HOW DOES IT WORK?
EXILIO is a 24 week course which will require you and your participants to spend, on average, three or four hours a week completing the required tasks. These required tasks fall under three categories: READ, GATHER, EXPLORE. Here’s how they fit together:

1. READ
Each group member will be required to read Michael Frost’s book, Exiles: Living Missionally in a Post-Christian Culture. The book is broken into four broad parts. Each group member will have six weeks in which to read each part.

2. GATHER
After reading each section you will gather together in a cluster meeting to discuss what you’ve read, watch a DVD session and discuss your learning together.

3. EXPLORE
We believe that real learning requires much more than reading. You have to act on what you are discovering. Ignition is a 12 week group Bible study of the Acts of the Apostles. It is designed to get your small group investigating opportunities for missional living right where they are. Rather than just being a weekly discussion about the Bible, as most Bible studies are, Ignition sets a number of ‘assignments’ each week, to be completed before the group meets each week. As well as leading Ignition over 12 weeks, each Exilio participant will be required to complete a number of short challenges based around the material in Exiles. These are discussed at each of the clusters.
