Venture In Discipleship (VID) is a team-led weekend renewal event designed for laypeople come to your local church to share their personal faith experiences with Jesus Christ.
Created as a follow-up to the Lay Witness Mission, the VID is a strategy where laypersons share their personal experiences in trying to live the Christian life with others. The central focus is on personal commitment to Christ and His ministry. The Venture is designed to help people know the direction in which Jesus is leading them. It brings the congregation to a new sense of ministry to the surrounding community and greatly strengthens the bonds of love and service within the fellowship of faith.
Friday evening begins with a congregational fellowship time which often includes a covered dish dinner. This is followed by a general session with singing and team testimonies and small group discussions. After a re-assembly to hear small group reports, everyone is released for the evening.
Saturday includes meeting in home groups, youth sessions and luncheon meetings for men and women. That evening, following a covered dish meal, general sessions are held.
Sunday the Venture coordinator and team will be present and available during Sunday school and to lead the morning worship service. The coordinator shares a personal witness and challenges the people to make a commitment to ministry using a response guide prepared by the church.
