The status quo is changing. With the discovery of basic principles, like those found in Man in the Mirror's "No Man Left Behind Model", churches are learning new men's disciple making strategies. But, training alone has not resulted in significant changes in the way churches disciple men.

We have found that coaching is effective because it helps churches to design their own customized plan and actually take critical steps in the execution of their plan. The churches we have coached have experienced significant growth and effectiveness.

Man in the Mirror's No Man Left Behind Model

The No Man Left Behind Model, developed by Man in the Mirror ministries in Orlando, Florida, has revolutionized the way we look at men's discipleship in the local church. Thousands of pastors and men's leaders have read the book and thousands more received training based on this model and many have successfully implemented what they've learned. But, most seem to be struggling to make it work in their church. That's because your church is your church. Not, the one in the book, in another city, or even down the street. Every church is unique and yours is n exception. So, what can be done?

Whether you have read the book and received training or not, coaching will help you and your church to strengthen your men's discipleship ministries.

Man' in the Mirror's No Man Left Behind Model is not a one-time event, but a highly customized process. Your Four:Nineteen Coach will lead you and your church through the following process.

Vision

This phase involves establishing a biblical foundation for your church's men’s discipleship ministry, as sessing your present efforts, and seeking the Lord's direction in crafting a mission statement that communicates a clear pathway for your men. The coach will guide you in identifying your church’s core values, and in discovering and articulating a unique men’s discipleship vision to align with God's heart for men and compel your church to action. Finally, you will assess together your readiness to implement this men’s discipleship vision.

Design
Based on your discoveries, your group will begin to develop a strategic CCS plan in order to realize your unique vision. This plan will include broad sets of opportunities, making it possible for every man in your congregation to be involved. In addition, we will help you build strong programs using resources that have been hand-picked because they support your plan. In addition, we will connect you with existing men’s ministry organizations that will provide expertise and resources which your church will need in order mobilize your plan into the future.

Deploy
Finally, your vision is set in motion, resources are selected, partnerships are established, and the whole church is mobilized. Men’s discipleship becomes integrated into every aspect of body life...so that No Man is Left Behind.

 

Four:Nineteen Coaching

Your Four:Nineteen Coach will come alongside you for the duration (typically 7 to 12 months). He will work with your church leadership, acting as a guide through Man in the Mirror’s NMLB Model and implementation of your own Create, Capture, Sustain (CCS) Strategy.

Your dedicated coach will assist you in developing and executing your men’s discipleship vision. And like a good coach, he will not only mentor and train your church, but will be available and accessible to walk with you throughout the entire process...encouraging, supporting, and advising. We consider it a privilege to join your church in reaching every man.

The first step is to contact us and see if coaching is for you. We’ll overview the ministry at Four-Nineteen, give examples from other churches, and answer your questions.

The next step will be for a Four-Nineteen coach to come to your church to hold an introductory workshop. Together, we will determine future steps.
