Day 1: Disciples Make Disciples
Who has had a great influence on your life for Christ? What qualities did this person have that enabled him or her to have such an influence on you?
I have asked hundreds of people these questions. No one has ever said he was helped because the person was so intellectual or had such a dynamic personality or was so good-looking!
What they do say is that it was the person’s relationship with people and God that really mattered:
• “He really cared for me.”
• “She had such a genuine interest in me.”
• “He believed in me.”
• “He had a close walk with God.”
• “She took the time to listen to me. She was open and honest.”
To underline the truth that the qualities of a disciplemaker are available to all of us, our Lord seemed deliberately to train those who “were unschooled, ordinary men” (Acts 4:13) and leave His work in their hands.
Yes, Jesus’ Great Commission in Matthew 28:18-20 applied to the original disciples, applied to disciples through the years, and reaches this generation—God desires you to be a disciple who makes disciples!
As you read the Great Commission, which phrase do you think best sums up the essence of disciplemaking?

About this Plan
When the disciples heard Jesus say, “Go and make disciples” (Matthew 28:19), they responded, “Yes, Lord,” and did it. Today, when we hear this same command, we respond, “Who, me? I’m not eloquent. No one’s ever shown me how to do this.” But the qualities of a disciplemaker are available to all of us. Over the next six days, let’s look at how God has equipped you to “make disciples”!
