From the Author
The Disciple Makers Guide has been used to make disciples and plant churches among remote tribes in the Amazon Rainforest, in Indian villages along the Ganges River, on college campuses, and in local churches. My prayer is that this Disciple Makers Guide, (DMG), will be a catalyst to transform your life, your church, your neighbors, and the world as you join in fulfilling the Great Commission.
2000 years ago, Jesus offered a call to follow him, to become disciples who make disciples. Today, there are Christians in our churches but very few disciple makers. The DMG was developed out of a need to resource local churches and ministries with an accessible and easily reproducible tool that can kickstart disciple making movements and personal spiritual formation.
When serving as a campus minister, this guide was a vital part of forming a culture where over 100 students committed to one-on-one disciple making each semester. Now as a lead pastor of a local church, we see increased salvations, baptisms, and overall spiritual health from our intentional process of walking through the DMG with every prospective member. The DMG is a tool that is used as a part of regular training events to help cast a vision for disciple making and to kickstart disciple making groups among adults and students.
