Format Decide based on your context and needs how long the study should continue, how the study should be organized, and how often to meet. Format Odlučite se temelji na Vašim potrebama i kontekstu koliko dugo studija treba nastaviti, kako je studija treba biti organizirana, i koliko često u susret. We suggest at least eight sessions, weekly or every other week. Preporučamo najmanje osam sjednica, tjedno ili svaki drugi tjedan. The study could be offered as: a Sunday School class (either replacing or supplementing regular classes); a mid-week Bible study; a Sunday evening series; a special small group, meeting outside the church; etc. U istraživanju mogu biti ponuđeni kao: ned Škola klase (ili mijenjati ili Dodatne redovne nastave); jednog u sredini tjedna Biblija studija; jedna nedjelja navečer serije; poseban male grupe, sastanak izvan Crkve, itd.

The invitation to attend a ministry-focus Bible study should be extended to the whole congregation. Poziv da prisustvuju jednom ministarstvu-fokus Biblija studij bi trebao biti produžen na cijelu zajednicu. You can even provide incentives to encourage attendance - refreshments, book give-aways to regular attenders, or other perks. Možete čak i davati poticaje za poticanje sudjelovanja - piæe, knjiga dati prospekti redovnom attenders, ili druge perks. Consider providing child care if that would remove a barrier to attendance. Razmislite o pružanju njege djeteta, ako da će ukloniti prepreke za pohađanje. Active participation of the Ministry Vision Team or other leadership body in the Bible study is strongly encouraged. Aktivno sudjelovanje Ministarstva Vision Team ili drugih tijela rukovođenja u Bibliji studija je jako ohrabrilo. The Holy Spirit can speak to church leaders through the Bible study to give direction and inspiration to the visioning process. Duha Svetoga može govoriti da crkva lidera kroz proučavanje Biblije dati smjer i nadahnuće za visioning proces.
