Most Christians recognize the importance of making disciples, but often struggle with how to do so effectively. GreatCommission.com meets this need by offering user-friendly tools and proven strategies. The resources are divided into two main categories: self-training and training others. For quick reference and practical application, standalone icons are also available below.
I WANT TO LEARN HOW TO MAKE DISCIPLES
Step 1: Pray.
Begin by expressing to God your desire to make disciples. Then build dependence by asking God for guidance and success in finding the right people. Finally, continue to rely on Him as you help them multiply. Read, Pray for helpful information.
Step 2: Find People of Peace.
People of Peace are the first fruits of a disciple making movement (DMM). They welcome conversation, accept prayer, receive Bible stories, and are eager to share them with others, as outlined in Luke 10:1-20. You can identify them situationally using by the FARM Conversation, or intentionally through Prayer Walk.
Step 3: Teach Discovery Bible Study (DBS).
Discovery Bible Study (DBS) is the primary tool in disciple making movements (DMM). There are two versions: the one embedded into this site and an app called WAHA. Each version has its own features, so review both to determine which best suits your disciples. Make sure to familiarize yourself with the Resources listed at the bottom of the DBS page as they promote multiplication.
Step 4: Coach for Multiplication.
Teaching provides initial information, but ongoing coaching offers the long-term encouragement needed for effective multiplication. Coaching involves both coaching others and being coached yourself. Refer to Coach to help you coach others and learn about being coached by others.
I WANT TO TEACH OTHERS HOW TO MAKE DISCIPLES
Level 1: Launch
Launch is a multi-session entry level resource designed to introduce the basic tools of disciple-making. Its primary goal is to help participants start Discovery Groups, providing them with the skills needed to begin their journey in disciple-making.
Level 2: DMM Training
DMM Training is a multi-session resource that offers an in-depth exploration of disciple-making. This training connects the practical "how-to" elements from Launch with the underlying "why" behind disciple-making.
Impact
Impact is a student-led strategy aimed at ensuring every student on every campus in a given area has the opportunity to discover more about God. This initiative focuses on empowering students to take the lead in spreading the message, making it accessible to their peers across various campuses.
