039: Intentional Accompaniment Series: The 1-2-3-4 Model

In this episode, we continue our Intentional Accompaniment series with Proclaim Director, Eric Chow and CCO Missionary, Michael Hall. In this series, they break down CCO's model of Intentional Accompaniment - an essential skill for missionary disciples. In this episode, Eric and Michael discuss the layers of who are a part of the journey of accompanying others through CCO's 1-2-3-4 model, and dive deeper into the meaning of the scripture verse, 2 Timothy 2:2.

Discussion Questions:

• What stood out to you the most from this episode?
• Have you heard of CCO's 1-2-3-4 model before? Have you had experience to a leadership structure similar to this concept in the past? What are your thoughts on this model? How can this model help each person (1s, 2s, 3s, 4s) in the ministry/movement?
• "Who are the next generation of missionary disciples?" How have you helped those that you have accompanied to become the next leaders? If you've witnessed those you have accompanied become leaders, share your story with the group. What did you learn from that experience? If you haven't experienced this yet, keeping in mind that the one who leads in this accompaniment is the Holy Spirit, what are your dreams for your 1s? 2s? 3s?
• In the context of leading a program or small group, it is easy to identify the 1s, 2s, and the 4s. But where we lack is finding and identifying the 3s within our ministry. How can we help build up the 2s into future 3s? As leaders in our community, how can we intentionally help 2s (and even 1s) become future 3s one day?
