Making Disciples

Making disciples is the act of bringing people into a relationship with Jesus. This is always done out of a place of love & peace. The goal is for people to encounter Jesus. The following is a basic suggestion for planting churches:

  1. Pray: Church growth is always preceded by prayer & unity, interceding & listening (The New Testament, any major revival).

  2. Go: Involves interacting with people in a particular area. This should be guided by the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:18-20, Romans 10:14-15). It could contain the following elements:

    • Interacting with a person of peace

    • Meeting a need in the community

    • Doing “street” outreach

    • Partnering with a local Church

  3. Disciple: Teaching & guiding people who want to follow Jesus (Matthew 28:18-20). It should involve but is not limited to:

    • Studying the Scripture (2 Timothy 3:16)

    • Time of Prayer (Acts 1:14, 2:42)

    • Active serving (Matthew 25:36)

    • Communion (Luke 22:17-19)

    • Baptizing followers (Matthew 28:19)

    • Worship (Ephsesians 5:19)

    • Raise up people to pray, go, and disciple (Ephesians 4:11-16)
