Leadership Group Guide - October 2023

We believe that we are entering into a season of harvest and revival just as the prophetic word from Prophet Laffoon stated. We see glimpses of awakening and revival on college campuses and in small pockets around the US. Here in Hawaii, we are starting to see the embers of awakening and revival as well. Small groups on middle school, high school, and college campuses where we've previously seen harvest are starting to bear fruit once again. We are also seeing a wave of people from all generations come to faith in Christ and get water baptized.

This is just the beginning. How do we prepare ourselves and our groups for the revival and awakening that God wants to bring? We must remember that prophetic words must be responded to with faith and obedience.

“We received the same promises as those people in the wilderness, but the promises didn’t do them a bit of good because they didn’t receive the promises with faith.” (Hebrews 4:2 MSG) 

How do we respond with faith and obedience?

  • Prayer.

One of the hallmarks of revival is prayer. 

  • We are dedicating the month of October to prayer. Visit pearlside.org/prayerandfasting for more information and for a list of prayer pockets that you and your group can attend. It all culminates in our three days of prayer and fasting on October 24-26. Let’s rally our people to pray because more prayer, more power!



  • Plan for multiplication. 

Our goal is for each of our groups to multiply and reproduce another group this year to create more room for new people. To help us accomplish this, walk people through the discipleship process.

  • Discipleship Resources: One2One, Purple Book, Purpose Driven Life.

  • Classes: Growth Track, Freedom Weekend, Discipleship Track.

  • Discipleship Milestones: Water Baptism, Baptism in the Holy Spirit, Stewardship- fully tithing, Serving on a serve team, Sent on mission in personal evangelism.



  • Start clustering and empower more leaders.

We need to create more containers in advance of the harvest. Clustering enables new leaders to emerge. 



DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:

  • What does your group need to do to prepare for the harvest?

  • Who are the potential new leaders you can begin preparing to help with the harvest?

PRAYER:

  • Pray for one specific leadership challenge you are facing.

  • Pray for new leaders to emerge and for each of our groups to reproduce another group this year.
