Simple Steps Toward Intentional DisciplemakingSample
Day 5: Invite Them into the Work
Jesus promised, “I will make you fishers of men” (Matthew 4:19). Yet Jesus did not only tell the disciples how to fish, He invited them to join Him in the “fishing.”
For example, in the feeding of the five thousand, Jesus invited the disciples to participate in the miracle (see John 6, Matthew 14, Mark 6, Luke 9). “You give them something to eat,” Jesus said to the disciples (Matthew 14:16 NIV, emphasis added).
We, too, invite those we are discipling to join us in the work of ministry. After all, our goal is to raise up participants in the Kingdom of God, not merely spectators of it.
About this Plan
Every believer is called to make disciples. If God has given you a fresh vision for helping people know Christ, grow in their relationship with Him, and help others do the same, you are in an exciting place—at the core of Jesus’ Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20)! Over the next six days we will explore how Jesus helped people grow spiritually—principles that are still essential for disciplemakers today.
