Introdução Methodologies: Storytelling, Analytical Questioning, Dramatization, Discovery Bible Exploration Illustrations: Identified by ** in the contents notes. Content: Stories are Very Powerful - The concept of story – of the concept of a worldview Illustrations of how powerful our stories are: Jose Kornegay** – American with an American education of nursing. Joined the Peace Corps and went to Sierra Leone and came to teach microbiology in a local university. Her students were very smart, studied hard and all the students passed their exams and Jose was very happy. The last day of class she gave her students an evaluation so she could teach better next time. At the end of the class, her students were thanking her for her course and one student raised her hand and again said, “Miss Jose, thank you for teaching us what the white people believe about how people get sick.” Jose was disturbed and confused, but said “Yes, please tell me” Her student explained that here in Africa we know about the spirit world and everyone knows that at night the demon come in at night and bit a person on the back and this is how everyone REALLY gets sick. What did Jose not consider in her teaching? Her worldview and her student’s worldview. Two very different worldviews with two different stories. Prince Henry the Navigator** – 14th Century man - His nickname was because he loved to explore. Hired a ship to find the sea route to India from Portugal. The ship returned within a week and told Henry that they could not go to India because “They came to the end of the world”, Henry was patient and yet determined and hired another ship and commissioned it to find the sea route to India. The ship came back within a couple weeks and the captain said, “We could not find the sea route because they came to the end of the world” Henri was not deterred. In the next 10 years he hired 13 ships to sail this mission, but all returned with the same story. So Henry hired a 14th ship and when they set sail, about a week into their journey they encountered a huge storm!! This storm blew them totally off course. When the storm passed, what did they find? They were past the end of the world and continued to sail up the East African coast and on to India. Spanish Sahara – a place on the coast that has a HUGE sandbar along the coast. As you approach it, the waters get shallower and shallower and the currents are very strange – what did the people determine from seeing this? They came to the end of the world. What is the end of the world? The map in their mind. They had been taught that if you sail too far to the south or to far to the west, you will come to the end of the world, so what did they conclude when they saw the sandbar? That they were at the end of the world. What limited their discovery – The map in their mind. What is a worldview and how does it work? Worldview is like a set of glasses–glasses of the mind. What do your glasses help you do? See better. Imagine having a set of glasses on your mind, all day you look through your glasses. They determine what you see, how you see the world and that will determine what kind of community you will build. One thing we don’t do is to take off our glasses and look at them. Wow – I have nice glasses!! Do you like my glasses? We look through our glasses but rarely look at them – we rarely examine our glasses, our worldview. Object lesson – 2 sets of glasses. Have them explain what they see – have them convince each other to see what they believe the room is like because of what they see. Romans 12:1-2 Read this around your tables – discuss what this means in relationship to what we are discussing. What is this passage telling you? Give 5 minutes Have groups discuss this. We must be born again, again. Where does the transformation begin? In the renewing of the mind – if your mind is not renewed, you will not be transformed. Transformation begins with the renewing of our mind. We need to Repent – We normally think of repenting as a feeling The Greek word repent is Meta-noia which literally means to change one’s mind or to be re-minded. We need to repent from what we think – to change our mind and be re-minded of the truth Illustrations**: My culture says – women are inferior The bible says – Women are made in the image of God My culture says – work is a curse The bible says – work give dignity. I must repent – and call women and work, what God calls them We need new lenses in our mind: We are made in the image of God, We are made to create history, things don’t have to be the same as they were with my grandparents, they can be different with my children. We must teach this, but we don’t teach it and our minds have not being renewed – (reminded of what God says). Histórias Modernas O Que é uma Cosmovisão? Last updated 7/07

A História da Cosmovisão
Power of Story VC Lesson Trainer Notes A História da Cosmovisão Realidade Definitiva Homem Natureza História Animismo Teísmo Bíblico Visão Secular Methodologies: Lecture, storytelling Illustrations: Identified by ** in the contents notes. Content: There are first 3 Primary Worldviews Transformation begins with the renewing of our mind. Africa example** – African gods are capricious and lead you around by the nose and impose bad things on you. To have them stop doing bad things, what must you do? You appease them, bribe them. This is how things work – so you bride to survive. If we now worship a just God – what kind of culture will we create? A just culture God wants to change the lenses of our glasses. Remove the animistic, materialistic lens and exchange them for biblical lenses. How do we see women? Do real men beat their wives? Now I become a Christian and I have new glasses. How do I see her – not as an object or possession, but as one who is created in the image of God. Worldviews are very powerful – they will determine what someone sees and how they will live, what kind of culture and nations will be built. Last updated 7/07

