Watching Group
We see 70% of the people in the church are unlearned and become involved in hearing God’s Word. Our Bible watching program is based on Romans 10:17 – Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. We do this to encourage and nurture regular watching of the Bible in visual form.
The Device
We have a projector, called Acclaimer which we give out for free of cost for watching groups. The Acclaimer is a portable multimedia projector designed for group settings of 30 to 50 people, featuring preloaded audio Bibles and Gospel films. It’s compact, lightweight, and includes a powerful internal speaker with easy navigation and a remote control. It offers 8,000 mAh battery backup and can project content up to 150 inches.

4 Pillars
When it comes to the Bible Watching Group program, we focus on the 4 pillars.
- Pillar 1 is all about LISTENING THE BIBLE,
- Pillar 2 is that you listen to the bible IN A GROUP.
- The 3rd pillar is that we emphasis on having meaningful DISCUSSION in the group.
- The 4th pillar is having a regular FOLLOW-UP within the group when somebody failed to attend.
The Process
On an average, a group can be formed with 10 people to maximum of 40 people. You might have this question of how the Bible Watching Group happens. To give you an example, you can plan for a one-hour program. Each watching group should spend at least 20 minutes in watching the gospel and the covenant films, allow another 20 minutes for discussion and questions from the group and later the leader can take 20 minutes to explain and to give a short exhortation from the passages, with that the meeting can be concluded with a word of prayer. When you are having discussion for 20 minutes, do make sure that you follow the Head, Heart, and Hands discussion method. The method works like this: The group leader asks questions that focus on those three areas.
The HEAD needs to know the facts of the passage, so that they can repeat it to friends or other people in the home without changing it or missing some important point.
The HEART needs to believe the story. So, the leader asks questions like, “What lesson are you taking away from this portion of scripture?” “What important thing did you discover about God from that?”
The HAND need to know what to do now they have heard the story. It is not enough to simply hear the scriptures, without acting upon what the scriptures teach us to do.
Reporting
The group leader must share collective feedback on how impactful the program is, how often they gather, how many hours in a week they listen to the scripture, testimonies, pray requests, photographs and videos can be filled in an excel sheet, which can be submitted through a google form. The Listening Group reporting form differs from the Family Through The Bible reporting. We expect 3 times reporting in 6 months period.
