CONSOLIDATE
At this point personal details are recorded and the gospel is shared
again to ensure that the person understands what has happened to
them. The person is then told that someone will call them within two
days to find out how they are. The responsibility of the cell leader
is to ensure that the new believer is called within 24 hours and
receives a personal visit within 3 days.
The consolidation process continues through a special encounter weekend. This encounter retreat focuses upon giving the new believer an experience of Jesus. The weekend covers such areas as assurance of salvation, inner healing, deliverance, being filled with the Spirit, and the vision of the church. At this weekend retreat, they "encounter God" through a deeper revelation of “the Cross.” The Encounter is also the place where they vision of the Church is imparted. Following the retreat, they are encouraged to attend a twelve-week class entitled Post-Encounter.
Once the consolidation process is completed the new believer is ready to enter the next stage of development begins.
DISCIPLE
The aim is to enable every new believer to become a leader of a new
cell. Therefore when each disciple has completed the consolidation
process they enter the School of Leaders . The School of Leaders
involves training one night a week for about 9 months. About half
way through the School of Leaders the students start to open their
own cell groups.
Each person on the school of leaders launches a new cell group. The leader of the new cell continues to receive support, help and instruction from their original cell. As each of the members of the original cell starts their cells the original cell becomes a G12 group. The G12 group is therefore a leadership cell. Multiplication occurs! The 12 grow to 144 leaders each with their own cell.

SEND
When each of the original leader's 12 have grown their 12 the next
step is for these to begin to form teams to lead Encounter weekends
and for them to develop their own School of Leaders. As the
multiplication takes place more people are needed to teach in the
School of Leaders . Therefore the School of Teachers , or 'T-Track',
shows people how to teach the material and how to see the teaching
applied to people's lives .
Then the leader is free to go on and plant many more cells. In ICM, Bogota when someone has 250 cells they can become part time members of staff. And they can go full time when they have 500 cells - that means leading around 5,000 people!
There is also a call for people who have grown their 144 disciples to go an plant cells and churches overseas. We are particularly concerned about the 10-40 window. That is the part of the world which has most of the world's population of un-evangelized people. A cell strategy is definitely the most effective way of reaching them. Many of these people live in remote areas of the world and are found in countries, which are hostile to Christian teaching .
From all this you can see the G12 is not just another program. The Discipleship Cell Explosion is the key to seeing thousands of people born again, discipled and sent into the harvest fields of the world. Pray, take every opportunity to learn about and experience this strategy and start to implement it by climbing the “ladder of success.”
