A Plan For Disciple Making
Matthew 28:18-20; Ephesians 4:12-16
Purpose: The purpose for disciple making is to equip the saints to advance the Kingdom of God by committing themselves to be taught to go out and make disciples for the Kingdom of God.
The Focus: The focus is on to lead new converts to become disciples and after 3 months of Discipling, disciple-makers. In other words, to be like the one who disciples them.
Objective:
- Become a disciple-maker by committing yourself to being a disciple first.
- Become actively involved in walking your community for one hour daily to be a witness for Christ.
- Become intentionally relational with those you received their phone numbers from, by giving them a weekly call and praying for their needs.
Summery: A True disciple-maker is one who has been a disciple under an experienced disciple-maker and has been leased to go make disciples from everywhere in the world. Starting first with their family, neighbors, relatives, friends, and co-workers.

Deoxyribonucleic acid (/diˈɒksɪraɪboʊnjuːkliːɪk, -kleɪ-/ (listen); DNA) is a molecule composed of two chains that coil around each other to form a double helix carrying the genetic instructions used in the growth, development, functioning, and reproduction of all known organisms and many viruses. DNA and ribonucleic acid (RNA) are nucleic acids; alongside proteins, lipids and complex carbohydrates (polysaccharides), nucleic acids are one of the four major types of macromolecules that are essential for all known forms of life.
