How to start Discovery

Anyone can start Discovery. Invite a buddy who is also excited about Discovery.
Make a broader list of people you know and pray for them to Jesus.
Set a date and place for the first Discovery. Meet regularly.
Invite people. Invite them repeatedly. Practice what you'll tell them:
- Hi John, have you ever tried reading the Bible? I don't mean religion or church, just the Bible.
- With friends, we do this exploratory Bible reading. We meet at a café or someone's home. About an hour and a half.
- We share how we're doing, read a short story about Jesus from the Bible together, and talk about it.
- Friends are surprised by how interesting and useful it is!
- Some are complete non-believers. Everyone discovers something for themselves.
- Sometimes someone says: Wow, that's in the Bible?!
- I'm sure you'll find it interesting too!
- Get two or three friends together and try it with me!
At the first meeting, instead of "Return", get to know each other a bit. Briefly explain that the Bible is a library and that books have chapters and paragraphs.
Regularly consult with Jesus and someone more experienced in guiding Discovery.

Provide Bibles, or print the reading section for everyone, or use a mobile app (e.g., YouVersion).
When finding a passage, also mention the page number.
Try to have different people guide each third. From the third meeting, let new participants guide too. Give them Discovery guiding notes so they can read the questions.
Sometimes no one shows up. That's an opportunity to talk with Jesus and invite more people.
