In
this section of our website, I will share many resources
for evangelism and discipleship. I trust that these
resources will aid your ministry and whet your appetite
to reach out to others.
The
imperative of the local church is to simultaneously
emphasize evangelism and disciple-making. Then salvation
will not end with the second generation. I think God
desires multiplication that comes from a concerted,
on-going ministry of discipling the newly saved.
My
experience has been that people's lives are built through
an on-going discipleship ministry. Early in our ministry,
back in 1961, as people came to Christ, I determined to
disciple them. Our adult workers, teachers, deacons and
others in the local church ministry came from the ranks
of those who studied through a 30 week discipling course.
What a difference that made in their lives! From 1997
through 2000 I discipled over 60 people while engaged
in ministry at a church in Virginia. This made a great
impact on the church then, and continues to as many of
these people are now discipling others.