Idéias Têm Consequências
Power of Story VC Lesson Trainer Notes Idéias Têm Consequências Fruto = Consequência Galhos = Comportamento Tronco = Valores Raízes = Sistema de Crença Methodologies: Lecture, storytelling Illustrations: Identified by ** in the contents notes. Content: It says in Proverbs, “As a man thinkith, so he is” Another way of saying this is “Ideas Have Consequences” There is a relationship between how we think and the way things are in our lives. Give some examples** - How I think about women, how I think about work, what will I do Similar to the Relationships of the different part of a Tree Beliefs are like the roots of a tree – what I believe is true Values are like the trunk of the tree – what I think is good and bad Behaviors are the branches of the tree – behaviors that come from my values Consequences are the fruit of the tree – consequences that come from my behaviors Give an example of one value – like Machismo – Men are superior to women is a value Look at the relationship of the root to the fruit – we can pretend it isn’t there, or we can try to pick all the fruit off. But will that solve the problem? No, the same fruit will appear. IF WE WANT TO CHANGE THE FRUIT, WE MUST CHANGE THE ROOT The BIBLE – changes the roots!! If we understand this isn’t just a spiritual book, but a book about all of life. Hopefully – while you are in this conference, you will have your lenses changed and then you will look at what this means for the local church and what this means of how the church engages in the local society – then what does this mean for business, healthcare, education, development, journalism, media. Again, we need to be reminded – to repent. Last updated 7/07

O Espalhar das Idéias Horizontal Idéias viajam ao redor do globo, de uma área para outra. Idéias passam para gerações futuras. Idéias se propagam em culturas através das classes de pessoas. Methodologies: Lecture, storytelling Illustrations: Identified by ** in the contents notes. Content: Ideas Spread Horizontal – The Bible tell us to take the gospel first to Jerusalem, then Judea, then Samaria and then to where? The ends of the earth. The gospel is supposed to travel around the world from nation to nation. We have been focusing on this to reach all peoples of the earth. Time – Pass from one generation to another Many people will do the same thing their parents did it. Ukraine story** - Wonderful Ukrainian cook – excellent meat roast. The secret of her roast beef. Cutting the end off before putting it in the pan. Why? Mom did it, Grandma did it. Why – a small pan. It doesn’t matter if they are good ideas or bad ones, they will be passed on. Vertically – Ideas also penetrate culture Unfortunately the Church has forgotten this for the past 100 years. Good ideas will change culture for the good Bad ideas will enslave a culture We have been interested in seeing the Gospel moving around the world, but we have lost the ideas for how the gospel is to penetrate the culture Pelo Tempo Vertical Last updated 7/07

Idéias Espalham Através da Cultura
Power of Story VC Lesson Trainer Notes Idéias Espalham Através da Cultura Os Intelectuais (religião, filosofia) Os Artistas (música popular, as artes) Os Profissionais (a lei, política, economia) O Comum Methodologies: Lecture, storytelling Illustrations: Identified by ** in the contents notes. Content: How do ideas penetrate through a Culture? The Intellectuals – Highly educated thinkers-professors, religious leaders-monks There are Christians in your church who are intellectuals – are anyone listening to them? Rare to be in our higher education. Not afraid of asking questions and they love ask questions, reflect and look for the answers to questions that people have. They create new theories and ideas and then share them with their students. Illustrations – Pol Pot** - Young Cambodian mentored by a French professor to change society. The professor had an idea that modern society is not good, the agrarian society is better. The student went back to his nation to put this idea into practice – He killed all those who wore glasses. Shut down the cities. In 3 years million people of 9 million were killed. The Balladeers – These are artists: singers, songwriters, painters, poets, book writers, film makers, dancers They hear the new ideas and use their gifts and talents to share these ideas creatively. Illustration: Arts Festival Teaching** Darrow asking the question – what is Madonna doing in Japan – she is discipling a nation The Church should be the “well-spring for the arts” for the nation Pastors should support the artists and see the potential for discipleship The arts are not just for corporate worship or evangelism – there is a place for this, but this isn’t all the arts are for God is beautiful and the arts are part of expressing beauty for our cultures. The arts are to be a prophetic voice to our culture – To speak truth and bring beauty and justice. “ If you want to know where a society will be in the next generation, listen to the music of this generation.” “Give me the artists and I will not need the lawyers – artists are at the forefront of creating culture.” Illustration: Darrow’s Puerto Rico Trip** - Teaching on the maternal heart of God – women hearing that they are made to manifest the very nature of God and the machismo men began to weep because of how they had seen and treated women all their lives. Men repenting. Showing the fruit of this time – 12 popular songs on the dignity of women, a movie about a woman. All new balladeers being developed to impact culture. 3. The Professionals Need professionals to speak, model and promote systems for the Biblical truth to be incorporated into our culture These ideas get cemented into culture by the this group Illustration – Laws are being made in your area** The church must wake up and be the transformation agent God has intended 4. The General Population These are the ones that get hurt the most by the lies or are blessed by truth Review the process of penetrating culture As the church – Are you consciously encouraging, commissioning and sending out our members to be missionaries in the culture?

