What makes the Living Active Method unique?

Research shows that today’s children and youth are unengaged, disconnected and often feeling hopeless. Many have concluded that next generation ministry methods are too programmatically complex, overly reliant on passive learning, lack spiritual depth and impact, and don't develop them as multiplying disciplers. The Living Active Method is a unique, simple, 6-step discipleship methodology focused purely on God’s Word, that helps everyone to:

  • Engage actively
  • Grow intellectually
  • Reflect spiritually
  • Apply it personally
  • Live it out transformationally
  • Impact others missionally
  • And multiply disciplers
     
LAM is also simple to learn and pass on! Once you know the Living Active Method, all you need is a Bible - you won’t need new Bible curriculum every year, supplies, crafts or anything else.

LAM engages children and youth fully around God's pure Word!

What's included in the LAM Journey?

The Living Active Method Journey takes about 8-15 hours to complete. It offers a dynamic and engaging training experience through which adults and youth from churches, ministries, and missions organizations can be trained to lovingly disciple children and youth in a way that builds a deep resilient faith and helps them become effective multiplying disciplers.

You will get access to:

  • A full training with 34 LAM teaching videos

Pastors, youth, and ministry leaders
 who love our
approach to learning

“It was definitely a blessing for us . . . . I think what resonated with me the most is how transferable and scalable the LAM method is [for discipleship] - even in regions with limited resources and technology. “ 
Leah, California


"Thank God for this learning platform! It's very easy to use. . . .My daughter is learning beside me. I'm now sharing it with other pastor friends and colleagues."
M., SE Asia
“ I was absolutely captivated and excited about this pure and simple way to teach children (and all ages, actually) the Bible and make disciples. I was with 4 and 5 year olds at my church this last Sunday as a last-minute helper and was amazed how my perspective had changed. . . . Just implementing some of the concepts made a huge difference! I watched transformation and safety come about before my very eyes! I and they experienced the love of God in such a beautiful way! And I as a "leader" felt so much more engaged!”
Martha, Oregon

"We had no idea that using LAM with children and youth could help us plant churches! But now seeing what God is doing, we are excited to learn even more."
A. S.
“I used to stand before children with a Bible verse or verses and preach to them, but it never brought a big change. Because of the Living Active Method, my class now is interesting and interactive. I have noticed a significant change when I am teaching children."
Jared, Kenya


"This Living Active Method makes the Word of God come alive for everyone, no matter their age. I personally have learned whole Bible stories easily through it, and I see many children and youth whose lives are changed through using this method. It's also easy for them to share with others too."
Agnes, Tanzania
