We are here as a resource to help you become a better disciple of Jesus and to make new disciples for Him.
As Jesus was about to be taken up, ascending into heaven, He gave the disciples this last command.
“19Go, therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to follow all that I commanded you; and behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
Matthew 28:19-20
Unfortunately, discipleship has become a misunderstood concept in Christian circles. It has become programs, conferences, and committees. You have to buy this book, or subscribe to this podcast, or attend this conference in order to be a disciple maker. Nothing could be further from the truth. These weren’t present in the first-century church, and a lot of disciples were made without them.
Please don’t misunderstand. These may be helpful in your task, but they aren’t essential. Do not let these become excuses for not making disciples.
It starts with relationships. The main relationship is your relationship with Jesus. That relationship will set the stage for our relationship with the person we are discipling. If we look at the relationship between Jesus and His disciples, we see how close it was. He cared for them, prayed for them, taught them, and nurtured them. He cried with them, laughed with them, and encouraged them. He settled their arguments. He also disciplined them when they got out of line.
After the relationship is established, begin studying the gospels together. Your main resources are the Holy Spirit and the Bible. An Interlinear Bible will also be of great help in understanding what the scriptures are saying. If you don’t know how to use one, talk to your pastor.
Be sure to spend time in prayer independently and together, especially at the beginning and end of each meeting. Pray for guidance and understanding from the Holy Spirit.

Thank you for your prayers and support as we strive to follow Jesus’ command to make disciples!
