The call to discipleship is a call to new life. It is about learning the ways of Jesus and unlearning the ways of the world. It is about embracing truth and integrity while turning away from deceptive words and practices. It is the path to life as God intended it to be.
The Eleventh Challenge:
Making Disciples
Pray as you begin: “Lord, show me one or two people who yearn for a closer walk with you. Make me bold and keep me humble as I offer to walk alongside them on their journey of discipleship.”
As you pray, do not be surprised if God brings names to mind. If that happens, arrange to meet with them one at a time and say something like this:
I was praying to find people who wanted a closer walk with God and your name came to mind. Does that surprise you? Is there a desire in your life to draw closer to God? Would you consider coming together with me and one or two others to explore what it means to be a disciple of Jesus in today’s world?
When people respond positively, be in touch with me and I’ll see that you get some resources to move forward in your discipleship journey together.
