Jesus Life Revolution Project
Projet de La Révolution de la vie de Jésus
Presented by J-Life Togo
Knowing us
J-Life Africa exist to equip and mobilize the local Church in Africa to
run Christ centered disciplemaking youth movements that will impact the local
and global community.
We are a non-denominational movement that exists to train leaders to
mobilize disciplemaking movements across Africa. We believe that the most
effective way to bring life transformation is not through the age-old
"seminar" or "lecture" model, but rather through
"life-on-life" mentoring and coaching. The "life- on-life"
concept is based on spending more time with trainees. The more time we spend in
close relationship with the trainees, the more we will transfer the DNA of
Christ. But the importance for us is not the content as much as the coaching
and mentoring for life change and impact. J-Life seeks to mobilize leaders that
want a holistic approach to the wonderful news of Christ, an approach that will
transform communities.

Ministry ingredients
|
To effectively fulfill our purpose we believe that the following
four ingredients need to be evident in all that we do.
- Connect:
This ingredient highlights the importance of relationships in mobilizing leaders and workers. The sooner a connection between trainer/coach and trainee can be established, and the deeper this relationship can be, the greater will be the transfer of the DNA.
- Impart:
This involves a multi-faceted transfer of the DNA to trainees. J-Life believes that this "impartation" cannot happen in isolation and has to occur in the context of the other ingredients listed herein. Other words for 'impart' are: pass on, communicate, inform, tell, convey, teach, instruct, divulge, disclose, reveal, expose.
- Equip:
As a ministry, J-Life is responsible to not only "impart information" but also to ensure that the trainee is coached and mentored in the implementation of this information.
- Empower:
J-Life will endeavor to provide resources and assistance to those individuals with whom J-Life has in some way been able to "connect, impart and equip". This is done to enable these individuals to fulfill a calling that resonates with the core values and ministry beliefs of J-Life.
The project: (Jesus Life Revolution
Project)
Jesus Life Revolution Project is a life transforming program developed
in Togo and can be transfer to other French speaking countries in West Africa
to equip young people in local churches to know the reality of Jesus life and
live Him like every single day.
Justification of the
project:
We believe that it is the will of God for every believer to be like
Christ and live like Him. This is the essence of discipleship. But today in
most of our churches, the focus is not on Christ but on doctrines and human
traditions. And in our regions, many missionaries who came based their works on
evangelization that gave birth to many churches. These churches are modeling
themselves into daughter churches without a strong Fondation of discipleship.
The result is that we have superficial Christians who don’t have any deep root
on Christ. They can live every kind of life and still call themselves Christian
and they can’t even reproduce themselves into other people to take them to
maturity. They can easily renounce their Christian faith and be converted to
another attractive religion.
The Jesus Life Revolution Project is establish to be a tool that the
Lord will use to awake youth and build them and coaches them to live and be
like Jesus. They will then reproduce themselves into other people and will
activate a revolution on Christ living in their churches. We want to see in
every church a new challenge of focus on Christ radically intentionally.
Concept
The project will be run like a camp program. Three camps encounters of
three days in a year with a selected young people in different churches. They
will after all reproduce themselves in other young people in their churches.
Camps 1: Between March-April (three days residential)
Ø Topic: knowing Christ
Camp 2: Between July-August (three
days residential)
Ø Topic: Growing in Christ
Camp 3: Between November-December
(three days residential)
Ø Topic: Serving Christ,
(developing your Christ-like ministry)
All the three camps are linked because it will be continuity from the
first session. If the first camp is missed, a new comer cannot continue in July
or December. He needs to wait to start
the next year.
The participant’s numbers will not exceed 33 people.
While J-Life Africa general programs targets youth leaders and pastors,
the Jesus Life Revolution project aims to touch every believer who need to be
rooted in Christ and live the rest of his live to serve Him freely.
During the year program, J-Life Africa general DNA will be taught
mastered by the trainees.
For the project to be a real life changing program and to have an
eternal impact, we will manage an accountability groups of 5 to 6 persons in
which every participant will be. The accountability group will continue to meet
on a monthly base during the whole year of training. And for each group a
mentor will be given to lead and coach the youths in their development
process. The mentor is an above reproach
mature Christian nominated by at least three witnesses. They will volunteer to
follow the trainees during one year according to J-life vision and DNA.
After the impact of the
year, each trainee is asked to select three people from his church or school to
start the same journey.
The project will last five years. After that, a new strategy can be
established or renewed.

Conclusion:
When Jesus was going to the father, He asked us to make disciples of all
nations and teach them to obey. This is our mission. To be a disciple means
first to display the character of Jesus and second to live His priorities. The Jesus Revolution Project is established
to equip the local churches with a movement of intentional disciple-makers who
will reproduce them into other Christian.
The project is a revolution of Jesus life. Jesus is our ultimate model for life and
ministry. We are very sure that discipleship revolution is what our local
churches need now.
