An Introduction to Disciple making / Discipleship

The document provides guidance on discipleship and disciple-making. It begins by defining a disciple as someone who is following Jesus, being changed by Jesus, and committed to Jesus' mission. It then discusses the importance of discipleship, noting that disciples are meant to be world-changers and that one-on-one discipleship is the most effective method, replicating itself over time. The document concludes by outlining models of discipleship, including sharing the gospel, connecting with others, helping them minister, and ultimately making them disciples who can repeat the process.

1.WHATISADISCIPLE? WHATISDISCIPLESHIP?
THEFIRSTWORDFORCHRISTIANS WASNOT“CHRISTIANS”BUT “DISCIPLES.”
We know what our job requires and produces— disciples of Jesus should know what a disciple is and how to make them.
JESUS’COMMAND
Matthew 28:18-20 Jesus came near and said to them, “All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
PAUL’SEXAMPLE
Gal 4:19 My children, I am again suffering labor pains for you until Christ is formed in you
2 Cor 3:18 We all, with unveiled faces, are looking as in a mirror at, the glory of the Lord and are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory; this is from the Lord who is the Spirit.
Col 1:28, 29 We proclaim him, warning and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone mature in Christ. I labor for this, striving with his strength that works powerfully in me.
Rom 8:29, For those he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, so that he would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters

ADISCIPLEIS…
A disciple is a person who has responded in faith and obedience to the call to follow Jesus Christ.
Being a disciple is a lifelong process of dying to self while allowing Jesus Christ to come alive in us.
