GO Make Disciples
The purpose of GO Make Disciples is to provide training to followers of Jesus in the local US church to motivate and equip them to make disciples. The tools provided have been successful in starting disciple making movements all around the world!
Principles
-
White-hot faith : Disciple-making movements begin with men and women who encounter the living God and surrender in loving obedience to his call.
-
Rapid mobilization/Decentralized leadership : Equipping ordinary followers of Jesus to lead disciple making efforts in their own context
-
High levels of commitment : Discipleship is about obedience, not knowledge
-
Contagious relationships : When movements spread rapidly, they do so through preexisting networks of relationships. Networks of relationships are the means by which a movement expands.
-
Adaptive methods : The most effective movements are prepared to change everything about themselves except their core beliefs.
-
Wholistic/Integral disciple-making : Equipping disciple-makers to minister to both the physical and spiritual needs of those around them.
-
Centered on the Word of God, fueled by prayer, empowered by the Holy Spirit.
