And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest upon him. But if not, it will return to you. And remain in the same house, eating and drinking what they provide, for the laborer deserves his wages. Do not go from house to house. (Luke 10:5-7 ESV) • Establishing a stable beach-head for the kingdom in that place

  9. Keys to winning the 2nd generation • Help them look outward and be responsible for household • ‘This is for you & your household’ – even pre-salvation • Coach them on what to do: ‘Go back and tell your household.’ • E.g. Demoniac • Be willing to go with them (if needed) – e.g. 1.5 generation • Help them identify people to share with in their household • Encourage them to group as you witness to them • Within minutes or hours, do TWO things – FOLLOW & FISH • FOLLOW: BAPTIZE & PREPARE them for persecution • FISH • WHY - Give them VISION (“you & household”) • WHOM - NAME LIST – List their oikos. Identify responders: “Who would be excited about your life change?” “Who would most want to hear?” “Whom is God telling you to speak to?” • HOW - PROCLAMATION – Testimony (“Just tell them what happened” – Not hard!); coach them on contextually appropriate gospel witness

  10. Keys to 2nd Gen • What does the study teach us about getting to 2nd generation? • Holding up the value of the King – including baptism • Go broad to find the POP (you may not have found him yet) – Ecc 11:1-6 • Move from EV to DISC immediately - Casting vision to POP to immediately win (within hours) household – lots of EV • WHY - Vision • WHOM - Name list (household) • HOW - Means • Maintain 3/3 process – not miss the RED/BOLDparts • Persist – give it enough time • Make this your goal! (Ticking clock) • Take a risk – Mt 10:41, Mk 5:19 (entrust him to God)
