Jesus called us to make disciples who will make disciples. What a great privilege it is to make an ongoing personal investment in the spiritual development of those we know. 

 

How do I invite and begin discipling those I know into a disciple-making relationship? 

 

• Contact our Next Steps Minister at  doug@eastwoodbaptist.org.

  • They are ready to provide training and support all along your disciple-making journey.​

​

• Be prayerful and purposeful (Luke 6:12-14, Matthew 9:37-38). modeling all you expect of the disciple (l Cor. 11:l ).

​

• Rely on God's strength (2. Timothy 2:1)

​

• Ask God to show you whom to disciple and prayerfully discern whether the potential disciples are and will be:

  • ​Faithful in becoming disciple­ makers too (2 Timothy 2:2) 

  • Available to meet weekly

  • Teachable with regard to your leading and Christ's work in them

​

• Extend a face-to-face invitation to walk alongside you on this journey to become more like Jesus (Matthew 4:17-22).

  • The group you disciple should:

    • ​consist of 3-4 persons including yourself and be of the same gender

    • be highly relational with high accountability

    • rely almost exclusively on Scriptural content (a 4D Outline is available)

    • follow a reproducible process, namely SPECKA meet in public places.
