Most Christians understand the importance of making disciples, but often struggle with how to do it effectively. GreatCommission.com addresses this challenge by providing user-friendly tools and proven strategies. The resources are organized into two main categories: self-training and training others. Additionally, stand alone icons are available below and under Tools for quick reference.
I WANT TO LEARN HOW TO MAKE DISCIPLES
Step 1: Pray
Begin by expressing to God your desire to make disciples. Seek His guidance and ask for success in connecting with the right people. Continue to rely on Him as you support their growth and multiplication. Read, Pray for helpful insights.
Step 2: Find People of Peace
People of Peace are crucial to a disciple-making movement (DMM). They are open to conversations, receptive to prayer, and eager to share Bible stories with others, as described in Luke 10:1-20. You can identify them situationally using the FARM Conversation, or intentionally through Prayer Walk.
Step 3: Teach Discovery Bible Study (DBS)
Discovery Bible Study (DBS) is the key tool in disciple-making movements (DMM). Familiarize yourself with the Resources listed at the bottom of the DBS page, as they support multiplication.
Step 4: Coach for Multiplication
While teaching provides essential information, ongoing coaching offers the long-term encouragement necessary for effective multiplication. Coaching involves both mentoring others and being mentored yourself. Refer to Coach for guidance on coaching others and for tips on receiving coaching from others.
I WANT TO TEACH OTHERS HOW TO MAKE DISCIPLES
Level 1: Launch
Launch is a multi-session introductory resource designed to equip participants with the basic tools of disciple-making. Its primary objective is to help individuals start Discovery Groups, equipping them with the essential skills to embark on their disciple-making journey.
Level 2: DMM Training
DMM Training is offered by Experience Life (eLife) and is a free, comprehensive, multi-session resource that delves deeply into disciple-making. It builds on the practical "how-to" elements from Launch, while also exploring the underlying "why" of disciple-making principles, offering a more profound understanding of the process. After experiencing Launch, go through the DMM Training yourself, then use the notes to teach others.
Impact
Impact is a student-led strategy designed to ensure that every student on every campus in a given area is personally invited to learn more about God.
