Individual Discipleship Training

July 2026:

I had my one-to-one Evangelism & Discipleship training with Tope and I found it very helpful and insightful. I’m now looking forward to going out, hopefully onto the streets to do some evangelism and doing some more meetings with Tope over time, once I have got all my disciples hopefully in Jesus’ name. It was definitely a great session and I feel all fired up. I would recommend anyone if they are looking to become an Evangelist to just chose this training course. Thanks you.

September 2025:

ETS ministries is doing fabulous work training the disciples all over the world. Countries like India need this training very much. I thank you very much sister Tope for this discipleship training course you have given me for free. I am very blessed by this training. This training is very useful for me to teach my friends and make them true disciples of Christ. During these end times, this training is very helpful to overcome trails, temptations, and persecution.

“I really enjoyed the event and thought it was well planned and the resources used were excellent, I enjoyed the blend and input from the HBC team and Tim and Tope.  The warm welcome to start the day with song and praise help to settle you down then the gentle introduction to becoming a disciple and of course the great lunch – thanks to all involved behind the scenes.”

“I found the ETS discipleship course very useful.  It was valuable having all the areas that should be covered in discipleship laid out in the guides. They emphasised that discipling needs to happen in and through relationship, which was good. The role play was a good approach to learning, and a good challenge as it forces one to go through the experience of sitting opposite someone and actually talking through your faith. But I would suggest doing fewer role plays while covering more topics perhaps, because we ran out of time on some sessions.”

Delegate comments from Discipleship Training Course

“I Thought it was great. Really useful. Christianity is so layered and there is so much to it, so overwhelming where to start. The structure of the course material is really helpful for both the disciple and the person being discipled. I thought it was excellent”.

From Our Evangelism training days:

Nate

I’ve started immediately with my evangelism, it seemed like totally God’s effort this Monday, two of my friends I see on the barracks in the welfare lounge after work have just been completely open and interested to talk about Christianity. One of them has even suggested driving the 3 of us to church this Sunday, without any suggestion from me!

I’ve written a commendation for your discipleship course to encourage other soldiers to take this training too. Your ministry is very inspiring and I’m glad we have you all at ETS working for God’s kingdom.

Firstly my thanks to Tim and Tope for asking me to be on the prayer ministry team for ETS [Equipping The Saints].

The first session was about getting ourselves right with God, getting rid of stuff in our thoughts and lives that is not pleasing to God. As we prayed for people we witnessed them being released as Gods Holy spirit was working in them, it was a very powerful evening and a real joy to see people praising the Lord for what was happening in their lives.

For me I felt a real joy in my heart just confirming who I am in Christ. We were given a list with lots of verses on like, John 1 v12 I am Gods child, Ephesians 1 3-8 I have been chosen by God and adopted as his child. There were many more verses like these that have been good to just read through each day so that it sinks in who we are in Christ.

The whole course was very well put together and you could tell and see the anointing of God was in it. I found it a very helpful course to do and learnt a lot more about how we can witness more to unbelievers and to share our testimonies. Thank you again Tim and Tope for putting so much of your time and passion into this course

I attended an Equipping the Saints course and am pleased to submit a review. Growing up in Streatham, South London, I was sent to a local Baptist Church Sunday School on a Sunday afternoon whilst singing in the Anglican Church choir in the morning and evening as a boy chorister for 5 years until my voice broke, so I was well “churched”. I did not become a Christian until my late teens. Whilst being quite outgoing, I have never found talking about my faith a major challenge, spending my early twenties discoing and socialising with my City banking colleagues with a glass of orange juice in my hand as I am a tee-total. This I have found to be a guaranteed conversation opener about my faith.

The Equipping the Saints course was an excellent experience, underpinning some of the principles for witnessing effectively, and renewed my vigour to be more pro-active in sharing the gospel with others. The course facilitators were passionate about the need to witness and used innovative and inspiring methods during the course to explore potential barriers to effective encounters with family, friends, neighbours and work colleagues, and their enthusiasm was truly inspiring and motivational. I would highly recommend anyone to enrol on this course.

My husband is a born evangelist – I am not. I always struggle to understand how it comes so naturally to him when I feel evangelism is so difficult and therefore decided to attend the ETS course. The course laid out the foundations of faith, encouraged me to dive deeper in my relationship with the Lord and helped me to practice evangelism in a way that felt natural to me. With the mix of teaching, worship and prayer time, I grew in my confidence in sharing the gospel and in understanding my spiritual gifts. I recommend this course for anyone wishing to respond to the call to go out in the world and make disciples!

Val

When I attended the ETS course, the sweet, gentle presence of Holy Spirit among us was tangible throughout. As we soaked in His presence during worship, prayers, small group discussions and the teaching, He communed softly with us.

This short, comprehensive course equipped us with the confidence, encouragement and tools needed to embark on the next step of sharing our faith. It was fun too! I am excited and expectant to see take the next step.
