The Lord has mandated His church to make disciples of all nations. He has promised His presence and authority in helping us fulfill this commission (Matthew 28:18-20). As believers, we are to entrust what we have learned “to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also”. (2 Timothy 2:2)
The discipleship ministry is designed to bring a believer to the point where they can reproduce what they have learned in others. Discipleship is much more than just gaining knowledge and doing an assigned lesson. Discipleship is becoming personally involved in someone’s life. It is modeling and teaching Christlikeness in every area of life. It is encouraging and challenging one another to apply the things that are learned. It is building relationships! (Cf. I Thessalonians 2:7-12) This requires a commitment that will take time, and prayer. It may even mean having to deny yourself, which Jesus stressed was one of the costs of following Him (Mark 8:34-38). But it will be worth it as you do your part in fulfilling the great commission.
