Lifeshapers

LifeShaperPic1What is it?

Lifeshapers is a discipleship program that offers participants a spiritual pathway to freedom. It is a biblically based, Jesus centered, Holy Spirit driven program that offers no quick fix, but with commitment and determination of the person seeking help, their willingness to be open and vulnerable and accountable, plus the loving direction of those bringing help, there will be healing and restoration.

 

How does it work?

Lifeshapers is an eight-week discipleship program. Each participant has their own manual and works through the lessons and personal action plan on a daily basis. All participants attend a weekly meeting with a prayer partner, which provides a place of safety and opportunity for participants to deal openly with the issues and questions concerning them. It is not a therapy group; it is simply the body of Christ serving and supporting each other to learn, change and grow, 'attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.' (Ephesians 4:13 b)

 

Who is it for?

LifeShapers is for anybody who is prepared to deal radically with their past, and wants to build a sound biblical foundation for the future.

A participant on a LifeShapers program learns to:

  • Recognise that life-controlling problems have, and have had, detrimental effect on their lives and relationships.
  • Own their problems and become willing to deal with them honestly and openly.
  • Believe that God is interested in working with them to sort through past failures and to offer the possibility of success in the future.
  • Commit themselves to work through the whole course even when it gets tough and they are tempted to withdraw.
  • Become a fruitful disciple of Christ.
