WHAT IS T-NET INTERNATIONAL?

"T-Net" stands for the "Training Network" for Disciplemaking Churches. T-Net is an international Christian training organization whose mission is "To return the church to its disciplemaking roots worldwide".

WHY IS T-NET NEEDED? 

While most churches "believe" in making disciples, very few are effectively making them. Consider the following statistics:       
  • The average "evangelical" church in America wins 1.67 persons (less than 2) to Christ and their church each year for every 100 persons who attend that church.
  • One-third of church members state their greatest individual needs are not being met by their church. 
  •  Less than 50% of church members pray for 5 minutes at least twice a week.
  • Only 11% of church members have shared the gospel even once in the last year and 33% have never shared the gospel with anyone. 
  •  Most church leaders, when asked, cannot even define "Disciple", and hardly any have been trained to "Make disciples". 

DOES T-NET WORK?   

In contrast to other churches, the average church completing the T-Net process: 

  • Wins 80% more persons to Christ and their church per year than before the process.      
  • Has five times as many persons involved in intentional discipleship than before they started.      
  • Has a written definition of a disciple and has trained their leaders to make disciples. 
  • Has an intentional strategy for using every program in their church to make disciples. 
HOW DOES T-NET WORK?   

T-Net is a "Coaching process" for teams of church leaders.      

  • In this process, 3 to 30 churches each bring teams of 3 to 50 leaders to a T-Net center to be coached.
  • These T-Net centers usually meet in a local church.     
  • The church teams come to eight meetings at the center. 
  • These meetings are held approximately every four months, so the entire process is about 28 months long.   
  • In addition, at least twice between meetings, the trainer coaches the pastors to overcome barriers to applying the principles learned in past meetings.
