DISCIPLESHIP

Therefore go (poreuthentes) and MAKE DISCIPLES (matheteuo) of all nations, baptizing (baptizontes) them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching (didaskontes) them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.  - Matthew 28:19-20

WHAT IF DISCIPLE MAKING IS
Spirit-enabled work of helping/leading others to move “far from Christ” to “close to Christ” to “becoming like Christ?”.  Disciple making is:

1.       Relationship not Cognitive

2.       Model/coach not Instruct/teach

3.       Process not Program

4.       Journey not Arrived

5.       Community not Individual

6.       You grow as you help not You pass on what you have learned

DISCIPLESHIP:
WHEN DO WE START?

·         Up until age 11, development depends upon “what is done to a person.” From ages 11-18, development depends primarily upon “what a person does.”

·         Adolescents begin to develop a strong affiliation to “ideals” and friends. 

·         In the later part of high school and during the early years of college, youth are ready to devote themselves to the “ideals” and commit to noble causes.

·         Global Leadership Summit Interviews: Warren Bennis (2002); Jim Collins (1997); Outliers  - It Begins at 10

DISCIPLESHIP:
OBJECTIVES

·         Spiritual Formation:  Far from Christ / Close to Christ / Becoming like Christ

·         Increase the capacity of group (community) – team contribution

·         Increase individual capacity and impact - holistically

·         Build the capacity of the local church as well as enhance church-to-church relations – promote unity

·         Promote the Kingdom of God - Shalom:  Ignite social responsibility and end extreme poverty
