World Hope Bible Institute (WHBI)
A 16-Course theological training regimen designed to help those who have no access to theological training in a Seminary style format to have access to systematic theological training. This material has been used on a bi-monthly training schedule and has been very instrumental for training up leaders who can then in-turn, train other leaders in a reproducible fashion. The materials are copyrighted, but NO copyright use fee is required by the organization. For copyright reasons, we are unable to provide the electronic copies directly, but those copies are available upon request. For more information, please contact us at zhenlixiangmu@rightbox.com or you can contact WHBI via Dr. Sheehan directly at stuarts@whmi.org.

Resisting Cults
This reference guide is a hand-book of sorts for resisting cults and how to share the gospel with them. Similar resources have been developed en masse in the USA. Such resources include www.equip.org or The Kingdom of the Cults by Walter Martin and Ravi Zacharias.
Church Models
These study tools are designed to help inform church leaders of how other church models operate and give them the tools necessary to utilize those church models for their context should they so choose. There are limitless resources in the USA for various church models. We don’t endorse any one model, but rather take the approach that the model that best suits a particular location to best expand God’s kingdom is the best model to use.
Small Group Ministry
This 1-Day group training series is designed for use with any church model that utilizes, or plans to utilize, small groups as a part of their ministry strategy. It is usually taught in conjunction with the Healthy Disciple as a tool for practical application, but can also be taught as a stand-alone training. This has been used with traditional churches, Sunday schools, cell groups, traditional house churches and more.
Sunday School
1 Year Sunday School curriculum for children. As with the Marriage and Family category, it is impossible to keep up with the vast Sunday School curriculum for children developed by organizations such as Lifeway (www.lifeway.com). Contained herein is a one-year Sunday school curriculum set for use by church leaders in developing children who love and follow Jesus.
Important Co-Worker Training
This is a “catch all” category for various trainings that have proven helpful in reproducible leadership skill development. One tool is the Ten Minute Sermon. This tool helps developing leaders craft simple sermons that get to the point. Also contained with this link is a translation of the Quick Scripture Reference for Counseling 3rd Edition by John G. Kruis. This tool has proven helpful for leaders as they learn to counsel others using God’s word.
Marriage and Family
This is a “catch all” category for various trainings and resources that have proven helpful in reproducible leadership development when it comes to marriage and family issues. It is impossible to keep up with the vast marriage and family resources developed by organizations like Focus on the Family (www.focusonthefamily.com) or Family Life (www.familylife.com) and many resources can be purchased from those organizations. For basic family and marriage use, some have been provided for free here. In addition, a study guide was developed by a colleague for the book Shepherding a Child’s Heart by Tedd Tripp is contained here within.
The Compass
The Compass CP Training Session Series focuses on God's word and uses an 8-phase framework for helping to diagnose potential pitfalls in our church planting work. Through this process, we will, together, intentionally focus on Jesus, by the Power of the Holy Spirit to do God's work, God's way as we go and plant churches until everyone has access to the gospel!
It comes with video teaching, facilitating and training guides.
Vision Casting
The Four-Part Series takes a look at God’s End Vision and begins setting clear expectations of what is expected of us! Part One answers four key questions from God’s word. Part Two provides graphic representations of some of those concepts answered in part one. Part Three analyzes some of the Apostle Paul’s strategies for doing God’s will and Part Four provides more practical application for church leaders.
Kingdom Growth Strategist One (KGS 1)
Kingdom Growth Strategist Two (KGS 2)
(Formerly NSC 2) This 3-Day follow-up training is designed to relook to God for His direction and then re-create/modify a plan from NSC 1 that is broken down into the same six manageable key areas. More time is spent on each key area and by the end of the training each participant has a solid, practical, executable plan for how to do what God has called them to do.
