Spiritual Gift Surveys
English, Chinese (Simplified),Chinese (Traditional)
Various spiritual gift surveys
These individual and group studies are intended to help new believer better pin point what their spiritual gift(s) might be so that they can better know how to serve in the Church. We normally have people take at least 3 of them and compare their answers. If the same answers account for their “top three” then odds are that those gifts are their spiritual gifts. There are a great deal of similar tools in the USA.
Hard Questions
Chinese (Simplified)
A group study for living and doing the will of God.
This program is primarily used in Chinese as a resource for specific questions. An equivalent resource in the USA would be resources such as The New Evidence the Demands a Verdict by Josh McDowell or www.euip.org of the Christian Research Institute.
Personal Discipeship
English, Chinese (Simplified),Chinese (Traditional)
Study to be used in one-on-one discipleship situations
There are two different resources here that are intended to help younger believers disciple and model the Christian life for new believers. There studies are intended to focus on life-application, practical change. They are simple and concise.
Bearing Fruit
English, Chinese (Simplified),Chinese (Traditional)
Bearing Fruit study
Like Vision Casting, Healthy Disciple and Healthy Church, this is another Truth Project original small group series. In this study, we will explore God’s Word to find truths and patterns that God has set forth for us as we learn to do and be who God has created us to do and be as we live out His purposes in our lives. We will begin with John 15:8 telling us that we glorify God and show ourselves to be Jesus’ disciples by bearing fruit!
Bible Outline One
English, Chinese (Simplified),Chinese (Traditional)
This Group study series is designed to provide a “50,000 foot” overview of the whole of Scripture.
It was designed to “sit on top” of C2C (Creation to Christ as found in the “Lost” Category). 30 hand-motions help the student of this training series grasp the outline so that a new believer will be able to better understand how individual passages fit in the overall scheme of the Scriptural narrative.
Bible Outline Two
English, Chinese (Simplified),Chinese (Traditional)
Chronological Group Study of the entire Bible.
52 week study. This series builds upon Bible Outline One and includes the same original 30 hand signals. This study includes a 1 year chronological Bible reading plan, 52 small group lessons that follow the plan (mostly), Presentation files, illustrated timelines, as well as student and teacher guides to further the study. As usual, the thrust of this study is life-application oriented.
Book Studies
English, Chinese (Simplified)
Group studies of individual books of the Bible.
Most of these studies have not been translated from Chinese yet, but a similar resource in the USA would be the New Testament Lesson Maker by Nav Press. Whereas studies such as the Healthy Disciple and Bible Outline are aimed at critical issues that face the life of converts and disciples, these studies are intended to go step-by-step across a large portion of the New Testament.
Dynamic Discipleship
English, Chinese (Simplified),Chinese (Traditional)
Dynamic Discipleship
This is a Spiritual Formations small group lesson series that is centered around the idea of living out the inner changes that God is making in each of His people. This series focuses both on the practical Inward development of each believer and the Outward growth and obedience that work together as God grows us in Christ.
Experiencing God
Chinese (Simplified)
Group study for living and doing the will of God
24 week study. We took the 12 week study and divided it further into a 24 week study. This has been instrumental in helping people understand how knowing God, knowing and doing God’s will and our obedience to His commands all work together.
Five Love Languages
English, Chinese (Simplified)
Group study about the Five Love Languages.
This is a short study series based on the book the Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman. The purpose is to give practical tools for which disciples can know how to treat others who are not like them and love others the way they want to be loved.
Healthy Church
English, Chinese (Simplified),Chinese (Traditional)
Group Study for understanding and living as a Healthy Church based on Ephesians 4:11-16
62 week study. This series follows the Healthy Disciple to help mature disciples better know their place within the church. Regardless of church model, this study is designed to better live as a Healthy Church as every believer in the Body of Christ does their part to grow God’s Kingdom!
Healthy Disciple: Intro
English, Chinese (Simplified),Chinese (Traditional)
Short-term discipleship for new believers to diagnose, become and disciple others to be healthy disciples.

Practical Hermeneutics

The Group study provides four simple rules for the new believer to use in his/her study of Scripture

The issue of how to study Scripture is necessary to grasp for a new believer in order to not fall into the same snares of the cults around us. These four common principles are simple to memorize grasp and use Scriptural interpretation on the part of new believers.
T4T: Training 4 Trainers

Short-term discipleship for brand new believers.
6 lessons. This series is the beginning point for new believers as they learn to be equipped for ministry. These lessons were designed to be very reproducible after the idea of 2 Timothy 2:2 so that they could be taught, caught and re-taught multiple times for the sake of reproducibility.
