One of the greatest needs in the church today is the personal follow-up of new believers. They need not only immediate spiritual assistance, but also long-term growth into Christian discipleship. This book is an expression of that deep concern by eight persons who are respected by pastors and laypeople around the world for their commitment to this goal.
These writers are convinced of the need for developing new believers through a one-on-one relationship so that they in turn can teach others about Christ. This emphasis marks a needed shift from the long-prevailing tradition that the work of evangelism and disciple making is largely the responsibility of the ordained minister in the pulpit.
This book unfolds the whys and hows of disciple making as expressed by some of the leading figures in the Christian world on the subject. The twelve chapters are divided into six parts, including the Introduction, the Biblical Basis, the Methodology, Follow-up, Apprenticeship, and the Vision for Disciple Making. It concludes with a helpful reading list for further study on this topic so vital to the church today.
