Disciple Making

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 all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
Matthew 28:19-20

You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people’s feet. You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
Matthew 5:13-16

And what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also.
2 Timothy 2:2

All disciples of Jesus are called to make other disciples of Jesus. We rely on the Holy Spirit to evangelize and serve, to model Christ-like behavior, and to teach and equip others in their journey of faith in Jesus. This intentional practice is ongoing, requiring commitment and relationship building. By following Jesus’s example, disciples make disciples by spending time with them and investing in their spiritual growth. We teach and encourage others to spend time with Jesus, to reflect His character, and to then partner with Him in His mission to bring the Gospel to the world.
