Everyone a disciple-maker
One of the key emphases of Disciple Making Movements is that every follower of Jesus is called to be a disciple-maker. It is not the job of the few, but of the many. The people that the YBA team will meet in India are vegetable growers, company administrators, electricians and everyday people, yet with a deep conviction that they are not to be mere spectators of church, but rather active participators in the plans of God to build his church. Jesus did not call superstars, or the theological elite of his day to follow him, but fishermen, tax collectors and those who might have excluded themselves.
Recognising that we are all disciple makers is the start, but then we
need to be equipped with how to do this.
Jesus spent much of the final three years of his life doing just this,
and equipping his followers. When he
ascended to heaven he left behind a few good disciples who went on to turn the
world upside down.
Our YBA team leaves for India next week on Wednesday 15th
January. Please pray that they will be
both envisioned and equipped as disciple makers.
