Module 3 – Laity Involvement Through the Pastor’s Meal:  Module 3 concentrates on the “pastor’s meal” which is the best method for involving laity in ministry in order for discipleship to take place. Four areas are covered in the “pastor’s meal”: church’s vision, evangelism training, spiritual gifts discovery/training and discipleship through lay involvement. A pastor’s meal offers friends, follow-up, leads, commitment and importance.
