What is the purpose of the Jethro 12 (J12)
Equipping Steps?

• To equip the saints for the work of the
  ministry.
• To train up the body of Christ rapidly and
  effectively as co-laborers and leaders in the
  Cell Church environment.
• Provide a perpetual motion for training up of
  co-laborers and potential Cell Leaders.

5
The J12 Equipping Steps consists of 4 Steps

• Each STEP consists of a process booklet and a
  weekend encounter.
• The process booklet must first be read and
  understood before entrance is allowed to the
  weekend encounter. Understanding the material is
  quantified by the reader completing the questions
  at the end of each chapter.
• Completing the process booklet is the entrance
  ticket to the weekend encounter. The Cell leader
  signs a certificate of completion at the back of
  each process booklet. This is shown to the
  District Pastor when the person registers at the
  weekend encounter.
• At the end of the weekend encounter, the person
  is then given the next process booklet to read
  before the next encounter.

6
Who can do the J12 Equipping Steps?

• Anyone and everyone is encouraged to join the
  process..

When does a person receive his/her first process
booklet?

• When a person joins the Church they are invited
  to the Welcome Encounter. Each one is given
  the first process booklet, Welcome To Your New
  Family, during the Welcome Encounter the J12
  Equipping Steps is explained.
• Existing cell members are identified as
  potential leaders and then challenged to complete
  the J12 Equipping Steps. The booklet is made
  available in the Home Cell via the Home Cell
  leader.
