Disciple Maker? Start Here.

According to Matthew 28, Jesus tells us that the mission of every follower of Jesus is to make disciples. This seems like a daunting task, so most of the time we shy away from it in exchange for become attenders of events put on by the professional Christians, i.e. pastors, instead of making disciples. Yet this is not how things were supposed to be. In Ephesians 4, Paul says that God gives the church Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors and Teachers to EQUIP God’s people for the work he has called them to. That is what this Discipleship Toolbox is all about. The toolbox is designed to equip you with resources and a philosophy that empowers you to make other disciples of Jesus.
