It is right on target. Churches can get involved in all kinds of good activities, but if we are not making disciples, we are not doing what Christ specifically commanded.J.

Even though I've been in vocational ministry for a few years and a cross-cultural M for four years now, this year is the first time in my life I'm being discipled in any intentional way. Not surprisingly, I'm growing like I've never grown before. Discipleship is so powerful, so simple, and yet so overlooked.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for all the insights, questions, and wrestlings you share on your blog. I'm a regular reader of it, and your blog is one of my favorites. Blessings in your ongoing ministry!<BR/><BR/>ChrisChris Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14884178062969205030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23191203.post-91571234969216230392008-09-27T19:16:00.000-05:002008-09-27T19:16:00.000-05:00camel rider,Again, an excellent observation.

We can train people to do all sorts of things in the Kingdom, but "making disciples" a la my previous post on <I>Following Jesus</I> entails so much more hands on personal experience than is ever covered in a training session.J.

In the Spring a friend spoke in our team worship time about discipleship and asked us to share our discipleship experiences. Out of our team of 15 units....2 of us responded with personal examples of how we were discipled by someone.<BR/><BR/>A few months later we broke up into working teams and one of the teams was to address "how do we disciple our new believers?" When they reported, they gave us a list of the various resources in our local dialect that we could give away to people. In other words...after several months of asking the questions...all they came up with was...give them tapes or vcd's.<BR/><BR/>We in the SBC are weak on discipleship...heavy on training and education but weak on actually spending one on one time with someone and walking through the Word together.Camel Riderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10102637696262376442noreply@blogger.com
