About T-Net

T-Net Endorsement

T-Net Philippines is locally registered as Training Network Philippines Inc. Our organization was established to take charge in the propagation, administration, and management of Training Centers in the country. We also coordinate with T-Net International, the Creator and Owner of the T-Net Training Program, and Teleo University- the institution that provides us with accredited degrees.

T-Net Philippines carries the banner of "Project Zero", with the aim that there will be zero barangays in the Philippines that haven't been transformed by the gospel. This is what we hope to achieve as we train pastors to revitalize and plant disciple-making churches throughout the country.

Message from our Country Director

Dear Partners and Friends,

We praise God for His divine appointment, allowing us to be the conduit for the T-Net Program in our country, and by the grace of God...to more countries in Asia within the next two decades. T-Net's strategic thrust is to finish the Great Commission by revitalizing churches towards intentional disciple-making and planting other disciple-making churches, until each neighborhood becomes saturated with disciple-making churches, and the Great Commission is finished in that country.

We are excited to meet like-minded co-workers who carry the passion for the mandate of Jesus to make disciples of all nations. I sincerely believe that every pastor who joins T-Net will value the learning and the tools that they will receive to effectively develop their entire church laity to become active in sharing the gospel, serving the body, discipling others and equipping workers for the harvest.

On behalf of all the more than 500 members of T-Net Philippines composed of leaders, pastors, trainers and students, we invite you to join our quest of returning our churches and denominations back to our biblical disciple-making roots patterned after the life and ministry of Jesus- making disciples and planting churches wherever He leads. Rest assured, we will be with you and your church throughout this journey of obeying the mandate of Jesus as He empowers us to accomplish His will.

Do pray for the steady growth of this ministry as we recruit, train and coach more pastors to become effective disciple-making leaders and mobilizers for our country.

Sincerely Yours,

REV. LEO JAIME SON

What makes T-Net work?

1. Finishing the Great Commission

2. Modular Training

Pastors/church leaders don't leave their church/ ministries while studying for an accredited degree. They enroll in a local training center and attend courses for five (5) days every four (4) months until they complete the 10 courses.

Each course is designed to help the students incrementally build their disciple-making infrastructure and use provided resources to train their home-grown disciple-making leaders and church planters.

3. Implementation Coaching

Coaches, who lead their own disciple-making ministries, check up on their trainees at least once a month for coaching. This is to assist them in their implementation process of the T-Net principles and programs in their local church. This happens in-between courses to develop the T-Net disciple-making infrastructure using our 8 building blocks and effectively equip disciple-making leaders in the process.

4. Saturation Church Planting

Healthy disciple-making ministries arising from T-Net implementation will also receive further equipping in planting house churches/ home groups that plan other disciple-making house churches/ home groups until the whole country is saturated with disciple-making churches that effectively win the lost and make disciples! These home groups can later be organized into local churches once they have reached the level of expansion and amount of leaders needed.

5. Disciple-making Small Groups

Churches learn to utilize a proven easy-to-use tool called Discovery Bible Study (DBS) adapted from City Teams, to build disciples who make disciples. Simply with a Bible, notebook and pen, members go through a multi-level disciple-making curriculum. Leaders help each disciple to move on to the next level of spiritual maturity with a Spiritual Growth Pathway, which begins from conversion to growth to serving and then eventual leading. DBS has been effective in planting tens of thousands of house churches on a global scale.

6. Recruit and Train Others

As students continue to learn and develop their own disciple-making movement through their local church, they will also enlist and equip others to embark on the journey of finishing the Great Commission. This helps them to grow in their understanding and implementation of the principles as they begin teaching and helping others along the journey, through the same process through coaching.

According to T-Net, how can the Great Commission be finished?

Project Zero will be considered finished when four things become a reality in a given region:

Critical Mass: An effective, disciple-making church of 100 (or two disciple-making churches of 50) for every 1,000 people.
Proximity: An effective, disciple-making church within easy travel distance of every person in an area- say within five kilometers. This proximity is necessary to reach every person.
Magnetism: An effective, disciple-making church in which every kind of person can belong and feel welcome. Every kind of person includes the wealthy, poor, urban, village people,and various tribes, language groups and even foreign-born citizens.
Steady Growth: The effective, disciple-making churches produce conversion growth several times faster than the population growth.

These Four Realities Should Produce Three Results:

Every neighborhood is filled with disciple-making churches
Every person has been personally invited to receive Christ
Every willing convert is nurtured in an ongoing disciple-making process

What makes an effective disciple-making church?

Here are T-Net’s Five Marks of an Effective Disciple Making Church

An effective disciple-making church has a written plan (recipe) for making a disciple. This plan is a written description of the process for making a disciple and a list of biblical disciple-making objectives.
An effective disciple-making church has an effective conversion growth rate, far above the population growth rate of their region (5% to 50%). This is at least 5% for the Philippines.
In an effective disciple-making church, 60%–75% of church attendees also attend an intentional disciple-making small group, or have a one-on-one meeting with a disciple-maker each week.
In an effective disciple-making church, 20%–45% of their attendees “graduate” to the next level of maturity each year.
Finally, an effective disciple-making church consistently makes other disciple-making churches, by planting them or revitalizing existing churches.
T-Net’s commitment is that pastors are equipped and coached until all these 5 marks are realized and accomplished.

Who is T-Net for?

Our programs are specifically designed for pastors and church leaders who desire to develop a disciple-making ministry paradigm by:

Revitalizing their present church (where majority of members are in disciple-making small groups),
Equipping lay leaders to become effective disciple-making small group leaders,
Restructuring the church programming to effectively support disciple-making, as well as
Planting disciple-making churches in other barangays where there are no disciple-making church present

Every T-Net Student must have:

The support of their local church leadership to fully implement the T-Net program and principles within their churches.
Lay leaders who are willing and committed to be trained to plant house churches wherever the Lord leads.
Permission to train other pastors and churches in the T-Net Program in order to contribute to the wider body of Christ and finish the Great Commission.
