Financial Cost To The Church. All That Is Required Of Church Leaders Is A Willingness To Provide Leadership To The Church Family By Promoting Involvement In The Classes. These Classes Can Be Added To The Small Group Options Provided In Your Church.
Class Sizes Have Generally Ranged Between One To Fourteen Students. In The Case Of "New Beginnings" Most Sessions Are One-On-One Or Individual Targeted In Order To Better Address The Needs Of The Individual.
Even Though Our Passion Is That As Many As Possible Respond To A Class, The Growth Of Each Person In Their Spiritual Walk Is More Important Than The Number In The Class.
There Is Not An Expectation That Large Numbers Will Immediately Sign Up For IBS Classes. If Only A Few Respond After Concerted Effort Then We Consider The Efforts A Success Because Each Person Who Responds, Even If It Is Just One, Is Worth The Effort. The Spiritual Growth Of That One Person Or The Few Will Be The Seeds Of Encouragement To Others To Engage In Accountable Discipleship.
When Leaders Have A Vision About A Ministry Direction, The Led Will Give It Consideration And Some Will Actually Get On Board And Follow The Vision. Without Genuine Effort And A Vision To Make Disciples Through IBS By The Leadership It Is Unlikely To Receive Any Response From The Church Family.
We All Respond In A Positive Way To Multiple Options. The Fact That God Did Not Make Everyone The Same Is A Clue That All Will Not Respond In The Same Way To The Options In The Church. The IBS Program Can Be Promoted As Another Option, Alongside The Existing Options, For Spiritual Growth. IBS Classes May Not Be The Choice For Everyone But They Will Be A Consideration For Those Who Have An Appetite To Be Challenged In Their Spiritual Growth.

Leaders Best Understand Their Church & The Steps It Takes To Communicate & Motivate So Take What You Know & Understand Then Apply it To Creating A Vision & Response By Your Church Family.
To Have So Many Responses From People Interested In Making A "New" Or "Fresh" Start That It Becomes A Scheduling Challenge Would Be Considered A Blessing. There Is No Greater Blessing Than To Be A "Midwife" In The Spiritual Birth Process Brought Into Reality By The Lord.
The Reason For The "Group" Session Is To Train Other Believers To Provide A "Team Effort" By Applying The Knowledge & Tools Received In The Group Session To Provide Leadership For Those Requesting Individual Sessions. The Blessing Will Flow Not Only To The One Being Discipled But Also To The One Who Is Discipling. Disciples Making Disciples - Amazing & Encouraging!
ABSOLUTELY!!! Call Or Contact Our Office By Email, Text Or From This Website And We Will Do Our Best To Respond In A Timely Manner And Provide Whatever Support Is Required To Promote Success. Making Disciples Is A "TEAM EFFORT" So Consider Us As An Important Part Of The Team.
