Anna’s Circle offers two training options:
1.Basic Program – Women who choose the Basic Program meet at least once a month and cover one session each time they gather. Many sessions include a short video before working through the participant’s guide together. Before closing, you’ll review the action step to be completed. The pace for this program is slower and more manageable for women with time limitations. You’ll cover the material in the meetings versus on your own as “homework,” and have more time for discussion. The Basic Program is a subset of the material covered in the Comprehensive Program.
2. Comprehensive Program – Women completing the Comprehensive Program will meet at least once a month and complete one full module. Modules include three sessions and several action steps to be completed. This program is designed for women with the gift of evangelism and are ready to be challenged with a content-rich course. Some modules may require more time to finish. You will decide the right pace for your group.
Anna’s Circle Training is best done in small groups, and/or with a partner, and all materials are available through Anna’s Circle Community. The training is not another Bible study, nor is it a “one-size-fits-all” approach; rather it is a set of customizable tools you will use to build relationships with those not following Jesus, and share the Gospel in a way that fits your culture and personality. After completing Anna’s Circle Training, women are more intentional about finding opportunities to share their faith with a new boldness and confidence.
Anna’s Circle training materials (which are free!) were adapted from the highly successful church planter training provided by Multiplication Network. Since 2008, Multiplication Network has trained thousands of church planters, many of which are women, like Anna.
What are the goals of the Anna’s Circle Training?
- This just-in-time-training provides tools throughout that let you put into practice what you learn as you go.
- You should expect to actively lead one person to a new faith in Jesus or help someone reconnect with Jesus and get back into a relationship with Him.
- You will learn to identify future disciple-makers and how to mentor them so that the circle continues to expand!
