https://discipleshipplace.org/I'm Passionate About Evangelism
Our Purpose: Our prayer is that every Nazarene would lead one person to faith every year. Jesus commissioned us to “go and make disciples, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.” (Matthew 28:18-20) Jesus offers to give each of us the opportunity to join Him in the amazing journey of disciple making! And He gave an incredible promise to those who are willing to go! He said, “And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” We do not go alone. The One who has all authority in heaven and on earth promised to go with us wherever we go! Join us on the greatest adventure of a lifetime: the journey of disciple-making! Helpful definitions:Evangelism - Engaging in the lives of pre-Christians with the purpose, goal, and intent of leading them to faith in Christ as the first step in their journey of following Christ. Disciple – Christ follower Disciple-Making - The process of leading pre-Christians to faith, Christlikeness, and multiplying disciple-makers. Prevenient Grace - The grace that goes beforehand preparing the way for disciple makers to engage pre-Christians in evangelistic outreach and conversations. Micro-mission - My personal mission and goals to lead pre-Christians to make the decision to become a disciple of Jesus. Macro-mission - My personal mission and goals for involvement in church planting.
https://usacanadaregion.org/evangelism-revivalismHow to Be a Disciplemaker
Do you want help in making disciples of Jesus? Jesus’ intends that all His followers be discipled by His Word, Spirit, and Body. The following dialogue between Hal and Debbi Perkins is intended to guide you in the “what” of making disciples using the Discipled by Jesus (DBJ) model. But there is more. The videos listed below seek to clearly identify the “why” – not merely the what – behind each component of the DBJ model for making disciples of Jesus. Please note that the disciplemaker who only knows and does the “what” without comprehending the “why” will normally miss the key essentials of Jesus’ discipling us using the Discipled by Jesus process. We pray you will be helped to be a far more effective disciplemaker through the series of dialogues between Hal and Debbi below.