Transformando a Sociedade
Power of Story VC Lesson Trainer Notes Transformando a Sociedade Methodologies: Diagram Illustrations: Identified by ** in the contents notes. Content: How will we see a nation transformed? We need to see people come to Christ but that is not sufficient People must have a transformed mind – We must be reborn in our thinking, and we must begin to think like Christians We need to plant churches, but what kind of churches? But these are just the beginning of the task The next step is to reform culture. The word “culture” is derived from “cult” – that which we worship If you worship gods that are capricious, you will create a culture of bribery and corruption. Illustration** – You see a policeman on the street – he pulls you over and whether you do anything or not, what does he want? Money. If you give him money, you move on, but if you don’t he will give you trouble. This doesn’t just happen with the police – immigration, grades for school, job, etc. The gods are capricious – they can be bribed – this creates culture. Deut. 10:17 – Our God can not be bribed – this is the nature of our God. He is a just God!! Rom 12:2 – Our minds must be renewed. Finally, we then need to rebuild our societies. Illustration** - Switzerland statue of Lady Justice – their society’s structure reflects Biblical values Sociedades Reconstruidas Culturas Reformadas Almas Arrependidas e Vidas Regeneradas Evangelho – Mentes Renovadas – Nações Discipuladas Consequências – Comportamento – Valores - Crenças Last updated 7/07

Impactando o Mundo No Mundo mas não do Mundo
Power of Story VC Lesson Trainer Notes Impactando o Mundo No Mundo mas não do Mundo Methodologies: Visual Picture Illustrations: Identified by ** in the contents notes. Content: Jesus is praying – We are to be IN the world, but not one with or like the world We are to be salt We are to be light We are to be people of the Book wherever we are – Christians on Monday as well as Sunday The Church has started to focus on the size of the church as a measurement or standard for success as numbers. This is not a biblical standard! The Biblical standard of success is IMPACT. Is the church having an impact in the community? Is the community changing to reflect more of the Kingdom of God? This is God’s Plan for discipling the nations!! We are to be externally focused and not internally focused. TO LIFE Last updated 7/07

Reunidos e Espalhados Methodologies: Diagram, Storytelling, Quotes Illustrations: Identified by ** in the contents notes. Content: This is a diagram that reflects the way a church is to function. What is the Church? Our language even reflects that the church is a building. “I’m going to go to Church tomorrow? I have a prayer meeting at Church on Friday?” When we say this, how are we envisioning the Church? A structure with programs – the bigger and the more people and programs, the better we are as pastors. We tend to not think of the church as a body of people in the world, impacting the world. The Church is NOT a building, it is a people. The Church gathers on Sunday for worship and to equip the saints for the work of service (white arrows) The Church scatters on Monday – these are the same people that gathered on Sunday – to serve and disciple in the community where they work on Monday. (Blank arrows) Our understand of what the church is will have consequences for what the Church does If they see the church as his people, they are the church on Sunday and on Monday and the whole week If they see the church as a building, they are only the church on Sunday. Os Guinness quote – “God has his people where he wants them; the problem is they are not being his people where they are.” Trip in Nigeria** Traveling in Nigeria. The best day to travel is Sunday – because all those who require bribes to drive on the roads are in church – the Church is to be the church on Monday and not just Sunday. Going to Church in Hawaii** Rock Band and radical pastor – He said to his congregation, “Do you know what we are doing here today, this is half-time” In football, what happens during half-time? New instructions from the coach, analyzing the game, rest, built up and inspired. Sunday morning is half-time in the church. The pastors must coach, inspire, encourage, build up the people of the Body of Christ. How come we don’t think this way?

This is why we don’t tell the whole story, why we aren’t seeing what the Great Commission is all about. We have a pair of glasses on that keep us from seeing the truth.

Para finalizar . . . Três coisas perdidas
Power of Story VC Lesson Trainer Notes Para finalizar Três coisas perdidas Mente Bíblica Grande Comissão Estratégia Samaritana Methodologies: Lecture, Role Play Illustrations: Identified by ** in the contents notes. Content: As a result three things have been lost: The Biblical Mind – the Christian mind (don’t ask questions, just believe) Without a Christian mind, we have a mind like our culture. The Great Commission – When we read verses about the Great Commission, we translate what we are reading with these Gnostic glasses doing spiritual things – going into all the world and preaching the gospel and save souls for heaven. We have reduced the Great Commission to these two things. Many can’t even see the words on the paper. The Great Commission is to make disciples of all nations, teaching them to obey ALL that I have commanded. The Samaritan Strategy – God wants his people to minister to the broken world. Luke 10 story of the Good Samaritan. Is this my neighbor? OR How can I be a neighbor to people who cross the path of my life that have needs and brokenness? These things are not spiritual, so we don’t care for the physical needs, we may share the gospel but not care for their physical needs. We are entering a new era of history In the Western world (the Christian era – the modern era to the Post-modern era) This new era is moving around the world. It will come to your home soon if it hasn’t already. This new story says there is no story. The Post-modern story says there is no story. Worldviews are powerful. They will determine the lives we live, The kind of nations we build The kind of Church we will be. WHAT WILL YOU DO? Last updated 7/07
