I. Preparation Stage

• Prepare Materials: Participants need to have a Bible and a copy of the “Discipleship Bible Study Guide” (either paper or electronic version, whichever is convenient for reading and taking notes).
• Viewing Device: Prepare a device capable of watching videos to scan QR codes in the book or access YouTube to view the on-location filmed videos.

II. Small Group Bible Study Implementation Steps

1. Introductory Reading: The leader opens to the unit being studied and reads aloud the introduction for that station, helping participants grasp the learning focus of the Scripture passage.
2. Pray Together: After reading the introduction, group members pray together, preparing their hearts and inviting the Holy Spirit to help everyone understand the Scripture content.
3. Watch the Tour Video: By scanning the QR code in the book or visiting SOWIM’s official YouTube channel, watch the Scripture background video.
4. Segmented Study and Discussion: Each station is typically divided into 3 to 5 titled sections, following this cyclical pattern:

• Take Turns Reading: Members take turns reading that section’s Bible passage, then take turns reading the “Scripture Overview” text in the book.
• Share and Discuss: Based on the prepared “Self Reflection/Group Discussion” discussion questions in the book, everyone shares and discusses the content of that section.
• Proceed Sequentially: Repeat the above steps until all sections for that station are completed.

     5. Summary: The leader reads aloud the final conclusion for everyone.

III. Extended Application

• Outside of small group Bible study time, during the week, encourage brothers and sisters to use the “The Extra Mile” unit in the materials for one-on-one or one-on-two discipleship training and mutual accountability, walking together in fellowship through God’s Word.
• The above method of using SOWIM materials and videos can also be applied for personal devotional time.
