Disciple-Making Pathway
The Disciple-Making Pathway is an equipping resource founded on Jesus’ discipleship model. An apprentice (i.e. disciple) spends time with Jesus, becomes like Jesus, and does the things he does. We want to follow in his steps so closely that we become covered in the dust of our Rabbi.
The first step in the disciple-making pathway is to commit to following Christ; and become His disciple. A Disciple then becomes a Disciple-Maker, and eventually a Maker of Disciple-Makers.
